A senior Muslim cleric has been condemned by police and other Muslim leaders for claiming that there is no such thing as rape within marriage.

Sheikh Maulana Abu Sayeed, president of the Islamic Sharia Council in Britain, sparked outrage when he said he believed that men who rape their wives should not be prosecuted because 'sex is part of marriage'.

He further claimed, during an interview with the blog The Samosa, that many married women who made accusations of rape were lying.

His comments have caused fury among senior police officers, who already face great difficulties in getting women to report rape - a crime that all too often goes under-reported.

'Clearly there cannot be any rape within the marriage. Maybe aggression, maybe indecent activity... Because when they got married, the understanding was that sexual intercourse was part of the marriage, so there cannot be anything against sex in marriage'

In the interview, Sheikh Sayeed said: 'Clearly there cannot be any rape within the marriage.

'Maybe aggression, maybe indecent activity... Because when they got married, the understanding was that sexual intercourse was part of the marriage, so there cannot be anything against sex in marriage.

'Of course, if it happened without her desire, that is no good, that is not desirable.'

Sheikh Sayeed also said that women who claim to have been raped by their husbands should not immediately go to the police, saying: 'Not in the beginning, unless we establish that it really happened.

'Because in most of the cases, wives... have been advised by their solicitors that one of the four reasons for which a wife can get a divorce is rape, so they are encouraged to say things like this.'

British law was changed to make rape within marriage illegal in 1991.

When asked how Muslim men who are found to have raped their wives should be punished, he replied: 'He may be disciplined, and he may be made to ask forgiveness. That should be enough.'

Dave Whatton, Chief Constable of Cheshire and spokesman on rape for the Association of Chief Police Officers, said: 'We know that the majority of rapes do not take place through strangers attacking women late at night but between acquaintances and within marriages and partnerships.

'It is a fundamental principle that sharia law should not replace the laws of the UK.

'Putting out views that rape can be dealt with in another way fundamentally undermines everything we are trying to do.'

Inayat Bunglawala, the chairman of Muslims4UK, supported the police position and said: 'Sheikh Sayeed's comments are woefully misguided and entirely inappropriate.

'Rape – whether within marriage or outside it – is an abominable act and is clearly against the law."

An Asian woman aged 23 believed to be pregnant has died after being found on fire behind a house.

West Yorkshire Police and fire crews were called to a property in Bradford at 7.15pm yesterday.

A police spokesman said the woman, who was found 'alight' and with serious burns, was pronounced dead at the scene.

'Officers are still at the scene and still trying to establish the circumstances of the incident,' said the spokesman.

Police are treating the death as suspicious and were canvassing for witnesses in the quiet cul-de-sac this morning.

A cordon sealed off around eight houses from the main street, including the terraced property where the incident is believed to have taken place.

There was little evidence of what had happened at the front of the house, where one policeman stood guard at the front door.

Three officers were seen going into and out of the house.

Neighbours said the area was usually quiet and peaceful and a close community, but some mystery surrounded the woman who died.

Aziza Kahn, who lives nearby, said she believed the woman was pregnant and lived at the property with her husband, mother-in-law and two sisters-in-law.

She said: 'We never saw her (the woman). There was a time we were quite close to that family but not now.

'We didn't know her, we never got to talk to her.

'You never saw her with her husband, never ever saw them together.

'She was a young girl, we thought she was about 17 or 18, and she was pregnant.'

Miss Kahn also said some neighbours had told her that a group of around five men were seen coming out of the house around the same time as the incident happened but said she did not see anything herself.

Another neighbour, Rahana Kosar, said she believed the woman was Asian and had been in the UK for less than a year but she rarely came out of the house.

She also said her family had had an argument with the woman's family in the past about car parking and had kept out of each other's way since then.

'I've heard she's an Asian lady and I don't think her parents are in this country,' she said.

'We're all Asians round here but she never came out the house.

'We have the excuse of taking the kids to school and everything and us woman all stand and talk a lot but that woman's not involved.

'There's only a few houses and we know exactly what's going on but we never saw her.'

Ms Kosar said she was not aware of what happened until she opened her front door to find the street filled with emergency vehicles.

She said: 'We didn't hear anything because we sit in the back room and one of the girls nearby knocked on the door and said something's happened so I opened the door was just shocked.

'There was police everywhere, there was the fire brigade and I couldn't pinpoint which house it was until someone said it was the second house and the girl there had actually died.'

Another neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said it was one of the local residents who called the emergency services to the woman's aid.

He added: 'To be honest, nobody heard any screams or anything. It's very strange, very suspicious.'

Nasreen Kahn said she returned home about 7pm last night and did not hear any commotion until she looked out of her window to see a fire engine.

She said: 'I wasn't really sure what it was about and the next thing I saw police tape up there. It was just on hearsay that we found out what happened.

'It was a bit horrible. It just seemed really weird and it wasn't right at all.

'It's made me feel weird, kind of like I don't want to be here. It's quite scary.

Britain is losing its battle against Islamic extremists... says French MP who banned the burqa

Britain is 'losing the battle against Islamic extremism' by failing to outlaw burqas, the architect of the French ban said today.

Jacques Myard, a senior member of President Nicolas Sarkozy’s ruling UMP party, said relaxed UK policies had ‘opened the door to terrorism’.

He added: ‘Allowing women to exclude themselves from society by wearing the full Islamic veil makes radicals extremely comfortable, and Britain should realise this.’

Man behind the burqa ban: Jacques Myard, a member of Nicolas Sarkozy's ruling UMP party, said relaxed UK policies have 'opened the door to terrorism'

Mr Myard made his outspoken comments to British journalists in Qatar, where he was defending his country’s recent banning of the veil at the prestigious Qatar Foundation Doha Debates, which will be broadcast by the BBC this weekend.

His comments will inflame tensions between London and Paris five years after the 7/7 London bombings, which the French have regularly blamed on lax policing.

Referring to the 2005 atrocity, which left 52 dead and hundreds injured, Mr Myard added: ‘Britain has suffered a number of high-profile failures in its fight against extremism in recent years.

‘These could have been prevented if all signs of extremism were curbed, as they are in France.’

Asked if Britain should introduce its own burqa ban, Mr Myard replied: ‘Of course - it is fundamental to ensuring that extremism is kept in check.

'There’s a good reason why London was nicknamed Londonistan - it was full of Islamic extremists. People should be learning from these mistakes.’

As chairman of the cross-party commission which spent two years investigating burqas and niqabs in France, Mr Myard’s recommendations led to a full ban being passed by Parliament earlier this month.

It has already led to terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda issuing threats against France, but the country has largely escaped the kind of atrocities which have blighted countries including Britain and the U.S. over the past decade.

In a more light-hearted snipe at his neighbours across the Channel, Mr Myard said: ‘The French have been standing up for gender equality since Joan Of Arc fought the English barbarians six hundred years ago.

‘Women should not have to wear the burqa, which by its very nature excludes them from France’s secular Republic.’

Despite his strong defence of the burqa ban in Qatar, Mr Myard lost the Doha Debate entitled ‘This House believes France is right to ban the face veil’.

He was defeated by a team of London journalists, made up of Mehdi Hassan and Nabila Ramdani, as 78 per cent of voters rejected the motion.

Some 350million people across 200 countries are expected to watch the debate when it is broadcast by channels including BBC World on Saturday and Sunday.
