All over the world, non-Muslim, including those who are in positions of power, assume that if Muslims would only adhere to the true teachings of Islam, then there would be peace and harmony between Muslim and non-Muslim communities, and behavior such as what is described in this story would disappear.

Unfortunately, that is an unrealistic assumption. The behavior here of Mohammed Chotka, Mohammed Badka, and Mohammed Nazim has solid Qur’anic sanction, and at least some Muslim rapists know this: one survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK said that her rapists would quote Quran to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam.

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.
