I've seen some non muslims come up with the argument that in Islam, a raped woman must have four witnesses in order to be believed. That's not true at all. Propagandists warped that completely. Four witnesses is talking about adultery. I will post the verses that basically say that if a man accuses his wife of adultery and can't provide four honest witnesses, he is to be flogged with 80 stripes. I will then post the hadith that says a man who rapes a woman is to be stoned to death and the woman is to live her life as she normally would. Please tell me why you think the culture allowed this injustice to women. What do you think of the men who intentionally twisted this to let each other get away with rape and then murdering their victims?
[024:004] And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses (to support their allegations),- flog them with eighty stripes; and reject their evidence ever after: for such men are wicked transgressors;-
[024:013] Why did they not bring four witnesses to prove it? When they have not brought the witnesses, such men, in the sight of God, (stand forth) themselves as liars!
