Bin Jabbar is trying to water down the seriousness of this sex abuse case
Dear Editor,
I refer to a letter signed with the name “Ibrahim bin Jabbar” in connection with the Muslim Imam of a mosque at Turkeyen. This Imam has been accused of homosexuality and sexually assaulting several small boys whose parents trusted him. This Imam, also, is being described by several Muslim organizations as a “Muslim Scholar.”
Bin Jabbar tries to water down the seriousness of this matter by trying to equate it with the Sharma case. He ruefully claims that the present Imam/Islamic Scholar case has been given far more prominence than the Sharma case. This statement is false.
In the Sharma case it was not homosexuality. It was not small boys who were involved. There was a protest by a group known as “Moms” featured on the front page of the newspapers. Sharma was charged, brought before the Courts, put on enormous bail, and every day the newspapers would carry his photo in connection with the case.
In the case of the Imam/Islamic Scholar, there has been nothing of the kind. This man has not been charged and brought before the courts. He has not been imprisoned. No one knows his name and the media have not published his photograph. No one knows whether the man will skip the country.
The media should immediately publish the name of the man, his whereabouts and his photo. His should be treated like the Sharma case and then there would be no double standards. By Islamic Sharia Law, the case would have been dispatched in three days.
