That's pretty much what radical Islam does.

Yeah, well I've responded to him in a couple of places and told him to go fuck himself, too.

Wouldn't the best thing be to just use a trusted religion as our moral guide on rape???
Certainly the Religion of Peace has some helpful things to say on the matter.


Islam Wrote:Bukhari (5:59:462) - The background for the Qur'anic requirement of four witnesses to adultery. Muhammad's favorite wife, Aisha, was accused of cheating [on her polygamous husband]. Three witnesses corroborated the event, but Muhammad apparently did not want to believe it, and so established the arbitrary rule that four witnesses are required.



Rape of Muslim women is against Islamic law - although the rape of non-Muslim women is not, if they are 'captured in battle' or bought as slaves. Even the rape of a Muslim woman is almost impossible to prove under strict Islamic law (Sharia). If the man claims that the act was consensual sex, there is very little that the woman can do to refute this. Islam places the burden of avoiding sexual encounters of any sort on the woman.

Since it is incredibly unlikely that a child molester will violate his victim in front of "four trustworthy men", Islamic law amounts to a free pass for sexual predators.



I'm so glad we have the high ethical standards and divine moral teachings of ancient primitives to guide us through these difficult matters.

Anyone who did not check "the rapist" needs to have his/her moral compass adjusted.

Anyone who checked "dressing provocatively" is a fucking arsehole.

Considering who put the poll up, wording of OP and the general mood of the thread afterwards, I don't think all answers here are meant to be serious answers.

Just a "guess"

The OP doesn't look like a joke to me. And the subject is no laughing matter. So, there's that.

1. The OP clearly conflates multiple issues, making use of sarcasm.
2. Said OP kudoses distinctly unserious replies, participates with then in apparent good humor
3. People can make light of guns, rape

I'm confused by your position - clarify?
