Raped By 46 Men

I'm finding it difficult to put into words what this article makes me feel. Oddly it isn't the fact that a police officer raped her first and left her abandoned that makes me gasp. I mean ideally it should, policemen after all are ones who are to serve and protect the public. They aren't supposed to be the ones that go and rape a woman. But such an act by an individual, even if he is a police officer, isn't uncommon in the world at large. Nor is it something you would find only happening in Saudi.

However that 45 men came around at some point and raped this woman is shocking. Even in trying to comprehend this, which is difficult to do, perhaps I could say she was dumped in an area that is known for prostitution or something of that sort. That it could be that one assumed she was working the room and proceeded to take advantage of the situation. But than she would have to be conscious right? So they would have to know that she wasn't a prostitute and there is no mention of her being one nor taking money for the sex.

So if she was conscious they raped her by force knowing full well the choices they were making were victimizing this woman. However she may have been unconscious at some point, than dozens of men had to make a choice to rape a woman who wasn't even aware. With no feeling they would have to go into a room and have sex with her while she just laid there, for all they knew half dead, but would that even matter?

45 men went upon her after she was dumped, forty five close to 4 dozen men. 45 men came to one place with a sickness in their hearts and raped a woman. Not one having enough conscious to stand up and say this is wrong let me not do this and rescue the woman from being abused. A woman who came to work in this country, a woman whose family most likely sent her off in tears praying that all is right with her. That she won't be harmed, that her employers will be kind to her, pay her on time, and protect her from bad things in the world.

Yet she is to find her self raped by 46 men all starting with a police officer. Alone, in a land not of her own, helpless and being abused over and over again by men who probably have families of their own and this is what they choose to do to the woman of someone else's family. 46 and not one would have enough taqwah in his heart to help her.

Yes taqwah (God Consciousness) because if you hadn't noticed this happened in Mecca. The land in which only Muslim can go. The land in which probably not far from where she was Muslims were making umrah and calling on God at His House in prayer. Calling on Him to protect them, to bless their loved ones and keep them safe from harm. Calling on Him perhaps as her family was in Indonesia to do the same for their family member who was far from their care. All the while she is being raped over and over again by 46 men.

And if I really want to deal with the reality of this situation and what it really says about a society. If this were a Saudi woman who went out into the land of another country to study or work and was raped by 46 men there would be complete outrage and a call to chop off the heads of every single ones of those men. But don't expect the 46 men who raped an Indonesian maid here in Saudi to find such a punishment in a land that could easily give it.


ETA- News now says she isn't HIV positive personally I smell cover up on the HIV issue. But neither of which changes 46 six men chose to rape her.
