| Rape victim defends embattled sheik November 04, 2006 12:00 Brilliant PR strategy from the Lebanese Muslim Association. It just goes to show what we are up against. F*ing bastards these Islamofascist gits are. But they are masters of spin doctoring and it is in the media that the war is won and lost. They are flogging us. I wonder where they dug this alleged rape victim from, if indeed she was ever raped. Disgusting. Especially in light of the fact a victim of the gang rapes carried out by muslim pakistanis and lebs from southwest sydney in the Lakemba Mosque catchment area came out and told off the Sheik and said he had effectively incited the crime committed on her body. A WOMAN who described herself as a rape victim today defended the mufti of Australia, Sheik Taj al-Din al-Hilaly, saying his controversial comments did not mean he justified rape. In fact he said he would lock up rape victims in prison as they were partly responsible for thier own rape. He said it was their fault as if they were 'in their home, in their room, in their hijab' it would not have occurred. Sheik's PR machine leaps into action The sheik has been at the centre of controversy since likening immodestly dressed women to uncovered meat and suggesting they invited sexual assault. Ms Taylor said she understood what the sheik had tried to say, and called on Australians to be more open-minded. Open your mind to the idea that if you don't wear the hijab, 'you're asking for it'. Open your minds to the idea that women are not equals with the right to refuse sex. "He was not being politically correct. But, he's not a politician, he's a philosophical leader," she said. Who leads 5000 muslims many of whom participated in gang rapes specifically targetting non-Muslim 'aussie sluts', the attitude they learned in the mosque. "He's a wonderful man and his analogy certainly did not justify the act of rape. No, it did not justify it, it excused it and blamed the victim. Two different things. "He believes that the act of rape is one of the worst capital crimes in Islam." for which he believes the victim must be punished Ms Taylor said she had been raped twice, when she was 14 and 30, but no one was ever charged. got any evidence?
Islamic female to the rescue Sheik al-Hilaly yesterday said he would resign if an impartial panel found him guilty of inciting rape. More islamic females on the jury? Direct incitement, no. Providing the cultural background and attitude behind it? Yes. Creating a culture of disrespect for non-Muslim women? yes. Blaming the victim for rape? yes. | |

| #9 sounds like the Ms. was never raped to me and found herself a platform for 15 minutes of fame. I think we need to give her 30 minutes instead. As a woman, I do not think her comments should be left unchallenged. She needs to show some proof of prior rapes or be called on this PR stunt. All women need to be concerned by what is transpiring. Gang rape is becoming a Muslim weapon of war in western societies. This woman is helping to excuse Hilaly and to minimize the horror of these crimes for the individuals who experience them. If she wants to be a PR symbol, we women should allow her to become one, but not to excuse rape - but to expose the danger that Hilaly creates for all western women. |

| #5 She believes the rapes (if any) were her fault adn the Imam is right. Those who don't report rapes often feel (incorrectly) that they did something to provoke the attack. Years of self-hate, guilt and fear follow. Sounds like this miss is oneof them. She'll embrace Halily explanation as confirming her own fears. |

| #4 Jackal - 90 lashes is KSA. Stoning to death is the alternative. |

| #3 Is commiting a grievous prevarication one of the steps in the muslim conversion process? |

| #1 I guess she wasn't raped in Iran. Or Afghanistan. Or much of Pakistan. Either time. Or she wouldn't be alive to talk about it. |
