10-Year-Old Raped by Mullah; Family Considers Killing Her to Restore Their Honor

Re: 10-Year-Old Raped by Mullah; Family Considers Killing Her to Restore Their Honor

I am not challenging your knowledge about the rest of theworld cause I dont know, but in USA, its consider one of he hideous crime, and has extremely serious consequences. If you add a minor in the equation, then the punishment is even more serious. Any and every sexual act where one party is minor, is considered a sexual assault of that minor, even if that minor had a consent in that act.

Re: 10-Year-Old Raped by Mullah; Family Considers Killing Her to Restore Their Honor

Yes it is considered a heinous crime and not only in US but everywhere.

Again: My statement was what it is and it is based on the fact that sever punishment is not common for the rapists even outside SE Asia and that does include US.

TLK bhai, have you ever read the stats on rape and… lets talk about specifically about USA.

If I made any error I will take back but I believe I DID NOT.

Please read at your convenience.

Every single word which was presented in my post is true. :khumar:

Ok chalo maan liya that you are right. So just because USA is handling this crime properly, then its ok for us too, not to take it seriously.

Re: 10-Year-Old Raped by Mullah; Family Considers Killing Her to Restore Their Honor

I never said that.

If you recall I said it is a very serious matter. Anyone would condemn it. No brainer.

The event in question as I wrote earlier was not even an issue where this crime was taken lightly. The idiot was caught.

Trolling began and continued in bashing the religion. When it was not even part of the equation.

Anyways:

Eid Mubarak to ALL. Have fun. :slight_smile:

Re: 10-Year-Old Raped by Mullah; Family Considers Killing Her to Restore Their Honor

Once a rape case reaches the courts, almost 60 per cent of defendants are convicted – a rate higher than some other violent attacks.
Rape conviction rate figures ‘misleading’ - Telegraph

you cannot compare the justice system here vs what happens in S.asia or Africa.
there is a huge difference in how rape victims are treated here vs those countries.

Re: 10-Year-Old Raped by Mullah; Family Considers Killing Her to Restore Their Honor

I’m not sure if you guys are even on the same page. Everyone seems to be talking about the something different. :bummer:

I’ve read quite a few articles about case in the original article posted by the OP of this thread and @diwana is correct. The degenerate mullah in that particular case never mentioned religion and did not use religion to justify his heinous act. Religion is not mentioned at all in the case. The pervert’s “defense” was that “she asked for it” and that it was “consensual.” While such a defense is utterly repugnant, it does not involve religion.

However, in the general sense, religion is most certainly misinterpreted, both willfully and out of ignorance, in some parts of Afghanistan. I don’t know about anyone else in this thread, but I have been to some of the tribal areas in Afghanistan (not Kunduz, where this case took place, but other areas which are very similar) and I have observed that some people have a very distorted view Islam. With some people, this is out of ignorance because they cannot read the Quran for themselves and they have been misguided by mullahs with extremist leanings. In other cases, such as with the Taliban, people twist religion to suit their own purposes. Whatever the case, the distortion of Islam is definitely there. Here are some of the “gems” I’ve heard from people in such regions:

  • Divorce is haram.
  • The Quran discourages education of women.
  • Women have no right to inheritance in Islam.
  • Islam allows honour killings as long as the transgression is verified by 3 witnesses.

Frankly, if those travesties are not a grave misunderstanding of Islam, I don’t know what is.

Re: 10-Year-Old Raped by Mullah; Family Considers Killing Her to Restore Their Honor

There was no comparison made by me between SE Asia and Outside SE Asia. Read my post again.

It is not even possible to compare the stats since stats from SE Asia or Afghanistan is not really known.
**
I simply presented low figure of conviction even when there is no religion is in to play or any related threat is present.**

You are citing the article from a UK Baroness who made her own research, which does not represent National database.
UK Govt. did take some of her proposals seriously though.

I did not present 6% conviction rate which this article is refuting.

You are presenting the conviction rate when it was reported.

The low percentage often quoted is based on the rate of crime versus rate of conviction, hence the conviction rate will be lower than what would be from rate of crime versus formally ‘reported’ cases.

I did not talk about UK altogether.

The site I posted is from USA.

Re: 10-Year-Old Raped by Mullah; Family Considers Killing Her to Restore Their Honor

I was think the same thing before I read ur post. I wondered - of the reported cases , what is the conviction rate?

Thank you for digging under the hood. But I did warn u earlier - don’t confuse us with facts.

Re: 10-Year-Old Raped by Mullah; Family Considers Killing Her to Restore Their Honor

Agree with your post. Thanks.


Talking in general again and not related to this thread:

I would use the word misquoting Islam, rather than misunderstanding islam.

Misunderstanding or misuse words which i have been opposing from beginning mean that,… there is something in islam which could be used for wrong purpose. Not really.

Misquoting Islam is like bringing islam, when there is nothing at all in it, which could be used to commit a crime.

Hope I was clear enough. :slight_smile:
