Islamic laws and Conduct against rape and prostitution

Dear Friend,

Islamic laws, conducts, and beliefs are against rape, prostitution and illegal sexual acts. Someone named not acting upon his rituals is not called a Moslem, just as we can not call a Christian who does these acts as a real Christian. So when using terms you should be very careful in this case "Islamist Rapist". You have to use words having its correct meaning or else you are encouraging Moslems to do these unright actions without noticing your intention.

Thanks for your attention.

Daniel Pipes replies:

I am surely not encouraging anyone to anything in drawing attention to this crime. What I am doing is, starting with "Islamists - not who they say they are," to document the malpractices of Islamists, seemingly so pious but really quite something else.
