Errr PM, it was you who brought Islam into it when you said that there were less reported rapes in Islamic countries compared to western countries and then attributed your argument by saying that it was because of the way women in the West dressed provocatively.
No, it was not me, scroll up and see how the INSULTS about mullahs and indeed personal insults started pouring on me for expressing my opinion, please go back to the first page and see what someone called SPOOKZ wrote.
You were the one who started the whole argument in that women aren't innocent when they are raped because they somehow provoked the men by dressing in a manner that you deem to be provocative.
Bells, I said it before many times and I will repeat it again, I dont EXCUSE men for this horrible crime ( rape ) but I dont buy this argument that it is ALL and EXCLUSIVLY mens' fault. in many caes, it is WOMEN'S FAULT as well as men and I gave this example: YOU CANT WALK WITH A BASKET FULL OF DELICIOUS FOOD BETWEEN VERY HUNGRY PEOPLE AND THEN BLAME THEM FOR EATING YOUR FOOD, THIS IS JUST ABSURD.
I have been to Islamic countries and I was dressed conservatively out of respect for their culture and religious beliefs. I don't hate Islam, on the contrary I have many family members and friends who have either converted to Islam or are muslim by birth. I should have thought you'd have realised that by now, especially after the long and ardious debate you started in another thread in reaction to the new French laws. However, any opposition to your view, and you automatically see it as a hatred against Islam, which is unfortunate for you.
I understand that but surely you dont know anything about Islam and you tend to make general statements about it and make false assumptions like muslim woman has to provide 4 witness for the rape to be reported, this is utter BS. clearly some members here turned their hate against Islam into slander and started questiong Islam and its treatment of women.
As long as we are debating away from religion, I have no problem, but why some PATHETICS insist on pointing the finger at Islam ??
All I have been saying in this thread is that the way a woman dresses should not result in the man being blameless when he rapes her.
And I respect your opinion but it seems you cant accept nor respect mine ( you always say my argument disgusts you and yet you come again and disucss things with me, you felt sorry for women in my family without knowing who they are and who I am and how I treat my wife !!! you are really SICK person ), Please refrain from such statements that touch my family if you want me to continue discussing things with you.
I am not saying the rapist should be excused, FAR FROM IT, I said and I am repeating that for the 10th time that in some cases it is NOT only the mens' fault, it is womens' fault AS WELL...notice the word AS WELL.
Women in the West are used to the freedoms to dress as they please. You were so offended by the new French laws deeming that women could not wear the Hijab in public buildings, saying that Muslim women should be allowed to wear it if they so choose. However, you have taken a completely different view in regards to other women in other cultures.
Wait a second here, there is a big difference between FORCING muslim women NOT to be modest and allowing other women to offend other cultures
Muslim women by their hijab DONT offend anyone, since when MODESTY offend anyone ??
Why should women in the West cover up because men can't control themselves?
But who said women in the west should cover up ???????? All I am saying is that women in the west have to dress modestly if they want to avoid sexual assults, rape, violence ....etc this is my OPINION, I am not going to FORCE anyone to do that, it is my own PERSONAL opinion and you should respect it as I respect yours. this opinion is stemed from Islam and its teachings which I find to be 100% accurate.
Why you dont put your question this way, why should MEN in the west have strict control because women want to dress revealing dress ????
You see bells, you are looking at the issue from one side, the women's side.
Why don't the men have better control. PM your whole argument has been on the basis that men rape women who dress provocatively because women are showing the men something they can look at yet can't have. That same argument could be used for thieves who break into a house or store and steal any valuables there.. on the basis of your argument, these thieves could then say 'well why can't I have it? It was there and I wanted it so why not?' and they would be free from blame.
no this was not my argument, my argument was WOMEN DRESS PROVOCATIVELY in order to attract men's attention to their sexuality and arouse them without(men ) being able to have sex with them, and by doing so they( women) get a sense of satisfaction and feminism.
The example of theives apply only if you LET your house or shop open without any protection, if they break in so easily without keys then you have YOURSELF to blame AS WELL as those theives...note the word AS WELL.
Would you blame a jewellry store for displaying their wares in the store windows and they are then robbed.. would you tell the managers of this store that they shouldn't have provoked the thieves by displaying the jewels in window?
But this jewellry store can display their wares behind PROTECTED GLASS, how theives will steal them if they were DISPLAYED behind well proteced glass and strict security arrangements ??????????
How is it that they are dressed provocatively when they are completely covered by thick clothing where you can't even make out their figure or shape?
This is utter NONSENSE, can you provide evidence of rape cases in the winter equalling rape cases in the summer ??? how about cold and hot countries ???? I live in very cold country and in the summer the rape increases more than in winter, again due to DRESS CODE.
Children aren't seen to be dressed provocatively when they are raped.
When it comes to childern it stoped becoming RAPE, it turns into PEADOPHILIA, big, very big difference INDEED. I suggest you find the difference between rape and PEADOPHILIA.
