Does that make it OK then? It really makes you think about what must go on in Algeria if his defence imply that's what he sees as normal, acceptable behaviour.
I wonder if the fact she was a mere infidel had anything to do with it? Just asking.
A FAILED asylum seeker living in Britain illegally has been jailed for raping a woman outside a nightclub.
Algerian Abdul Amouz, 19, dragged his 21-year-old victim into an alley after dancing with her at the Tokyo club in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.
She told police she had little memory of the attack, which left her with cuts and bruises. But as Amouz fled he dropped his wallet containing his ID.
Despite DNA evidence, he denied he was responsible for the attack on May 9 until moments before his trial at Leeds Crown Court.
Jailing him for four years and nine months, Judge Rodney Grant described him as a serious danger to young women. He is likely to be deported once released.
James Doyle, mitigating, said Amouz had been in the UK for only three months and was very drunk.
“How dreadful are the curses which Islam lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property‹either as a child, a wife, or a concubine must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.
Far from being moribund, Islam is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science -the science against which it had vainly struggled -the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”
