Condemnable Offenses. Controlling Men

Submitted by moderate Muslim (United States), Mar 11, 2007 at 17:45

You adressed the rape of women and the witnesses. These laws are wrong, and they are not Islamic. For instance, if you have three men who witnessed a rape, and did not stop it, they should be executed. Women must be protected from these laws by people who are willing to condemn these governments.

What I am trying to say is that these laws are not Islamic, but that they were invented by modern day men who use them as control mechanisms, and this is wrong, and this should be stopped
