"If I didn't know better I'd think this was a Muslim court."
In Islamic law, a woman who kills her rapist has committed a lawful act of self-defense and will not be charged with homicide. If she dies while fighting her rapist, she is considered a martyr.
This, of course, differs depending on the nation or region.
Also, some regions still have pre-Islamic laws regarding penalty for rape. A rape against a woman who "belongs" to a another man or a tribe brings the death penalty in many cases because it is a crime against the husband and or tribe.
If you read the old testament you will see similar sexist laws. The Muslims in large part still abide by those barbaric laws. Read your bible, you will find out I am right about this.
I thought there had to other male witnesses before they would believe a woman over a male.
"In cases of adultery, shari'ah resorts to particularly drastic measures. Rape creates an especially difficult burden of proof for the victim. Shari'ah law only provides for punishment in cases of adultery, if both parties admit to have committed the "crime". If this is not the case, four independent witnesses have to be found; however, the witnesses must be male. In cases of rape, shari'ah rules that a rapist is to be punished with 100 lashes, if unmarried, or with death by stoning, if married, since this would then constitute adultery.
A pregnancy as a result of rape first of all counts as evidence of adultery committed by the woman. The rape victim then has to prove that she really was raped. In case the man - which is very likely - denies that he has raped the woman, the woman has to name four male witnesses to prove the rape. In case the woman does not find these four male witnesses - which again is very likely - she will be charged with slander.
For the crime of slander, shari'ah prescribes a punishment of 80 lashes. On top of that, the woman will be charged with adultery, and is thus threatened with the death penalty, if she is married. In case, she is unmarried, the "adultery" counts as immoral behaviour and is punished with 100 lashes. This is at least what the criminal code of January 2000 of the Nigerian state Zamfara says."

Don't call yourself, "FollowerofChrist," and then cavil the OT as, "Sexist."
And don't compare Muslim theology with that of the OT saints.
We have one Bible, not two,
Unfortunately many who call themselves Christians fail to realize that God and the Bible have never changed.
Jesus is the God of the OT as well as the New.
