Ignorance of the law is no exc...

...wait a freakin' minute...insert alt text here
"An Ottawa man has been found not guilty of sexually assaulting his wife because of his honest belief that he had the right to have intercourse with her whenever he wanted. The judge ruled the man was not guilty of sexual assault because the Crown had failed to establish that he knew his behaviour was, in fact, criminal."
Hmmm... what would "Gaza Rules" allow this man to do to someone who insulted the prophet? Or to persons of non-heterosexual persuasion?

In any case, I thought Canadian judges were bound by precedent.
"Mohamad Rafia, a Syrian refugee told a Fredericton court that he didn’t know it was a crime in Canada to beat your wife with a hockey stick for half an hour."

TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE: Shafia, Shafia...

...that sounds so familiar...

Apparently this jolly fellow got the wrong judge...liar,liar
"A Canadian-Afghan entrepreneur accused of murdering three of his teenaged daughters and his first wife denied the charge, but nonetheless insisted that what had happened was God’s will, and that the four women "deserved to die'".
Sounds like a sincere belief to me.

"Hamzeh Serhan was shot and killed in broad daylight on Caldwell Avenue on September 20, 2017. Ottawa Police say they're now looking for information on the whereabouts of 20-year-old Farah Handule."
Black Lives Matter Ottawa was apparently unavailable for comment.

RELATED2: I'm noticing a pattern here...
At least three teenagers were injured and a high school was placed in hold and secure after an altercation at a commercial plaza in Scarborough on Friday afternoon. A witness who attends the school told CP24 he had just left the high school when he saw a male on the ground with two of his friends covering a wound.

“He was yelling ‘wallahi, wallahi,’” he said. “Wallahi” means “I swear by God,” in Arabic.
An altercation, huh? After the first three people get stabbed, I think we can safely call it a knife fight.
