Here's a lesson on Muslim respect of black Muslim women:

"Each of us was raped by between three and six men….One woman refused to have sex with them, so they split her head into pieces with an axe in front of us."

This happened in Darfur, from which Sudanese military personnel actually airlifted women to Khartoum to serve as sex slaves ... the targets are black African Muslims whose Islamic bona fides don't satisfy Khartoum. from Frontpagemag

Rape is part of Islamic teachings. The Islamic legal manual 'Umdat al-Salik, which carries the endorsement of Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, stipulates: "When a child or a woman is taken captive, they become slaves by the fact of capture, and the woman's previous marriage is immediately annulled." Why? So that they are free to become the concubines of their captors. The Qur'an permits Muslim men to have intercourse with their wives and their slave girls: "Forbidden to you are ... married women, except those whom you own as slaves" (Sura 4:23-24). Thanks to Robert Spencer for supplying the reference.

But Bernie, you may say, this isn't peculiar to Muslims. What about all those Catholic priests who use the cloak of Christianity to molest children?
First of all the molestation does not involve torture and usually a gang of priests don't get together and forcibly tie down their victim. Second, it is not sanctioned or encouraged by the Church. If it was legal and proper they would not have covered up their shame.

In Islam it is not only not shameful it is encouraged:

An Islamic mufti in Copenhagen, Shahid Mehdi, has sparked political outcry from the left-wing Unity List and right-wing Danish People's Party, after stating in a televised interview that women who do not wear headscarves are "asking for rape." More from The Copenhagen Post - 24.09.2004

But politicians in Europe are vilified and called racists and Islamophobes if they speak the truth about Muslim men and rape:

Derogatory comments about Muslims have brought Louise Frevert, the Danish People's Party's Copenhagen candidate for mayor, under the close scrutiny of party leadership and police alike. Last week, Frevert was reported to the police for posting derogatory comments on Muslims on her website. A number of articles stated that young Muslim men, even if they were born in Denmark and spoke Danish, harboured fundamental attitudes that were incompatible with Danish society.
'Whatever happens, they feel it's their right to rape Danish girls and stamp out Danish citizens,' the article stated. 'Our laws forbid us to kill our enemies in public, so our only remedy is to fill our prisons with these criminals.' Rest of story: washington post
