Woman ordered to marry the rapist.

It's inhumane and cruel. And people wonder why there is such a dislike for Muslims and their religious beliefs. Gee, could this be the reason??? He rapes her then gets to marry her, while she has to live with it. And they call their religion "peaceful"?? Kinda makes you wonder what they would be like if they were a religion of hate!!

Did you actually read this thread or just the first sentence?

Obviously it's cruel, but radical Muslim governments aren't the only guilty party do not spell the course of all Islam. Etc. etc. just read the thread, I'm not going to repeat what has already been said.

People seem to forget that often leaders of a religion are more "orthodox", or hardline, than the mass of followers. This is true not only for Islam - look at the Catholic Church under Pope Benedict... most Catholics don't practice what the Vatican preaches...

So if the intransigence of the higher-ups in Islam makes all of Islam bad, does the intransigence of the Pope make all of Catholicism bad?

Yo cw034, read the bible lately? You might want to read my previous post.

(Deuteronomy 22:28-29)

Oh... I wish I had a 'way above' vote left for ya'. That was an
interesting find. Very thought provoking!

Yes. A man prostituting his daughter is very thought provoking.

And Islam is a "religion of peace." It's stories like these that should wake up the tulip-walking liberals to the kind of enemy we are facing everyday at home and abroad. These people are living in another century!

And don't get me started on the female genitalia mutilation that they often practice... Just plain cruel.

Agreed !!

how exactly is this a punishement. so a guy rapes a woman and she is forced to marry him, giving him now access to raper her daily under marital rights???

if anything this is punishimg the victim, but than again that happens in our courts on a daily basis too, as where a woman will be humiliated by the delfense lawyers of the rapist, and many times we still hear things like " she got what she was asking for", " it was just rough sex". or my all times favorite " boys will be boys".....
