When a severely battered woman escaped to a hospital with horrific injuries, the police quickly arrested her refugee husband. However, as soon as he appeared before the judge, he was captured smiling sadistically before shamelessly uttering 6 appalling words to the court.

As the endless sea of Muslim migrants continues to sweep across the West, gracious hosts are discovering what we’ve warned all along. The asylum seekers they’ve claimed were fleeing to our shores for acceptance and freedom are actually spreading the same tyranny that plagues their own countries. Unfortunately, it’s taking hearing the unabashed justification of brutality straight from the mouths of these so-called refugees to finally remove the blinders and muzzle of political correctness.

When Syrian Muslim refugee Mohamad Rafia, 54, fled to Canada, he brought his wife Raghda Aldndal along with him. This is exceptionally rare, as 72 percent of asylum seekers are men, proving that many are leaving their women and children behind. Although Rafia refused to leave his wife behind in Syria, authorities discovered that he had also smuggled in barbaric beliefs.

The Telegraph Journal reports that after confessing to beating his wife with a hockey stick for at least half an hour, Rafia shamelessly told the court that he isn’t guilty of any crime because he “was not aware of the law” or that it forbade wife beating.

“He’s saying that he was not aware of the law and he was coming from a background where the laws are completely different,” interpreter Abdelhaq Hamza said for Rafia during a May 24 bail hearing. “Why didn’t they explain the law when we first came?” Rafia said.

Rafia’s defense is that he is innocent and the immigration officials are at fault because they allegedly didn’t inform him that it’s illegal to beat one’s wife in Canada. As outrageous as the claim is on its own, Rafia’s defense quickly crumbled after it was uncovered that he was, in fact, educated on Canadian laws specifically regarding domestic violence.

Perhaps the most disturbing detail of the case is that Aldndal not only defended her husband but wife beating as well. She told officials that she covered up her husband’s abuse because it is “culturally accepted” in Syria.

“Aldndal stated that being assaulted by her spouse is culturally accepted from the country they are from,” the Fredericton brief police stated.

Aldndal testified that Rafia often beat her and that on May 18 he threatened to kill her if she ever left him, Crown prosecutor Claude Hache said. Rafia was only arrested after a family friend took Aldndal to Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital which reported her injuries. Aldndal initially tried to cover for her husband, claiming that the injuries were from falling in the bathtub.

Hoping to receive a light sentence, Rafia pleaded guilty to causing bodily harm and uttering threats. Of course, he contradicts his plea by maintaining his innocence through placing the blame on immigration officials.

Unfortunately, the police brief falsely claims that all domestic abuse is illegal in Syria and that “if the aggressor is caught, they will go to jail.” This statement is misleading. While domestic violence without just cause is punishable, violence against women by family patriarchs for disobedience or defiance is undeniably justified in Sharia law and offenders often go unpunished. In fact, women have trouble getting divorces from abusive husbands as Sharia courts typically force them to reconcile.

By Islam’s standards, Rafia is a good Muslim husband and was merely fulfilling the Quran’s command to beat his disobedient wife.

Quran (4:334) – Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband’s] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance – [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.

Just to make sure that “strike them” wasn’t misinterpreted to mean something ridiculously figurative, the prophet Muhammad modeled the correct meaning by beating his favorite child bride, Aisha, when she disobeyed him.

Sahih Muslim (4:2127) – Narrated Aisha: He struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: “Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?”

As long as we allow this violence to enter our midst, we will continue to enable it to fester.
