The following account is deplorable in the extreme – that the final conclusion was made by a female judge baffles belief.

Just for the record, the urge to respect perceived Islamic teachings can be taken too far.

As this utterly awful case demonstrates.

Cruelty, be it sexual or vengeful, is unacceptable in any true faith – this man was not acting out of religiosity.

It was madness.

And apparently the judge had been drinking from the same well.
