It seems a video of an attempt to gang rape Coptic Christian
girl/s by a mob of Egyptian Muslims is being banded around. I have not watched
the video and have no intention of doing so. I did notice it on a fundamentalist
Christian missionary blog (a blog that hates Islam) so I did a little digging.
I’ve read about it and from what I can gather it’s an old
video (from 2009). The motive of these men has been said to have been to
retaliate against an alleged rape of a Muslim woman by a Coptic Christian man –
however maybe just pure sexual perversion took hold of them. According to the
descriptions the men were chanting ‘Allahuakbar’ – this does not make sense as
rape is not allowed in Islam (see fatwa below). There are no excuses nor are
there any justifications for such assaults. Allah knows best what has happened.
Islamophobes Insensitively Using the Sexual Assault
At the end of the day our thoughts should be with the
victims. Sadly some anti-Muslim folk are taking the assaults as a rod to
tarnish all Muslims and Islam. Islam does not allow rape.
It’s really sad to see people using the sexual assault of
others to further their agendas of demonizing Muslims and furthering the hatred
against Muslims. It shows the shallow state of these people.
May Allah help the victims of rape around the world. Ameen.
Rape in Islam: Islam is Against Rape
“The Arabic word ightisaab refers to taking something
wrongfully by force. It is now used exclusively to refer to transgression
against the honour of women by force (rape).
This is an abhorrent crime that is forbidden in all
religions and in the minds of all wise people and those who are possessed of
sound human nature.”

Statistics regarding assault rapists:
ReplyDeleteThe Oslo Police District has given a report of rapes in Oslo in 2010. The report shows that for all types of rape, except assault rape, European perpetrators are in the majority, and they are mostly Norwegian. Assault rapes covers only five identified unique person. These have all a foreign origin. The number is however, so low that it does not provide a basis for drawing conclusions with regard to country of origin. Two of them were very young (under 18) and two had severe psychiatric diagnoses and cannot be regarded as representative of their ethnic culture. It is highlighted in the report that generalizations like “Oslo’s rapists are foreigners”, which have been seen in media, are wrong. The report gives no statistics regarding religion of rapists.”

Where is the evidence that the raper was a Muslim? Let's not grant the Christian that assumption, since not everyone who claims to be a Muslim is a Muslim.
