If this author or the Sun ever suggested that rape is never the fault of the victim, then how consistent is their thinking to blame Christians for being taken hostage?

I am sure the Sun would insist that the rapist is always at fault. To suggest otherwise means the Sun is trying to excuse rape. Well, in this piece, isn’t the Sun trying to excuse kidnapping, brutality and murder? The real problem lies in the violent culture of the Islamists, and maybe that fact is just too inconvenient for the politically correct staff and editors of the Sun.

It's not "blaming the victim" to point out that it's irresponsible to be strutting through a biker bar in a miniskirt with no underwear at 11:00 on a Friday night. It's not blaming the victim when something they do makes you wonder, "Just what in heck were they thinking?"
