This is not at all unique to Islam. You are hearing about it in Muslim-majority countries right now, but this is largely coincidental. What is talked of here is the horrible underbelly of humanity. Every culture on Earth has done it, and the only reason most are not doing it right at this minute is simply because they aren't getting the opportunity. It's the ancient practice of raping the women of your enemy.Hang on. Haven't you been paying attention to our own disturbing rape statistics? One third of the women serving in the US military are sexually victimized by members of their own teams. How's that for recognizing sides and religious finger pointing. Explain to me how we can take the moral high ground when we have so many sexual predators wearing US uniforms and treating female service members as playthings or worse? Don't even get me started on civilian statistics. Why does this occur? My guess is its related to gender disparity and attitudes. It's easier to turn on people you already hold in lower regard. Attitude adjustment is key, as is recognizing that every single one of us, no matter what sex, color, language, etc. has their own thoughts, dreams and talents not to mention feelings.
