Randy Abbas aide finds his own Ayesha
A close aide of '
moderate' '
Palestinian' President
Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen has apparently carried the 'follow the prophet' meme a little too far. According to
InLightPress (link in Arabic), the unnamed aide stands accused of raping an unnamed minor.
Challah Hu Akbar explains:
The official is a senior official who is reportedly “very close” to Mahmoud Abbas. According to the report, Palestinian officials have been trying for months to solve the issue with the family of the assaulted girl. The family has rejected all monetary offers.
InLightPress did not publish the names of the victim or the suspect.
The report says that in the upcoming reshuffling of Salam Fayyad’s government, the official under suspicion will likely be pushed out.
Unless, of course, Hamas decides it likes him.
What could go wrong?

Sweden allows display of naked pictures of Mohamed and Ayesha
In Malmo, Sweden, of all places, a court has ruled that it is legal to display
naked pictures of Mohamed and his 9-year old wife Ayesha.
Malmö district court has ruled that the poster does not fall foul of press freedom legislation and confirmed a not guilty ruling from March 3rd in favour of Carl P Herslow, leader of the Skåne Party (Skånepartiet) who faced charges of agitation against an ethnic group (hets mot folkgrupp).
The poster included the text: 'He is 53 and she is nine. Is this the kind of wedding we want to see in Skåne?'.
Herslow admitted producing the poster but contested the charges and argued to the court that the poster was intended to stimulate a debate about Islam, which he argued was incompatible with democracy and equality.
The case had been brought by the Chancellor of Justice (Justitiekanslern - JK) - the country's top legal official and responsible for prosecution of cases involving freedom of speech.
Prosecutor Bo Birgerson, representing JK, said that the distribution of the poster showed disrespect to Muslims.
The poster was seized at a public meeting held by Herslow and the party in 2010.
The Skåne Party is a small right-wing populist, anti-immigration party based in southern Sweden. The party was founded by Carl P Herslow in 1979 and was originally formed to protest the Swedish state radio and television monopoly and to advocate self-government for the province of Skåne.
The party won 17 votes in the general election in 2010, claiming 0.8 percent of the vote in its home municipality of Malmö.
Hmmm.
