Australia: Libyan student "upset" by how Australian women dress went on sexual assault spree and laughed at his victims - Jihad Watch

Quote:
Judge Rizkalla said he struggled to adapt to Australian life, without a mosque nearby and with little support.
So without someone to tell this 28 year old man not to grope teen girls he can't figure it out himself. Its very telling of the culture he comes from that he just assumes it would be OK to grope anyone he wants.

Take him outback with a few days of water. Let him try to walk back. Naked.

That would give him time to contemplate getting along in another culture and the costs of molesting women in that culture.

Maybe the other prisoners can teach him the proper way to behave toward Australian women. Three years of these "lessons" should do a good attitude adjustment on him.

He must have missed the "Sl*t Walk."

'**** walk' protests begin in Australia - World News, 218777

"The global movement reportedly began in Canada, after a Toronto policeman told an audience of university students in January that women should avoid dressing like "sluts" so that they were not victimised."

It is interesting. I know a young woman who was groped on a bus while on holiday in a Muslim country (hint, it is one that a lot of people argue is really a European country).

She was standing on a bus wearing a skirt (that went below her knees) and a man, who was sitting, was sliding his hand up her skirt. She repeatedly swatted his arm and everyone on the bus was watching except the women who all had their heads down.

When she told the story to the desk-woman at her hotel, it was suggested that her blonde hair was at fault.

I don't want to condemn a whole people for the actions of a few, but there is definitely a certain way that women are perceived in Muslim society and if you don't adhere to the norms set by that perception, it is considered an invitation to bad behavior.

For the record, I have know a few Muslims from different countries here in America and they are pretty well assimilated to the standards of behavior in the West.

Europe disarms its citizens with strict laws against self-defense regardless of the use of tools. In the USA many men will find they pull back a stump, get their eyes poked, or worse, out if they sexually assault a woman here. Self defense is a basic human right.

As radical Islam spreads across the West so does misogyny and the "blame the victim" mentality when women are sexually assaulted. Those who support the rise of radical Islam in the West support a return to the Dark Ages for women. Sad really.

Good. Deviants who wander outside of social norms should be punished and brought into line. Conformity is next to godliness.

And to think there are people in the USA, people with POWER, who want to allow the law systems that radical muslims like Lil' Gaddhafi here believe in.

I have zero problem with islam, I do have a problem with radical islam and the far-left "tolerant" lawmakers that support it.
