Muslim
rape concern
Alarmed at last week’s
police statistics, which revealed that in 68% of all rapes
committed this year the perpetrator was from an ethnic minority,
leading Muslim organisations have now formed an alliance to fight
the ever-growing problem of young second and third-generation
immigrants involved in rape cases against young Danish girls.
Promising demonstrations and an information campaign, Babar Baig
from Minhaj ul Quran said that Islam totally condemns rape and the
violation of women. ‘We feel very strongly that as a Muslim
youth organisation, we have a responsibility to speak out about
this problem,’ said Baig, whose organisation, alongside the
Union of Muslim Students (FASM) and the Organisation of Pakistani
Students and Academics (OPSA) announced demonstrations in
Copenhagen, Odense and Århus.
