...there is no evidence that the gang rape and humiliation of the girl in this story was based on the teachings of Islam.

Islam is explicit on the lower status and treatment of women. Islamic culture sanctions "honor" punishment and killing of women. There have been several threads here on this happening in Pakistan, which is an Islamic State with Islamic "Sharia" laws.

Then surely you'll have no trouble finding a passage or two in the Koran that explicitly authorizes the rape of women. Again, my supper's getting cold; please hurry.
