The following has been retyped with some minor grammatical changes.
It was reported in a local paper in Rochdale (A town of northwest
England,
north-northeast of Manchester) of a young woman who was raped down in a
small dark alley.
On a separate evening around the same time, a young Muslim woman
walking
home from college. Aware that it was getting dark fast, she wanted to
get
home as soon as possible so her mother would not be worried about her
being
outside alone at night.
The young Muslim girl faced a dilemma. To take the short cut down the
same
alleyway to avoid getting home after dark, or to take the longer route
and
have her mother worrying herself sick about her daughters safety.
Conscious
of the time, she takes the alleyway. While the girl is walking down the
alley, she sees a rather sinister (threatening evil), a dark figure of
a man
walking towards her from the other end. As her pace quickens, she
begins to
read Ayat-ul-kursi for her safety. On passing the man, he makes eye
contact
but carries on walking.
When the young Muslim girl reaches home she tells her family about the
incident and they advise her to contact the local police after having
read
the newspaper article sometime before. When she contacts the police,
they
ask her to give a physical description of the man. It matches the
description the rape victim had given.
Some days later, the young Muslim girl receives a phone call from the
police
asking her if she would come down to the police station to identify the
man
in a line up. Both the rape victim and the Muslim girl pick out the
same
man. The police are confused; they ask the rapist why he attacked one
girl
and not the other. In reference to the Muslim he girl, he replies "Why
would
I attack her when she was walking with two huge men on either side of
her?"
