Please first watch this video, where Zakir Naik is telling that a girl is herself responsible for her rape if she comes out of her home without completely covering her body with Islamic Hijab.
But what about slave girls?
Islam forced them not to wear the Hijab, and even kept their breasts naked in public. Even if any slave girl by mistake wore Hijab, then Umar Ibn Khattab used to hit her with a stick, and he removed her Hijab, and told her not to resemble FREE Muslim women by wearing the Hijab.
So, what if men raped those half naked slave girls? Who is then responsible for rape in this case?
Men, who raped them?
Or Islam, which forced them to go half naked in public?
The hypocrisy is undeniable. Islam blames free women for “tempting” men if they don’t cover their entire body with Islamic Hijab, but it deliberately denied slave women the very same “protection.” If the Hijab is really supposed to prevent rape, then why were slave girls forbidden from it?
In truth, the guilt does not lie on the shoulders of the victims, neither on the free women nor the enslaved ones. The true burden lies on a system of Islam that legalized slavery, enforced nakedness, and then excused men’s crimes.
