What is the punishment for rape under Islamic law?

The punishment for the rape of a Muslim woman under Islamic law is death - to the woman. Sentence is executed, usually, by the woman's relatives.

In order to accuse the assailant, she must secure the testimony of (I think) four men. After which, she will probably be stoned to death anyway.

There are no punishments for the rape of a non Muslim woman, as this is considered perfectly acceptable behavior.

The lines at rape crisis centers in Islamic countries are not long.

"A week ago it became public, thanks to "de Telegraaf", that the citydistrict Westerpark knowingly tried to cover up the group-rape "not to cause public unrest". And while the citydistrict made sure that the "convicted" rapists were being helped by professionals, the girl and her fosterparents were "sort of" neglected. "

The rapists were being "helped." Sheesh. There are no words.....
