Recently a a man was acquitted by the Swedish court for assaulting his wife because the lay judges argued that since both victim and perpetrator were Muslim, the violence should not be handled by the court but by the family - and that the man came from a better family than the woman. The woman was deemed "not trustworthy" because she went to the police rather than to the family. Do you feel that the increasing prevalence of Muslim values in Swedish society is a threat the the safety and civil rights of women?
