I agree. I know there have been cases of babies being raped, but still, why they would do such a horrible thing is beyond me.

Personally I think it's either a definite psychological problem or just plain cowardice. Maybe even a combination of the two.

but even though i have been raped as an adult..it trips me the fuck out how anyone could want to violate a baby..thats just like no comprende...overpower a baby?

@MobHeataEnt but shouldn't Islam be Guiding them Islam is an eye for an eye realign your all Pagans moon worshippers evil so evil.

@Markel1970A Yea but that has nothing to do with Islam; that's their stupid culture.

@Markel1970A No, that's incorrect. This isn't religious based, this is cultural. Almost all the wives of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) were not virgins. Almost all of them were widows or divorce'. It is part of the Islamic tradition to marry women who are widowed/divorced (to take care of them). Like I said this is cultural. I am Afghan and I know this for a fact.

In the Moslem world rape is a taboo. Women would have to kill themselves to clean their family's honor.

@villanneyomi No, im not attracted to my mother; you incestuous asshole!! However, your mother on the other hand......

[villanneyomi]

@MyNegatron have you tried raping your mother or sister

[MyNegatron]

Rape is for those with TRUE POWER!! Fuck the World; RAPE WHOEVER YOU WANT ITS CALLED FREEDOM. HE WITH THE POWER SHALL WIELD IT!!!!

This is what happens when you let Mongol bastards rule freely thanks to the weak goverment, the taliban knew them well and treated them as sub humans.

Before the afgh invasion when the taliban was ruling, if you even thought the idea of stealing or raping or anything close to that they would put you down like a dog.

At least when the taliban was around there was security and no warlords doing shit like this.
