Woman Raped for Reading Bible

This is an Australian article, so I'm guessing that the Bible-rading Muslim woman was just 'uncovered meat' to Sheik Taj el-Dene Elhilaly. You know, she was just asking for it by reading the Bible.

Daily Telegraph:

Campbelltown District Court was told Abdul Reda Al Shawany twice sexually assaulted the woman, a practising Muslim who wears a hijab, after they met at a railway station....

He said when the woman came to Australia from the Middle East she began listening to Christian teachers and reading the Bible.

He said the woman had received threats from members of her faith for reading the Bible but had not converted to Christianity....

Al Shawany allegedly raped the woman and later allegedly said: "Let your Jesus help you."

Al Shawany denies the allegation but there is DNA evidence. Could be worse. She could have been raped in the Middle East, in which case she could be eligible for the death penalty.
