“Mohamed has been charged with indecent exposure twice before, but the charges were dismissed due to ‘mental deficiency.’ He was civilly committed twice in 2016.”

Ah yes, he is yet another example of the global outbreak of mental illness. Well, then, nothing to see here. Move along.

In reality, this story cannot be separated from Asad Abu Mohamed’s cultural and religious background. Sexual assault occurs in all cultures, but only in Islam does it have divine sanction. The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.” (33:59) The implication there is that if women do not cover themselves adequately with their outer garments, they may be abused, and that such abuse would be justified.

“Due to his history, the charges say, ‘the State does not believe any form of conditional release is sufficient to protect the public from [Mohamed.]'”
