Well, now I have seen everything. This one takes the cake for ridiculous accommodation to Islam. Mohammed Anwar was caught driving 64mph in a 30mph zone. Fast enough to automatically lose his license. In Scotland the law applies equally to all, well except to Muslims with more than one wife. From the Daily Mail.
But yesterday one motorist offered what must be a unique reason why he should keep his licence.
Mohammed Anwar said a ban would make it difficult to commute between his two wives and fulfil his matrimonial duties.
His lawyer told a Scottish court the Muslim restaurant owner has one wife in Motherwell and another in Glasgow – he is allowed up to four under his religion – and sleeps with them on alternate nights.
Crazier than this excuse is the fact that the Sheriff actually accepted this excuse and let him off with a fine and points. Is any further proof needed to establish that the European culture has lost its will to live?
I wonder how the excuse “I am sorry officer, I was speeding to get to church!” would fly in Saudi Arabia. Oh, yeah. They won’t allow any churches in Saudi Arabia.
We are all doomed…doomed I say.

Shouldn’t they have arrested the guy for polygamy?

Mike, that would be islamophobic.

“Shouldn’t they have arrested the guy for polygamy”
Would hardly seem fair! I mean if he were your average 20something who was hip and part of the hook-up culture – alternating which girls he hooked up with on which nights… Well we would just call him an average uni student. (OK, not all college kids are such Casanovas, you do get the idea…)
Sad when it has become the case that this sounds more respectable than what westerners are doing!
