the intersting part is religion never mentioned. but if someone named Ahmad did it, religion will be blamed. in Islam women are treated with respect except with a few.

Muslim countries have the most rapes.They are not reported because you have to have 4 witnesses to be believed.So women and children are raped and keep quiet out of fear.

In the west the women rights are governed by the Constitution and not the religion. USA is a secular state, where church and state are two separate entities, and when the element of spirituality is absence from a society rapes and beatings are the common occurrences . Islam on the other hand teaches the spirituality and the the laws for the women rights are set in the Holy Quran. People do break laws everywhere, but in the absence of fear of God the laws are broken more often in the west.

These things happen in each culture. The difference with the US is that we have a culture that (generally) speaks out against these injustices. Not all cultures have an environment conducive to a woman being able to step up and speak out when she has been victimized. They simply must take it and live with it--it won't make news headlines, they will not by any means find a support group, it's just not talked about. I think the fact that these issues CAN BE discussed here means that we're making progress, though the fact they're still talked about at all is just sad.

First it happens all over the world. It just gets more press here because we have a great freedom.
Second, It does not make it right for any reason to beat or rape a woman no matter what your believes.

Oh yes, total respect. If forcing the Burka on them, or stoning them, or transferring the burden of proof on the women after a rape. Oh yes, treat them as second class citizens, deny education and make them share a husband. Wow - real respect!

The opportunity to rape is more available in free countries, where women move freely in public. In conservative societies women often hide the fact that they were raped, because society tends to accuse raped women of misbehavior.

More commone everywhere, as the god of this world takes more and more control over his dominion it will only escalate. But he will be put in his rightful place soon enough. As THE KING COMES THROUGH THE GATE AND ENTERS INTO HIS KINGDOM AND FINISHES HIM.

If Africans had as many computers as the U.S. it would be a "common happening" there more so. No, Islamic women are not treated with respect, where did you come up with this, a Muslim?

As long as they wear a sack over their heads or stay in the house.
