In some documented cases, rape victims have been flogged for being a "participant" in their sexual assault.

In July, Bangladesh's High Court outlawed punishments handed down by religious edict, or fatwa, following a series of public interest litigation cases lodged by local human rights groups.

In one of the most notorious cases, a 16-year-old girl who was raped was given 101 lashes in January for conceiving during the assault.

The girl’s father was also fined and was told that the family would be branded outcasts from their village if he did not pay. The 20-year-old rapist was pardoned.

Comments: Sadistic Islamic sharia once again. No wonder that Islamic terrorists are also sadistic in their wanton killing of innocent civilians. The same Islam - just different aspects.

Numerous examples such as these show that the problems and violence in the Muslim community aren't due to issues unrelated to Islam. They have everything to with Islam. It is this Islam that is causing all these problems and terrorism.
