Yes, alleged rapists are Muslim, but so was the victim.

Delhi's apparently the rape capital of the world - 572 reported this year, and allegedly many cases don't go reported because of shame to the family.

This involved a young woman raped ('allegedly' according to those in charge) by a bus driver and six men. She wound up on life support.

Protestors want tougher sentences for rape.

A member of the ruling political party says 90% of all rape allegations are false and involve consensual sex.

Really? Look at the following stats:

There were 1,439 rapes in Chicago in 2009.

There were 1,036 rapes in New York City in 2010.

It seems that the problem here is the attitude of the authorities regarding rape.

From what I can find, this rape was horribly brutal, but rape is extremely common and rarely punished.

Most of the stories are about public response to the actions and and attitudes of the authorities, although a quick hanging of the seven perps would apparently stem the protests.

My question about Islam may have been premature, in this case.

Apparently this is ongoing since Dec 17.
