Rape as a Weapon

Using Rape as a Weapon

Sami Zaatari

Indeed all sane human beings find the act of rape a reprehensible and heinous crime, not only do we find the act as sick, we also find it more disgusting when rape is used as a weapon, a form of punishment against the victim, indeed this may even be more disgusting than a rape for the sake of rape!

If you are a Christian, and you are reading this article then I put forward two questions for you:

-Is rape wrong?

-Is using rape as a weapon and punishment wrong?

I truly believe that the majority of you will say yes, and this brings me to my point, what if I was to tell you that these very things are in the Bible? And before you think that oh bad men raped and the Bible recorded it etc etc, I am not talking about that, I am talking about your supposed holy God who sanctioned rape as a weapon and punishment to certain women!

Before proceeding to quote the passages let me give all the credit to brother Karim of www.islamic-answers.com who came up with the Biblical passages, plus their Biblical commentaries, his articles can be found here:

http://islamic-answers.com/women_are_punished_again_with_rape_in_the_bible__

You can say that this article of mine is a simple expansion, whereas brother Karim is exposing the filthiness of the Bible, I am merely talking to the Christian and wanting to really know if you a Christian can support such madness. Here are the following passages, with thanks to brother Karim:

Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city (Zechariah 14:1-2)

The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor [is] in your houses. What mean ye [that] ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor ? saith the Lord GOD of hosts. Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of [their] tinkling ornaments [about their feet], and [their] cauls, and [their] round tires like the moon, The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, The rings, and nose jewels, The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins, The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails. And it shall come to pass, [that] instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; [and] burning instead of beauty. (Isaiah 3:14-24)

So here we have two passages where the God of the Bible is directly involved in getting women raped as a form of punishment! Now honestly, you the Christian behind the screen, do you support such filth? If you do, then I'm afraid you seriously need help, and should even go under watch by the police, because only insane people can stand by and support rape being used as a weapon! It is no good if the Christian says oh well yes this is harsh and sad bla bla bla, no, either Christians CONDEMN and APOLOGIZE and FORSAKE such filth, or you are a supporter of rape plain and simple, you don't have it two ways.

And Allah Knows Best!
