The problem for women is that burden of proof is quite high.

LOL.... and there's the problem!

If they are unlucky enough to not have the required number of witmnees that for the criteris for sharis court, they will be the ones who may face the charges and the penalty for adultery.

Or in the case of Saudi where they import sex slaves "maids" from places like Indonesia, Sri Lanka and the Philippines and take away their passports, their rights and their dignity.... where their "employers" are able to beat them, molest them, and rape them with impunity, and where the "mistress" of the house is unable/unwilling to act as she is a mere "woman", and her only course of action to seeing her husband screw the "maid" is to take out her frustrations on the innocent slave and give her beatings to go with her husbands rape.

Saudi, a proud nation run on islamic law where if your maid tries to run away because of your treatment, you can simply accuse her of "theft" and she conveniently ends up at "chop chop square" after Friday prayers...

Sure it's a problem. But those same problems exist in other societies as well.

Why don't they exist in the West? It has nothing to do with "Christian" values (which were ignored, if you know anything about 19th century adultery laws), but because WOMEN demanded rights.

As for sex slaves, this is not confined to Saudi Arabia. Do you know which country is the biggest trafficking point for East European sex slaves? Israel. Because they have no laws against prostitution. Including forced prostitution.

There are sex slaves throughout Europe (run by Albanian and Russian gangs), in Canada and the US (run by Russians and Chinese gangs), throughout Asia, know, and even in Africa (mostly Russian gangs).

I'm not suggesting Middle Eastern countries are great places to live. Just that the demonization appearing here is inaccurate.
