Frontiers of Islamophobia
There is so much that is claimed to be “Islamophobia” that it’s difficult to keep up. But this one surely bears mention. Daniel Greenfeld of Frontpagemag reports on Homaidan al-Turki, a Saudi rapist imprisoned in Colorado, who claims that his sex offender treatment program is Islamophobic:
Al-Turki’s insistence [is] that he shouldn’t have to undergo sex offender treatment.
Al-Turki told prison officials in 2013 that the sex offender treatment programme “conflicts with [his] Islamic faith”, according to a letter by the then executive director of the Colorado Department of Corrections, Tom Clements.
His lawyers told the court in the same year that the program: “would require [him] to look at photos that included women in bathing suits or undergarments as part of the evaluation process”, AP reported.
That would be the Abel Screening which is supposed to test for assorted deviancies. Undergoing it would be an important prerequisite to parole or transferring Al-Turki to a Saudi prison/resort.
Al-Turki’s people have rejected it because it would mean admitting that he did something wrong, also the group would be run by a woman and there are the photos of men, women and children in swimsuits.
Al-Turki’s original defense was that he did nothing wrong, raping a woman he enslaved and paid $2 a day for work, because Islam permits such things. ISIS agrees.
Hey, what's the matter with all you cultural imperialists? Celebrate diversity!
