The Punishment for Rape in Islam and Comments on a Saudi Injustice Against an innocent Muslim Woman
This article is authored by Abul Layth with assistance of Ibn Anwar
The illegitimate Saudi regime and their cronies they label ‘Islamic judges’ have once more made fools of themselves, while contradicting the Shari’ah – not to mention make Islam & the Muslims look unjust by their illegitimate rulings. The BBC, as well as Al-Jazeera, is reporting a verdict released by the wahhabi “Islamic Courts wherein a Shi’i woman of 19 years of age (who is happily married) was gang-raped 14 times by some Saudi Sunni men. According to the report,
Seven men were found guilty of the rape and sentenced to prison terms ranging from just under a year to five years.
The woman was actually punished by the court for ‘free-mixing’ with men. What was her punishment? 200 lashes and six months in jail! Her Muslim lawyer, Br. Abdel Rahman al-Lahem told the BBC Arabic Service that the sentence was in violation of Islamic law:
“My client is the victim of this abhorrent crime. I believe her sentence contravenes the Islamic Sharia law and violates the pertinent international conventions,” he said. ((BBC story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7098480.stm ))
Br. Abdel Rahman Al-Lahem, is without a doubt, correct in his claim. Within this article we shall defend the stance forwarded by him, that Rape is punishable by death and that this woman is innocent, as well as show the idiocy of these supposed “Islamic Judges” who have defied the Shari’ah and submitted to their disgusting whims.
