Islamic Law: Dutch Woman on Holiday Is Arrested After She Is Raped in Qatar - Free Laura Ban Sharia

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


In Muslim countries, rape victims are at fault. Islamic law. Any Western woman who vacations in a Muslim country risks sharia enforcement.

What is galling is that Texas public schools are accepting funding from Qatar to push Islam, sharia and Arabic.

A Free Laura campaign is gaining traction on social media.

An online campaign has been launched to free a Dutch woman in Qatar who was arrested for having sex outside of marriage after reporting that she had been raped.

Speaking to Doha News, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the woman was arrested and is expected to face charges of fornication as well as an alcohol-related offense.

She’s been identified in Dutch media as Laura.

The defendant is scheduled to appear in court on Monday. Ahead of the hearing, hundreds of people on Twitter are calling for her release under the hashtag #FreeLaura.

Note BBC’s use of the word “claim.” Sharia media.

“Dutch woman arrested in Qatar after making rape claim,” BBC, June 10, 2016:

A Dutch woman is being detained in Qatar on suspicion of adultery after she told police she had been raped.

The 22-year-old, who was on holiday, was drugged in a Doha hotel and woke up in an unfamiliar flat, where she realised she had been raped, her lawyer says.

She was arrested in March on suspicion of having sex outside of marriage. She is due to appear in court on Monday.

The alleged rapist is also being held, but says the sex had been consensual.

A Dutch foreign ministry spokeswoman said the woman, who she named as Laura, had been arrested but not yet been charged.

“We have provided assistance to her since the first day of detention. For the sake of the defendant’s case we will not make further comments at this point,” the Dutch embassy said in a statement.
‘Great horror’

The woman had gone dancing at a hotel in Doha where alcohol was allowed, “but when she returned to the table after the first sip of her drink… she felt very unwell” and realised she had been drugged, her lawyer Brian Lokollo told Dutch broadcaster NOS-Radio1.

Her next memory was waking up in an unfamiliar apartment where she “realised to her great horror that she had been raped,” Mr Lokollo added.

The woman may also be charged with an alcohol-related offence, news website Doha News reported.

It is an offence to drink alcohol or be drunk in public in Qatar, although alcohol is allowed at certain hotels and expatriates can obtain a permit for purchasing alcohol.

In 2013, a Norwegian woman in neighbouring United Arab Emirates was given a 16-month prison sentence for perjury, extramarital sex and drinking alcohol after she told police she had been raped.

She was later pardoned and allowed to return to Norway.

      Qatar is only a smidge more socially advanced than other countries in the Arab Gulf like, say, Saudi Arabia. Women in Qatar are allowed to drive and are not required to wear a hijab outside their home, but Sharia is Sharia no matter the country. Under Sharia law women will always be second class, or less, and ultimately subject to the judgment of a man. And this young woman’s trouble is only starting if she is now incarcerated there. One of my male colleagues was arrested in Qatar for his involvement in a traffic accident. While incarcerated, people from his office were forced to provide him all of his meals throughout the day. Without their support he would’ve starved because the detention facility refused to feed him. This treatment is not uncommon in Qatari jails. It boggles my mind why anyone does business in or with Qatar. They have an abysmal human rights record and an open disdain for anyone not gulf Arab, even though many Western countries try to make Qatar out to be a strong ally in the gulf region. Never mind that members of the Qatari royal family are some of the largest financial contributors to state sponsored terror. Hopefully the Dutch government will secure Laura a hasty release. She shouldn’t hope for much justice, though. That country is a wasteland. Stay out!
