#1 Good. Their culture says women must be protected from men with evil intentions to the point of locking them away in hidden purdah. Thus his culture's ideal is that women are protected by good men, and the abusers are by definition evil. The fact that their culture is actually set up to abuse women on both the macro and micro scale, and all those defined as "not us" as well, doesn't change the ideal these gentlemen imbibed with their mothers' milk.

#2 IIRC, this is actually the second string of mediatised gangrapes by muslim migrants in australai, the first one being done by a gang of lebaneses, and it was as sordid as this one, with even one slight terror sidenote (the main perp made bogus terror claims, threatening attacks in Australia from his cell, if "muslim prisoners were not released from aussie jails", which perfectly illustrate the mental imagery of theses "passive-aggressive" jihad boyz).

I'm normally very shocked and disturbed by the sexual exploitation found in most jails, but I do hope theses animals, both the lebaneses and the pakistanis, will experience instant karma while serving their time; well, after all, unlike many european countries, muslims are not the ruling majority in the correction system there.
I'll make an exception for them.

#3 Why don't they make acceptance of the wrong of one's act a condition for lenient treatment?

#5 I'll merely repost the wonderful Charles Napier quote someone here provided a while back. (Let me know if all of you get tired of it.) That an Aussie court has deemed it fit to look past a so-called "cultural defence" and impose lengthy sentences makes it all the more appropos.

'"It is your custom to burn widows. We also have a custom. When men burn a woman alive, we take those men, tie a rope around their necks, and hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your national custom. And then we will follow ours.'"

#6 Close circut to all lawyers that represent these barbarians. It is officially a trend that the "cultural timebomb" is a losing defense strategy.

#8 I agree with Zenster. Charles Napiers words should be on every courthouse and port of entry.

Multiculturalism is fine and great but it is not an excuse for bad behavior and it must swing both ways and when in doubt the laws/culture of the home country MUST prevail. There many nations to choose from, if they don't like it perhaps Saudi Arabia or Pakistan will be more to their liking.

I shudder to think about the women who live in the countries where that culture is the norm.

In Pakistan, the "locals" attack Christians with impunity with the blessing of the local Mosque Imam.

Religion of peace? Bull!
Same God? No chance!

#11 BigEd, I'm not so silly as to think that the women locked in purdah experience it as an act of love. And any man that tried to do so to me would not long enjoy his manhood, difficult though I find even the idea of me acting violently. But the original intent of locking women away was always to protect the women of the harem (and their children) from the dangers of a violent world. In ancient times the harem was in the inner keep of the citadel, the safest part of the city.

But even though the culture of Pakistan can charitably be described barbaric, and realistically as evil incarnate, the inchoate ideal is still that good men protect women from evil men.
