 The Daily Mail has published an article headlined ‘'Strict Muslim' raped four women at knifepoint to 'punish them for being on the streets at night'.

An article covering the same case appears in the London Evening Standard titled ‘Muslim raped women for being out late’.

From the Daily Mail:

“A Muslim man who raped women to 'teach them a lesson' for being on the streets at night was jailed indefinitely today because of the danger he poses to women.

“Sunny Islam, 23, who comes from a strict Muslim family, dragged his terrified victims - including a 15-year-old - from the street at knifepoint, bound and assaulted them during a two-month reign of terror.

“Judge Patricia Lees, sentencing him to a minimum of 11 years, said: 'The harm you have done to your victims is incalculable.

“”The nature and extent of these offences drives me to the conclusion that you represent an extreme and continuing danger to women, particularly those out at night.'

“Judge Lees said: 'You told her you were going to "teach her a lesson", and similar things were said to the other women.

“'Those words are a chilling indictment of your very troubling attitude towards all of these victims.

“'You seem to observe women out at night as not deserving respect or protection.

“'I have no doubt that you were out that night looking for a victim, as you were on each of these occasions.'

“Islam, who told the jury he was a practising Muslim, was convicted of seven charges of rape, one of sexual assault and one of kidnap.

"Judge Lees said: 'The fact that you have attacked these women not withstanding your background must represent your own wholly warped personality.'"

The reference to the defendant’s faith, his being a ‘strict Muslim’ and from a ‘strict Muslim family’ is somewhat similar to media reporting on cases involving Catholic priests and paedophilia, where religion is used as a pretext to suggest sexual deviance emanating from supposed repression within religious traditions. The fact that individuals committing acts of sexual violence do so in violation of religion’s law and morals is obscured by the representation of such crimes in the media as somehow linked to the perpetrators religion.

Indeed, the Judge in her verdict on Sunny Islam points to his ‘wholly warped personality’.

Luckily, some of the reader comments differentiate between the man’s horrendous crimes and his faith background:

“What's this got to do with him being a Muslim??? More like he's an evil man regardless of what religion he follows.”

- Ollie, Birmingham

“how can he be Muslim .when he starts raping women aon the streets . He is like a serial killer looking out for victims . Send him to jail.”

- pp, uk

“Wow he's religous , sounds more like he's a vile human being and should be incarserated for life.”

- Terry, Leicester

Daily Mail reporter should be ashame of him/herself to report one rape incident out of millions occuring in this country alone committed by christians. These were never report on papers as Christian repist or priest sexually asaulting children. Because the man who committed this crime is having a Muslim name the reporter wants to use that against Islam. This has nothing to do with religion at all.
We have more Christian repist in whole world than Muslims. No matter what they report against Islam, Muslims have an excellent morale in the whole world than any faith. We are proud of ourselves.

They use the description "strict Muslim" because the prophet Mohammad himself was a rapist.

Muslims refer to Muhammad as the al-Ins?n al-K?mil or perfect man. So anything Muhammad does is taken to be something Muslims should be encouraged to do.

It is pathetic journalism to give no proper explanation as to how Islam purportedly disapproves rape of non-Muslims.

This article proves is self-evident in it's lack of authority on all things Islam when it mispells Sunni as "Sunny".

The fact that the rapist is described as a 'devout Muslim' tells us that at any rate his devotion did not prevent him from committing a violent and hateful act and that when confronted with his behaviour by the police/court, he justified his behaviour on religious grounds, ie, he did it BECAUSE he is Muslim. Therefore, his devotion to islam is what inspired his actions, in his his own words 'to teach them a lesson', Islam forbids freedom for women to come and go as they please.
