A woman is being executed for killing a man who was trying to rape her. I don't get it. She was protecting her honor as a Muslim woman. I'm sure most women would do the same; I know that I would. The family of the man (who was going to rape the woman) refuses to forgive the woman and is pushing for the execution date. Everyone in the community is begging the family to forgive the woman. Excuse me; but I think that the mans family should be embarrassed not angry. My question would be to them "'what if it was your sister''? I'm really angry about this subject; What do you sister think about this one? Oh yeah, the woman has 3 children |

Assalamu Alaikum,
I totally agree and am equally outraged. The woman was acting in self- defense. PERIOD!! To me, attempting to rape someone is the same as attempting to murder someone. When a woman is protectinng herself in fear of rape she is also defending herself from not only rape, but also battery, and possible murder after the rape is complete. How often to rapists end up killing their victims? If I was being raped, I'd be defending myself as if someone were trying to kill me. This type of defense is totally permissable. Yes, i totally think the man's family would be whistling a different tune if it was their daughter or sister, mother, aunt, etc., who was raped. If it was proven that the man was trying to rape her, then she had every right to defend herself. The man could have stopped at any time. J.R. |

Thank you for that sister JR, I feel so helpless for not being to help her. Alot of men involved, but the family is pushing for death and want it soon.I also agree with what you said about rape and murder.

This is not right, not the right way at all! Muslims have a big problem with following the "Sharia Law" point by point, so literal they have forgotten that as muslims we are responsible for making decisions with reason. The judge has to hold the man responsible for his actions or she will be unjustly punished! I think that people have a horrible way of messing things up, this is an example, this is a country governed by Sharia Law? May |

This is a country goverened by a "Royal Family" not religious law. This is a horrible sad case. And where is her family and her brothers and father? This just teaches a woman that if something like this happens to her, she had better keep her mouth shut because no one is going to help her at all............... It it amazing the abuse suffered by women at the hand of men.
