Obligatory Daily Fail alert!

Now, obviously the Daily Mail have put their sensationalist anti-Muslim spin on things, but can that seriously be used as a defence? 'They weren't used to drinking, so...'
Religion really shouldn't get in the way of things in the courtroom. It doesn't (or shouldn't) hold up as an excuse.
Muslim girl gang who kicked young woman in the head while yelling 'kill the white ****' escape jail after judge hears 'they weren't used to drinking because of their religion'
A gang of Muslim girls who repeatedly kicked a young woman in the head walked free from court after a judge heard they were 'not used to being drunk' because of their religion.
The group screamed 'kill the white ****' while kicks raining in on 22-year-old Rhea Page as she lay motionless on the ground, the court heard.
The attackers - three sisters and their cousin - were told by a judge that normally they would have been sent to jail.
However, he handed the girls - all Somalian Muslims - suspended sentences after hearing that they were not used to alcohol because their religion does not allow it.
