Germany: The Insanity Of Multiculturalism

Ain't multiculturalism great? You might think this case was tried in the notorious 9th District in the U.S. This story from Der Spiegel is chilling.

A judge in Germany has effectively ruled that a man can beat his wife, applying sharia law to a divorce case. The lunacy of relativism and multiculturalism continues to rear its ugly head in Europe. Don't laugh too hard: There are plenty of lunatic judges in the U.S. who would advocate this, too. The case seems simply too strange to be true. A 26-year-old mother of two wanted to free herself from what had become a miserable and abusive marriage. The police had even been called to their apartment to separate the two -- both of Moroccan origin -- after her husband got violent in May 2006. The husband was forced to move out, but the terror continued: Even after they separated, the spurned husband threatened to kill his wife.

The judge rejected the application for a speedy divorce by referring to a passage in the Koran that some have controversially interpreted to mean that a husband can beat his wife. It's a supposed right which is the subject of intense debate among Muslim scholars and clerics alike."The exercise of the right to castigate does not fulfill the hardship criteria as defined by Paragraph 1565 (of German federal law)," the daily Frankfurter Rundschau quoted the judge's letter as saying. It must be taken into account, the judge argued, that both man and wife have Moroccan backgrounds. "The husband can beat his wife" "The right to castigate means for me: the husband can beat his wife," Becker-Rojczyk said, interpreting the judge's verdict. FULL STORY at DER SPIEGEL... RELATED:
