    Re: There IS a punishment for rape in Islam
    there is no such thing a rape in islam. there is sex within and outside marriage. girls who get raoed need 4 witnesses to prove rape, since her statement is worth only half a man's statement. can she not provide this she gets punished, for sex outside marriage as well as shaming the family. within marriage a man does not need permission to **** his wifes.

    First of all, everyone needs to know that there is currently no country in the world with full Sharia Law in place. So if there is any Muslim majority country that lets rapists go free, then it obviously doesn't have Islamic Law implemented.



    People really need to learn this before accusing Islam of such a thing.
    There is no ' one size fits all' sharia law. there is no such thing as 'full' sharia law. its law based on the koran therefore open to intepretation

    24:4 says that someone who falsely accuses a women gets 80 lashes.. I don't know what you're trying to point out with the third one.

    Not in the Quran, a Hadith.

    Narrated Wa'il ibn Hujr:

    "When a woman went out in the time of the Prophet PBUH 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 PBUH.

    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 her: Go away, for Allah has forgiven you. But he told the man some good words (AbuDawud said: meaning the man who was seized), and of the man who had 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."

    so it does not mean anything, since anyone can make a hadith.

    Can we not just accept that the western worlds treats the women as sexual toy, 10th class citizen or worse.

    That's why the two most dangerous countries in the world for women are Afghanistan and Pakistan? Somehow, I don't imagine Paris to be as nasty as Kabul or Lahore. Enjoy your child brides, paedophilia, sex trafficking, marital rapes, genital mutilations, stonings and lashings. :rofl:

    "And those who accuse chaste women and then do not produce four witnesses - lash them with eighty lashes and do not accept from them testimony ever after. And those are the defiantly disobedient..."

    You misunderstood it. If someone accuses a woman of adultery, and does not produce four witnesses, they get 80 lashes. Understand?

    This shows you know nothing about Hadith. There is a whole science behind it, you can't just "make up a Hadith".

    obviously u misunderstood it. if a woman gets raped and reports this, the man can sue her for false statement, and she gets 80 lahes. ( stoning if she is married). this is also the law in many muslim countries. wonderful idology.

    "And those (the person who accuses) who accuse chaste women and then do not produce four witnesses (ie they accuse but don't give four witnesses) - lash them (the one who accuses) with eighty lashes and do not accept from them testimony ever after. And those are the defiantly disobedient..."

    THOSE (the person who accuses) has to produce FOUR WITNESSES to PROVE that the woman committed adultery. If they (the accuser) can't, then they (the accuser) are given lashes.

    Yes I agree, they are based on Islam. But they are not taken straight out of the Qu'ran. They are written by and implemented by human beings. Who are idiots.

    As I said, no country has Sharia fully implemented, so if you're saying that in Islam you have to marry the rapist, give me references from Islamic sources.
    Oh dear, have you absolutely no sense of humour? This was an attempt to lighten the mood of this thread.
