Do Muslim women feel that they would have nobody to blame but themselves if they were ALONE with a man (who is not a close relative) without a burka and were raped?

No, we don't. Islam literally says to kill the rapist and that there is no blame on the woman. The whole "four persons" thing is about a man who accuses his wife of adultery. Rape isn't adultery as sane and thinking people know. That's why this law was changed in Pakistan. The two verses I'm speaking of are below.
"When a woman went out in the time of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) for prayer, a man attacked her and overpowered (raped) her. She shouted and he went off, and when a man came by, she said: That (man) did such and such to me. And when a company of the Emigrants came by, she said: That man did such and such to me. They went and seized the man whom they thought had had intercourse with her and brought him to her.
She said: Yes, this is he. Then they brought him to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him). When he (the Prophet) was about to pass sentence, the man who (actually) had assaulted her stood up and said: Apostle of Allah, I am the man who did it to her.
He (the Prophet) said to the woman: Go away, for Allah has forgiven you. And about the man who had intercourse with her, he said: Stone him to death.
He also said: He has repented to such an extent that if the people of Medina had repented similarly, it would have been accepted from them. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 38, Number 4366)"
[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!

I don't have a direct answer to your question, but I thought that it was interesting.
A note to "sherzade", I don't think the question was meant to offend islamic women. In the "west", we consider rape to be the rapist's fault and not the victim's. I think many of us find it ludicrous that a woman could be blamed for her rape. This question just edges deeper into understanding the mentality behind the blaming of the woman and if she, too, believes that she is at fault, due solely to the fact that she is a believer of Islam.
No harm meant.

I published some thing like this in the past, the place the 17 12 months old woman grow to be stoned to death and that they confirmed the entire element on video. First they stripped her then approximately 50 adult males stoned her and her family members set her up. She wasnt muslim yet she dated a muslim boy and the religion grow to be against it so she died. you won't be able to alter those beasts. ninety 9.9999 % of the time, if some thing happens to the girls, it grow to be the womans fault. Thats how that's over there.

Doesn't matter if she's wearing a burka or not, if she's raped without at least 4 witnesses (like that's gonna happen), she's guilty. Actually, muslim women aren't suppose to be alone with a man that's not a relative anyway.

it has nothing to do with religion at all as there are some women who feel that it's there fault that they got raped while most don't blame themselves for the rape but instead blame the person who raped them

no, the woman who got raped is the victim, and the one who attacked them is the criminal. here is God explaning in this verse about forcing women to do an evil act.
[33] ........ And force not your maids to prostitution, if they desire chastity, in order that you may make a gain in the (perishable) goods of this worldly life. But if anyone compels them (to prostitution), then after such compulsion, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful (to those women, i.e. He will forgive them because they have been forced to do this evil action unwillingly).
Quran 24:33

Of course not. Rapist scum is rapist scum. In the US a person can rape several women and he will go to jail for awhile then be released to commit his crimes again. In countries practicing law properly in the "Islamic World", a rapist is executed.
Which legal system protects women and penalizes rapists more?

It is never the woman's fault when she is raped. Not in Islam and not anywhere else. She did not commit the crime the man did.

I'm under the impression they would blame the evil tempter that made their visage irresistible. So that wouldn't be the woman or the man.
