A Muslim woman who pretended she was raped by her boyfriend, leading to his prolonged torture by a gang, because she thought he would show explicit photos of her to her devout parents has been jailed.For all of four years...
And in case you think this was just about the twisted 'honour' system, well, this bunch added their own special wrinkle:
During the kidnap, a series of 'truly terrifying' phone calls were made demanding money from his family, in which he could be heard screaming, the court heard.Charming!

Ta for link. You'd have thought she had a really great Victimhood Poker hand, but it appears not.
Once it came out she'd posed for explicit photos I'm shocked it wasn't her tortured and screaming down the phone and that she actually made it into court alive.
Standards must be slipping...
Sharia Law operating in this country. 'Victims' family mete out justice and demand money with menaces as compensation.
"You'd have thought she had a really great Victimhood Poker hand"
Think community cohesion. The unfortunate boyfriend is a Hindu.
Meanshile, the stories keep trickling out.

I was curious when on 5Live at lunchtime, the nonce was described as the owner of an "Indian takeaway". Then I heard the name - he's Bangladeshi. Or as the BBC would have it an "Asian" . Of no particular faith or culture.
Why wasn't this prosecuted as a racially aggravated crime?
I'm firmly of the opinion that the penalty for falsely accusing someone of a crime should be the same as would have been handed down had the allegation been true. In this case, slagface would have got a life sentence with a minimum tariff of about 10 years.
@Anonymous: because you can only commit a racially aggravated offence if you're white, silly. Black or asian people can't commit racially aggravated crimes as confirmed by the ludicrous recent bull about the asian kiddy fiddler ring that's been in the news recently.

Well, quite!
"Once it came out she'd posed for explicit photos I'm shocked it wasn't her tortured and screaming down the phone..."
If she does indeed turn up in a ditch a few days after her release, the police won't need to look far.

And as anon points out, why is this therefore not a racially-aggravated crime?
"I'm firmly of the opinion that the penalty for falsely accusing someone of a crime should be the same as would have been handed down had the allegation been true."
Me too!

Because, contrary to the misconceptions of many, Hindus or Muslims are not "races" ,they're followers of a particular religion .. in the same way that Catholics or Protestants are religious believers and not "races" ..
They both in fact belong to the same race, that of the Indian sub-continent ..
Thus, a European who converts to Islam remains a European ..
Nice people, are they not?
