Rape victims are often accused of adultery under Sharia law if they report being raped by married Muslim men. Here is a shocking example: A 13-year-old girl in Somalia was raped by an adult Muslim man. Instead of punishing him, an Islamic Sharia court sentenced her to death because her married rapist claimed she had “seduced” him by appearing in public. The court agreed and convicted her of adultery. Hundreds of Muslim men gathered to stone her to death as an offering to Allah. They laughed, cheered, and shouted “Allahu Akbar” as she screamed in agony until her last breath. Not one man stepped forward to save the 13-year-old rape victim. Everyone in the village heard her cries for help before the execution. Instead of intervening, they tied her hands behind her back and chained her feet. The local imam directed men to dig a hole and bury her up to her waist so she could not move or dodge the stones aimed at her head. For hours before and during the stoning, she begged for mercy, looking toward her neighbors, her father, and every Muslim man taking part. Until her final breath, she cried out, but no one rescued her. Of the hundreds of men present, none showed compassion. The participants gladly joined this Islamic act of worship, ignoring her pleas and rejoicing with “Allahu Akbar” while brutally killing her. Here is one news report about this horrific incident: nbcnews.com/id/wbna27484976
