Islamic or a crime?

I visited the comments section on David Wood's bog,  not sure if it will see the light of day or not, so I'll include it in this brief update.

What I'm doing the rest of the day, lots of writing; some of it requires more research, which is frustrating, I just don't have enough info to answer all kinds of questions, but I always try my best to be honest and get my point across. I think that's more important than convincing people of  Islam or appearing to be a very learned person. I haven't studied in depth, but I have lived half my life as a Muslim which means I have a lot of personal experience and also knowledge of the basics.

I don't get why these Christian fundamentalists continually, and very aggressively run a smear campaign against Islam, when it isn't like they honestly believe that they are "telling the truth about Islam" or doing it because "we love you". I guess, its the fame or the money, or something else then.

My comment -

"Islamic"? That's not how I see it or how I would describe a crime such as rape or murder. You are as usual, deliberately inciting hatred. It is one thing to quote hadiths which are 1400 yrs. old about things which happened in another time (a very different era) and to call rape by people with Muslim names, who may or may not be Muslims, something which is "Islamic" - which implies it is okay according to Islam.

 

Rape is punishable by death in Islam. (The victims of rape or victims of sodomy are not punished, because it’s not their fault, they didn't ask for it.)

 

Many people would love that Islamic law for rape is applied. Unfortunately, most rapists get a slap on the wrist in the West and in states with similar lenient punishments to what exist in the West.
