Heishi, I don't believe what you are saying for a moment. For starters, you don't need four witnesses to prove you have been raped. People have been prosecuted for rape in this country. There is a procedure for medical staff and police to follow. They may not have a perfect record but they most certainly do not consistently ignore complaints.

I think you do the US Embassy a diservice here. I am a personal friend of the most recent Ambassador and so know how they try to help their citizens. In fact their citizens have often been protected from the law here which I think is wrong. One case I was told about was when a man beat his wife senseless, all bloody face, etc. The police were called by a neighbour. The Embassy got involved and somehow this man got off with it because he was an American citizen. The police were mighty angry about that.

This has nothing to do with Islam. This has to do with the laws of the land. If you were in Italy talking like tbis you would hardly say 'is this Catholicism?, welcome to Christianity!, etc.

Give me a break.
