Okay..
Firstly, you don't quite seem to grasp that we have a Western legal system openly advocating racial purity and and handing down verdicts that are, to the core, racist.
Secondly, we have gone beyond 'racial purity' in this case. Do you know why? Because racial purity were generally a social phenomenon - in that the pressure is applied by the family and/or community of the couple. What we have here is legally sanctioned racial purity, stepping dangerously close to completely banning sexual relations between Jews and non-Jews. What we have here is a court sanctioning and and finding for racial purity and the result is a jail sentence for a man who actually did not rape anyone.
Now, you have claimed that this is apparently fairly common or, more to the point, not uncommon. You have not been able to substantiate your claims.
What is not uncommon is a court finding that someone has raped another because they were of a particular race. And finding that if they were of another race, it would not have been rape. Especially for a Western court. That is what you're not quite grasping here. The system that allows this verdict to stand is severely flawed, and also dangerous, as it sets very dangerous precedents.
I don't want to assault your intellect Geoff, but when you simply shrug your shoulders and say 'this isn't that uncommon', when it is quite uncommon (especially in light of the verdict in a non-religious court in a Western court system).. then yeah, I am going to ask if you understand the gravity of this case.
