Islam prescribes method of eliminating molestation and rape
by karanti on Mar 09, 2008 04:15 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

All the major religions declare the molestation and rape of women as grave sins. Islam teaches the same. What then is the difference between Islam and the other religions? The difference lies in the fact that Islam does not merely preach respect for women, or abhor molestation and rape as serious crimes, but also gives clear guidance as to how society can eliminate such crimes.

Capital punishment for rapist
The Islamic shariah prescribes capital punishment for a convicted rapist. The non-Muslim may be horrified at such a stringent punishment in this age. Many accuse Islam of being ruthless and barbaric. I have asked a common question to hundreds of non-Muslim men. Suppose God-forbid, some one rapes your wife, your mother or your sister and you are made the judge. The rapist is brought in front of you. What punishment would you give him? All of them said, "we would put him to death." Some went to the extent of saying, "we would torture him to death", If your wife or your mother is raped you want the rapist to be put to death. But if someone else%u2019s wife or mother is raped, capital punishment is a barbaric law. Why the double standards?

But it is pretty impossible to convict a man of rape under Shariah. More often than not the poor woman is punished for being in the company of a stranger.

It's against Saudi law... of being in the company of 3rd parties. That gal wantedly went away with them...those men abused her. Here crime lies with those rapists as well against this gal. Both would be punished according to the law.
