But when a woman is raped in Kosovo, in the Balkans, she is not only a victim. She can become an outcast. Joining us now from Sacramento is Parvin Darabi, the author of the book "Rage Against the Veil." Explain to us among Muslim Kosovar women what is the problem as far as saying, "Look, I jus t got violated. It was a terrible crime committed against me. " Why can't that happen as it does happen in the West? PARVIN DARABI, DR. HOMA DARABI FOUNDATION: Well, the problem comes from the Arab and Islamic tradition or culture that, if a woman gets raped, it is her fault because she provoked it or she was somehow involved in this. O'REILLY: But that can't possibly be the mindset in Kosovo where everyone knows the Serb army was in charge in brutalizing the people. How could anyone think that? DARABI: Well, the thing is that the woman should have killed herself before she got raped because rape is considered the violation of the man's honor, man's dignity, man's socialist standing, and man's moral standing. Everything with the man has to do -- is linked to the woman's vagina, and that... O'REILLY: But sure -- OK, but surely -- surely any clear-thinking human being would know it's not the woman's fault if soldiers drag her away. Surely they would know that. DARABI: Well -- but this is also in the Islamic tradition. A woman that gets raped should commit suicide, and if she doesn't commit suicide, then she values her own life above the honor of the family. O'REILLY: So, Ms. Darabi, you're saying to me that women are expected to commit suicide if they are raped by... DARABI: Exactly. Exactly. It is -- it's the worst thing that can happen. This -- because a woman -- like, for instance, if a woman gets cancer, then that is something done to her alone, and she dies. But when she gets raped, she has done something to the whole family, to the family honor, to the family dignity, to the family socialist standing, and so on and so forth. So, if she can then commit suicide, then she would wash this shame off with her blood, and then the family can restore their dignity. O'REILLY: Are you -- are you telling me that in the world today that this is the predominant thinking in Muslim countries all over the world? DARABI: All over the world in Muslim countries, this is the way things are. O'REILLY: Ugh. DARABI: Women should protect their vagina in a... O'REILLY: Until the death. DARABI: Until the death... IMMEDIATE ACTIONS REQUESTED: (As always, be FIRM but POLITE. Hostile comments can and will be used to harm the image of the Muslim community and of Islam.) Contact Bill O'Reilly, the program's host, to ask that the record be set straight. REMEMBER - The guest made the remarks, not Mr. O'Reilly. Request that a knowledgeable guest appear on his program to outline the real Islamic viewpoint on this sensitive issue. Bill O'Reilly The O'Reilly Factor URL: http://www.foxnews.com/oreilly/ E-MAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] COPY TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] FAX: 212-301-4223 TALKING POINTS: 1. Rape is a traumatic occurrence for individuals and families in any faith or culture. Attitudes described by the guest occur in spite of Islam, not because of it. 2. Islam specifically prohibits suicide. 3. Nowhere in Islam can a victim be blamed for a crime. 4. The guest was obviously using this sensitive issue to promote her book and to carry out a personal vendetta against Islam. WHO IS PARVIN DARABI? (Please DO NOT try to contact Ms. Darabi directly. From her writings it is clear she is not about to change her opinions.) A sample of the material from her foundation's home page: "ISLAM & PROPHET MOHAMMED" "Koran which most Moslems call it Prophet Mohammed's only miracle was written by Osman sixty years following the death of the Prophet. Therefore, the Holly book of Koran is nothing but a collection of 'I heard him say.' All my life I was told that Mohammed who was illiterate went to a mountain and when he came out he had written Koran. Researching this incredible miracle I realized that it was the biggest lie ever told." ...at age fifty-eight the great Prophet, the defender of women's rights raped a nine year old child... "...Then he married anywhere between 29 to 45 more women... "...For centuries the Mullah's opposed the translation of Koran in any other language. They said that Arabic was the language of God, and Koran must be read in Arabic. The reason was to hide the truth..." ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ( Melanggan ?
