so elixa tell me if this is true, when muslim women get raped, are they not blamed for it. _Are they sometimes forced to get married to the rapist?
Absoluetly rubbish. If a Muslim women gets raped, they would try to find the rapist and proper legal proceedings would take place. The rapist would get a severe punishment. The women is innocent. They are never forced to marry the rapist. I dont know where u got this from, but whoever said it are wrong and if someone has done this, its is considered a sin, and of bad character. To force someone to marry a rapist is against Islamic teachings.
We do our best to take precautions against rape, however God forbid should it happen, its not the womens fault, and all the Muslims i know would give her support, shelter if needed, conselling, medical help etc. I know there are many uneducated people out there, but that is in many cultures and places around the world.
I dont judge a religon by its people, but rather by its scriptures.
