Hey Gals, Check This Out I: Aussie Police Told to Convince Keep Battered Muslim Women to Stay With Their Abusers
The Left has always had a problem balancing their devotion to cultural sensitivity with the primitive brutality of many of the cultures they seek to be sensitive about. Now we've reached a point where political correctness means convincing battered women to stay with their abusers:
Police are being advised to treat Muslim domestic violence cases differently out of respect for Islamic traditions and habits. Officers are also being urged to work with Muslim leaders, who will try to keep the families together. Women's groups are concerned the politically correct policing could give comfort to wife bashers and keep their victims in a cycle of violence....
Police are told: "In incidents such as domestic violence, police need to have an understanding of the traditions, ways of life and habits of Muslims." They are told it would be appreciated in cases of domestic violence if police consult the local Muslim religious leader who will work against "fragmenting the family unit".
Respect for Islam apparently includes sensitivity for wife beaters.
