The most egregious miscarriage of justice that I’ve ever heard:

Daily Mail- A muslim who raped a 13-year-old girl he groomed on Facebook has been spared a prison sentence after a judge heard he went to an Islamic faith school where he was taught that women are worthless.

Adil Rashid, 18, claimed he was not aware that it was illegal for him to have sex with the girl because his education left him ignorant of British law.

Yesterday Judge Michael Stokes handed Rashid a suspended sentence, saying: ‘Although chronologically 18, it is quite clear from the reports that you are very naive and immature when it comes to sexual matters.’

Earlier Nottingham Crown Court heard that such crimes usually result in a four to seven-year prison sentence.

But the judge said that because Rashid was ‘passive’ and ‘lacking assertiveness’, sending him to jail might cause him ‘more damage than good’.

Rashid, from Birmingham, admitted he had sex with the girl, saying he had been ‘tempted by her’ after they met online.

They initially exchanged messages on Facebook before sending texts and chatting on the phone over a two-month period.

They then met up in Nottingham, where Rashid had booked a room at a Premier Inn.

The girl told police they stayed at the hotel for two hours and had sex after Rashid went to the bathroom and emerged wearing a condom.

Rashid then returned home and went straight to a mosque to pray. He was arrested the following week after the girl confessed what had happened to a school friend, who informed one of her teachers.

He told police he knew the girl was 13 but said he was initially reluctant to have sex before relenting after being seduced.

Does this mean that everyone who doesn't read Obamacare legislation (which includes almost everyone) doesn't have to abide by it?

I didn't know that the purpose of prison was to do 'good' for criminals. At least judge Michael Stokes has given him a goal: to become more 'mature' about 'sexual matters'.

Too bad people cannot be put to death for being stupid! If I was that girls father I would kill the rapist and the judge.

In a just world, the parents of the girl would get away with murder, because he's a Muslim.

If the sheepdip needs sex education, a prison term would have been just the thing to get him up to speed. From what I've heard though, if he was raised Muslim he's already been covered on that end.

Uh, yea. Smart enough to get on the internet and troll young girls but not smart enough to understand right and wrong and control his jungle urges.

Does anyone go to Russia and pretend not to understand Russian laws? I didn't think so. Those that try don't come home.

I guess that judge thinks girls are "worthless" too. When did ignorance of the law become a defense?

agree....so as long as you act passive in court and say you didn't know it was illegal then you should be good with anything right??

Where were the girl's father and mother? How did a 13 year old get into hotel room without their knowing it? Or did they care?

Remember, Trayvon Martin would often stay out all night because his parents/step parent were off partying too..

As the father of four in which 2 are girls, he would have not had to worry about the judge or the possibility of jail.

Other dads know where I'm coming from.

Ignorance of the law is not a valid defense. The judge is an idiot. He just gave Muslims the tool they need to do whatever crime against women they desire. Sorry, judge....I didn't know.

So let me see if I can paraphrase Judge Michael Stoke's argument - "Because you commited a crime that no decent human being would ever commit, you must by definition have psychological problems and are therefore a victim and should not be punished".

Judge Michael Stokes needs to be punished for negligance and public endangerment.

The judge held the girl responsible for luring the man (18 is a man) into the illegal act. War on Women or should I say War on Little Girls

The British judicial system is becoming a joke; I remember when there used to be "Ignorantia juris non excusat".

The Judge says he was "naive and immature when it comes to sexual matters"

A Birmingham resident and user of social media and digital technology??? naive? ...LOL

I doubt that another religion would be given the same privilege.

The judge also stated that because the perputrator was "passive and lacking in assertiveness, prison would do him more harm than good". What an jackass! This dirtbag apparantly thinks the purpose of the crimminal courts is to determine what's best for the crimminal, not what's best for society or the victims.

This ruling sets a dangerous precedent. This will become known as the 'Naivety' exemption and will be used by plaintiff lawyers, making it easy to defend those who lure young girls online for the purpose of sex.

Evidently this young girl was willing, but she was too young to legally give consent. Both she and the young man knew they were committing a crime. The judge just gave them both a pass.

I hate to say it, but I don't think liberal parents would care that their daughter got seduced by a predator. After all, he did use a condom, did't he?

If he was unwilling to have sex until she "seduced" him, why were they meeting at a hotel? This judge needs to be imprisoned alongside this young man.

The libs better wake up, especially those with young daughters because they are moooslim bate. And I don't want to hear a single lib parent whine about it either. Their children deserve the best protection and with the # of single parents and the easy online access and cell phones....well I'm going to stop there
