Let's cut the cr@p.....how many religious wars are really going on the the world today? Amish? Mennonites? Quakers? Mormons? Do you see where I am going here? There is an elephant in the room and nobody wants to acknowledge it!

Cold, hard statistics:

And this goes beyond mere religion, it is part of their culture:

Land, Gold and Women (Rape in Pakistan)

[snip]

Mukhtar was warned that if she could not prove the rape allegation by providing four male witnesses, she herself could be put in jail for adultery. She was baffled.

But this is the key problem in Pakistani law: both rape and adultery fall under the crime of Zina, meaning illicit sexual relations.

"This has to stop. Rape is rape and adultery is adultery. They're not the same thing," Mai says.

The Pakistani religious laws regarding rape and adultery are called the Hudood Ordinances.

"According to General Zia's law, if a woman is raped she needs four eyewitnesses to prove that she was raped," Bhutto says. "But if she files a complaint of rape and fails to produce four eye witnesses then she has confessed to adultery and must be punished for the crime of adultery. Now this is a highly iniquitous law. Islam says men and women are equal. Islam speaks about justice, Islam does not speak about doubly penalizing a woman who has been subjected to a horrendous rape crime."
