There was a story on the news about this Muslim girl who was raped...?

Question

Her rapist was found and shot in the head. But the brothers of the young girl killed her. They said that she dishonored her family. The one brother said that after a woman is raped she is like a broken glass.

Is this a traditional Islamic practice or belief? How is it the innocent girls fault?

Why does so much of the punishments and rewards for Islamic fundamentalists revolve around sex?

I don't know of any other religion so obsessed with sex. They do this they will have 77 virgins when they die. Women have to cover their entire bodies in case a man get an sexual thought- again the woman is punished for the mans lack of control. They use the idea of future sex as some reward but in the here and now its wrong. WHY?

Answer 1

Christianity's punishments and rewards revolve around sex, too. That's why priests and nuns are considered somehow better because of their celibacy. It is also the religious motive behind the teaching of "abstinence only" in schools.

The real reason behind religion's attempt to control sex is because it is a great way to gain and keep converts. You can't really control having sexual feelings. So, if you can convince someone that sexual thoughts are bad, you can instill guilt in them. They'll more readily fill the pews and empty their pockets.

Also in this practice is the old carry-over belief that women are basically property. That's religious people, including Christians and Muslims, consider non-virgin women as used goods. It has only been in the last 100 years that women have finally been given more of an equal status in the world, including the right to vote. Some countries are still trying to catch up. Unfortunately, religion tends to retard such efforts. Even in the United States, women with careers are looked down upon by religious people who, because of their religious indoctrination, think that women should be barefoot and pregnant.

Answer 2

I've thought the same thing too :/ Radical Muslims are so sex obsessed, they treat women like sex objects. They see rape victims as deserving because of the way they dress, conduct themselves etc. In Malaysia, Islamic radicals tried to pass a law to have at least four male witness as proof of rape but failed, thankfully. And that is just one of many, many stupid ideas from Islamic radicals. Others include not allowing beautiful women to work in the office as they will distract men and also one minister saying if you can't fight the rape, just lie back and enjoy it! I mean, how ****** up is that?? The Muslims dont even think its a big deal.

I've also discussed issues like this with some of them, and its appalling how some of them think that women are only good for sex. It is their greatest ambition to have four wives, but when asked how would they like it if the tables are turned they said it is not the same thing, the woman should always follow the man. And the thing is, the women did not see anything wrong with all these! They actually think that it is beneficial for unmarried women/widows to become a prostitute to married men. They call it something else but its basically the same thing. The woman will not be considered a wife because the man will not support her financially but she will have to give pleasure to the man, apparently to satisfy HER urges since she couldn't find herself a husband. I dunno, maybe its a cultural thing?? And, most of them think that their moral values are far superior than the Westerners, go figure.

Answer 3

I also saw a news item where a Muslim woman is trying hard to change the "old traditional laws.". There are many things in other countries that hit us in the gut, but there are also people in that country feel the same way and are doing the best they can to change it.

Of course, the girl was not at fault at all. In North America we tell the victim that it "wasn't your fault." so you could say we have the opposite "moral laws". Then again, we also have a very high rate of rapes and murder and I wonder what the people in the East think of North America, when they see "gut wrenching" things happening on this side of the world..

Answer 4

I have heard many stories like this....although one story is enough!! Yes it is traditional practice in some parts of the world (although I dont know if its strictly an "Islamic" practice). And thats just it! Its NOT the girl's fault!! Apparently they believe a girls virginity is more sacred than the girls life itself.............scary isnt it?

Answer 5

bismillaah (interior the call of Allaah, God Almighty) The judicial circumstances are between the main debatable subjects that one love communicate and on the comparable line the main argumentative subjects needed by using media to manage with. in actuality, each and every guy or woman kicks the choose out, sits in his place, devoid of getting to understand any subject approximately regulation, faith, subculture ...and so forth, brings his own gadget and recites his judgment devoid of forgetting to sue each and every physique however the sufferer. I doubt if maximum of people who commented study the piece of information because of the fact the link did no longer artwork (the BBC one does artwork wonderful). some could learn it yet, like numerous one else consisting of me, they are not independent or it is so puzzling to be so. it variety of feels the lady complained on the subject of the rape and the choose asked her "What have you ever been doing there?". She then has to confess that she grew to become into in enterprise with those adult men. right here in KSA, it is fooling around, it truly is, no longer in straightforward terms legally yet even culturally, no longer properly-known. It grew to become into no longer honest to no longer punish her considering that she did an unlawful subject. by using ways, the different photograph that anti-Islamic-regulation human beings do unlike conversing approximately (right here a minimal of) is that the adult men' necks are below the sword. She would not have tempted them by using being with them, for us right here whilst a woman is going around by myself with such adult men, normally she is extra susceptible to settle for different issues. All this could be a guessing. regardless of if, the choose is there no longer on Yahoo. yet another subject is that some human beings from over there (u . s . a .) tries to describe Hijab as an oppression. study the statistics down there! They coach Muslim women human beings that she could be ‘liberated’ in accordance to their gadget and in a while they do no longer elect her to be uncovered to such risks. If we take Hijab off, human beings will think of it is u . s . a . no longer KSA. to remedy your individual situation, be conscious Islamic rules! ========= study the whole direct information from the final 2 hyperlinks!

Answer 6

That's not an Islamic belief. That's a particular cultural belief, of a certain group of people who only HAPPEN to be muslim.

Answer 7

Well in Islam virginity is important for both men and women until marriage. Because if you have sex before marriage then you are throwing your gift for your wife or husband away and you are just like the animals. Plus it is bad for society as a whole as well as yourself. Muslim men won't marry girls who are not virgins at marriage. In Islam the girl has to prove she was raped by going to a doctor and getting a rape kit done. But no honor killings are not Islamic and are haraam. In Islam the rapist is the one who is killed not the rape victim unless the victim's parents choose to forgive the rapist and then he pays them blood money for tarnishing the girl. Extra marital sex is also haraam. Even if you do Zina then the person who did Zina is stoned to death and has to produce 4 male witnesses if she lies and says she was raped. But no it is not the girl's fault unless she was outside alone without a mahram(husband, father, sons or brothers) because ALLAH(SWT) has stated that women can not travel or go out alone without their male guardian to protect them and because women are more likely to fall into temptation then men are and more likely to commit Zina. They are also more likely to be harmed because women can't protect themselves from men who want to rape them or kill them and ALLAH(SWT) knows best.

Answer 8

this is not traditional islamic belief. i heard a lot of story such as that, mostly in the arabic region but nothing such as that in Asia.
more revolve around sex because lust is also one of sin.

Answer 9

Sex is taboo in many religious societies.


It's a horrid belief I know little about.

Answer 10

No muslims may have a group that does that, and they ARE not ignorant people.
