| Italy: It's OK for Islamic parents to beat their children Islam in Europe: Italy: Court discriminates against Muslim girls Quote:
The Italian supreme court recently rejected an appeal by the prosecution in the case of a Moroccan girl who had been beaten by her family, her parents and her brother. The appeal was rejected on the grounds that it was for her own good and for her non-conformity with their culture, she had gone out with a friend and her life style was not accepted by her parents.
This story starts in 2003 when the parents of Fatima R. (19), a Muslim girl from Bologna, were sentenced for tying Fatima up and beating her. The court of appeals reversed the decision and this past week the supreme court confirmed it.
| I had a discussion about this very thing recently, how long do you think it will be before this becomes common anywhere Muslims settle? They protest that our laws shouldn't apply to them for religious reasons.
I think we'll see more of this.
