"Islam is the official religion of the Maldives and open practice of any other religion is forbidden and liable to prosecution." -- Wikipedia (link)

That explains a lot.

Remember, we have to be tolerant and supportive of Islam.
We don't want to be accused of "Islamophobia" now do we?

Sssshhh, sssshhhh, sssshhhh... Islam is a tolerant, progressive religion.

She's actually quite lucky. They stone some women for doing that under some Islamic regimes.

Islam largely does not even recognise rape either - it considers that almost all rape victims have consented to sex being forced on them. Look up 'zina'.

Behold! Islam, the religion of Peace.

There goes your Muslim. Different mountain, different God.

I don't consider myself a 'critic' of Islam per se. I just call bulls**t when I see it. Islamic countries tend to have their fair share of it.

I don't understand why you are all so quick to hate on the entire religion of Islam, when a lot of Islamic practitioners in more progressive countries have modernized their beliefs, and left behind the sick, traditional Islamic beliefs. It's disrespectful- and incorrect- to assume that all Muslims believe in oppression and violence.

Reprehensible of the country to allow this and so sad for that girl and others like her.

Blatant lies. This is an isolated incident which has nothing to do with Islam whatsoever. Seriously, moderators need to step in and do something about this endless stream of Islamophobic posts on WP.

Now, will everyone please focus on *serious women's rights* issues like the objectification of women caused by advertisements of scantily clad ladies and gender-specific LEGO brick commercials...

Abrahamic religion. All of them are only tolerable to the extent that they've been tamed by secular liberal ideas.

I agree. It's vile filth.

I still have visions of the appalling video circulated online, produced by Al-Shabab in Somalia. They tie a teenage girl up, stick her in a pit, and then stone her to death. And it's all on video complete with Islamic scripture playing in the background.

My jaw has just dropped.

You're a twisted, sick man.

Way to go and make light of a horrific gang rape.

Wow, read the rest of the post...

The fact that people lose their senses over that (as you just have) ... when events like this are happening in the world, is what is hilarious.
Not some dumbass teenage kids having sex after drinking too much.

The rape incident is irrelevant. The punishment is for her confession to having "consensual sex" with another man (not the rapist). Still barbaric, but the title misled me (as usual).
