Insha Allah Peace lyrics and Islamic Law topics

#INshaAllah Peace is a song on the YT which may or may not promote peace in a way that is attractive to some but not all Muslims, also what is the real message inside the lyrics? It's hard to understand much of what is being sung, and so I couldn't tell you my opinion of it..

I never have replied to any email or comment anywhere that I believe that rape is okay, this is a topic which many non-Muslims are also speaking about, and some non-Muslims (I can recall one in the Google stream, in particular which revealed hostility and "stalker" behaviour towards herself). There aren't any women, no matter what religion or background, who believe rape is okay. For one woman to accuse another is deplorable, and for men to do it is really nasty.

I have never said that a rape victim requires four witnesses to prove rape in her case, that isn't the ruling in Islam, nor has any Muslim to my knowledge said such a thing. It's ridiculous to claim Muslims say this.
Why is it then that despite my best and honest efforts to explain some facets of Islamic rulings and laws with respect to adultery, someone either deliberately or without malice (but stupidly) believes that I would believe that a rape is equal to adultery? These are two completely different and unrelated crimes and their treatment in Islam is very different. Rape victims are never considered criminals in Islam, nor are they in any way to be punished (according to Islamic Shariah or any teachings). The criminal/s if he/they can be ascertained are definitley punished, and should be put to death according to Islamic penal code.

I hate to be misrepresented, misunderstood. It is not anyone's fault if they don't understand english, but give me the benefit of the doubt whenever something doesn't seem right. But to go on and on about crimes some Muslims do, such as wife beating or rape and then ignore all of my efforts and very clear statements doesn't reveal sincerity on the part of the person doing that. I'm sorry, I don't have time for ludicrous games or anyone's desire to self-promote his ideology or values while insulting mine, or tendency to show two faces.
