As I wrote about here. From "Iraqi Confession TV Series Captured Iraqi Terrorist Ramzi Hashem Abed: Zarqawi Participated in the Plot to Assassinate Baqer Al-Hakim," in MEMRI, with thanks to Jay:
The following are excerpts from the interrogation of captured Iraqi terrorist Ramzi Hashem Abed, which aired on Al-Fayhaa TV on August 12 and Al-Iraqiya TV on August 7, 2005."(To view this clip, visit http://memritv.org/search.asp?ACT=S9&P1=813.)...Interrogator: "There were operations of kidnapping and rape, carried out by the squad you belong to?"
Abed: "Yes."
Interrogator: "Tell me how many rape and kidnapping operations were carried out. My information says that the kidnapped women were university students or daughters of famous people. You raped them and got money for it, and if they were not slaughtered afterwards.... Did this really happen?"
Abed: "Yes, it did."
Interrogator: "Who would carry out these operations?"
Abed: "Abu Sajjad."
Interrogator: "Your superior?"
Abed: "Yes."
[...]
Interrogator: "Is this Jihad – raping women? Is this Jihad?"
Abed: "It is because they collaborated with the Americans."
Interrogator: "That's why they were raped?"
Abed: "Yes."
Interrogator: "A student who is simply going to her university is kidnapped, raped, and then slaughtered?! This was an American collaborator?!"
Abed: "Mullah Al-Raikan would give the names to the squad commander."
Interrogator: "My information says that they were kidnapped and brought to Mullah Al-Raikan's headquarters. True or false?"
Abed: "He would interrogate them."
Interrogator: "Were they raped after the interrogation?"
Abed: "Yes. He would give them to the squad, and they would kill them. Some would rape them."
Interrogator: "You bastards. This is Jihad? You call this Jihad? "
Interrogator 2: "What was your role in these operations?"
Abed: "I would stand at the entrance to the headquarters. It was a house, and they would bring them there."
Interrogator 2: "Did you participate in the rape and murder?"
Abed: "No. Just one who worked for the PUK. She was a Kurd."
Interrogator: "In the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan?"
Abed: "Yes. We brought her too."
Interrogator: "And you raped her?"
Abed: "Yes."

Can't wait for those virgins in Allah's heaven I guess.

Can't wait for those virgins (or raisins) I guess. Or maybe they were trying to get virgins both here on earth as well as in Allah's heaven.

If the Mullah says it's ok, they can rape, pillage and kill and it's justified because the authority on Allah's book says so. Religion of peace? My ass.

"You bastards. This is Jihad? You call this Jihad?"
-- from the article above
Note the assumption. Nothing wrong with Jihad to spread Islam. But raping college girls should not be dignified with the noble name of "Jihad." Not quite as comforting a message for Infidels as one might think -- but of course Infidels are not the intended audience.

What about the rape jihad going on in Stockholm and Malmo in Sweden! Rape is a part of Islam and what Islam teaches.

Muslim Rape Epidemic in Sweden and Norway - Authorities Look the Other Way

The Norwegian Government - Covering Up Immigrant Rapes

Rape: Nothing to do with Islam?
It is true that mass rapes of "the enemy's women", in part to humiliate the enemy's men, is not unique to Islam. It has been done at times of war by the Vikings, the Mongols, the Germans and the Russians during WW2, and all the way up to the Balkans in the 1990s. That's also my point. The number of rapes committed by Muslim immigrants in Western nations are so extremely high that it is difficult to view them only as random acts of individuals. It resembles warfare. This happens in most Western European countries, as well as in other infidels countries such as India. In Bradford, England, Channel 4 pulled a documentary about Pakistani and other Muslim men sexually abusing white English girls, some as young as 11. Writer Theodore Dalrymple thinks that "thanks to their cultural inheritance, (Muslim) abuse of women is systematic rather than unsystematic as it is with the whites and blacks." In France, grotesque reports about systematic gang rapes of French or "too Western" Muslim girls keep coming in. At the same time, European jails are getting filled up with Muslims imprisoned for robberies and all kinds of violent crimes, and Muslims bomb European civilians. You can see the mainstream media are struggling to make sense of all of this. That's because they can't, or don't want to, see the obvious: This is exactly how an invading army would behave. Rape, pillage and bomb.
I disagree that this has nothing to do with Islam. Muhammad himself had forced sex (rape) with several of his slave girls/concubines. This is perfectly allowed, both in the sunna and in the Koran. If you postulate that many of the Muslims in Europe view themselves as a conquering army and that European women are simply war booty, it all makes perfect sense and is in full accordance with Islamic law. And Muslims do follow their medieval religious laws, even today.

As a woman I simply can't see how sexual desire can be related to power structures, terror, cruelty, or pure hatred. The cold, bloodless emotions that fuel these rapists seem completely contradictory with the emotions of human bonding to me. But then, I'm just a woman.
Allah says "What the hell do you know?"
And Allah knows best.

A cautionary set of circumstances -- systematic rape occurs wherever Muslims go. Period.

Just another sickening story about the complete and total obliteration of morality in the wonderful world of Islam.
A society should be measured by how it treats it's women. Barbarism one side, the side of inequality, and civilization on the other - full equality.

Religious Rape
"According to Islamic lay the killing of a virgin woman is prohibited. This reflects the objectification of women. In prison, if a virgin woman is to be executed, she is first "married" (raped) by one of the guards before execution. Afterwards the guard goes to the woman's family and declares that he is their son-in-law. It is totally distinct from the process of obtaining confession or to humiliate the prisoner. The prison guards are simply obeying Islamic law.
Thousands of young women are executed in Iranian prisons, most of them are raped under Islamic law."

Rape as mentioned in previous posts has been a tool of war since time immemorial. However, of all the major or minor world religions today, only Islam gives a religious sanction to this most grievous crime. Rape goes hand in hand with Jihad and Dhimitude and always has been. A peaceful Dhimmi was always under the threat of some Muslim coming forward with an accusation of blasphemy resulting in his murder and the gang rape of his wife and children. Millions of women are raped by Muslims each and every year. Whither the victim is that of Jihad in Sudan, Nigeria, Indonesia, Pakistan, Russia, or exploited gulf guest workers forced into sexual slavery, or a local Dhimmi female abducted and raped, makes no difference. Also, let’s not forget the millions of boys and young men victimized in all the Islamic countries each year. To many Muslims, such boys are the choicest mounts as the Poet Abu Nawas was found of calling them. I have several recordings made by the victims of Islamic clergy abuse.
I wish that every Western woman infatuated with a Muslim man would recognize the fact that she is viewed as nothing more than a sperm depository by the overwhelming majority of Muslim men. Muslims enjoy sleeping with “infidel whores” so they could feel both the pleasure of mounting them and the satisfaction that they have humiliated the infidels by taking their women as concubines.

I think one of the root problems here, as with so much in Islam, is the fact that Muslim men have such an enormous inferiority complex. They are abusive, mysoginistic, and repressive of "their" women, because they know that "their" women would abandon them if they did not fear death and torture.

How can any person,even one brought up in the brain washing ideology if islam, think that it can be in anyway alright to rape someone.
I found myself shaking my head in puzzlement as I did every day when I lived in the middle east.
We really do have to fight against this mindset and root it out of our world if any decency is to continue.
I don't want my children and grandchildren brought up in such evil.
