  • Deuteronomy 22:28-29: If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.

    And Christians think they're so superior...

  • @walidb123 Not sure but I believe this could be the passage in the holy bible you are looking for Deuteronomy 22:28-29

  • Nuke their country.

  • Well what the fuck do you expect from goat-fucking desert savages??

    And yes, invading a shithole like that would work if it were done properly and with the intention of dragging their uncivilized asses into the 21st century whether they like it or not.

  • @AsamiFujihara23 youre a dumbass. this video ist nuthing but propaganda. rape is ILLEGAL, and so is sex without being married. so tell me how can be rape legal? dont search islam in countries, youll never find it. there ist also the "forced marriage" in countries like afghanistan. do u really think this is allowed in islam?! NEVER ! but thats what they do there.

    if you want to know something bout islam then search in the quran not in afghanistan oder iran.

  • @scottandrewhutchins that was that culture's way of punishing the rapist, and the girl would have never been able to marry anyone else in those days, so he would have to support her. also some think that the original text was referring to all premarital sex, not rape. it is still unclear

  • So in Islam, rape is perfectly legal. Dumbass bastards.

  • Perfect reason why we don't need religion in this world anymore.

  • you are so wrong about the sharriah law, but Afghanistan is not following the sharriah law and it never has for 100 years or so, Islam does not abuse woman but some muslim do specially some case in afghansitan but the way forward is the learn the true teaching of Quran and way of Prophet Mohammed peace be upon him, Sharriah Law is like the 10 commandments from God Almighty

  • syariah law is old and obsolete, electricity's been invented already for heavens sake

  • @Lobos222 I am not stupid idiot

    I am full aware of the propaganda machine

    and I am fully aware of your shit kinds of filthy hypocrites who KNOW the truth but hide hoping people dont notice

    that Raped woman actually was an adulterrer. she was with a man naked , then a gang saw them and raped her.

    so it is 2 cases in one RAPE and Fornication. she was sentenced for the fornication you bastard not for being RAPED

    same when a thief steals and another steal him both are criminals
