Wonder why the Gulf and some other Muslim countries are terrified of women and turn that fear into unjustified abuse that they heap on them.
Many is the report of a woman being raped, complaining to the authorities and getting accused of adultery (a serious crime in those places) for that trouble. Here is one recent report: Paola Schietekat, a 28-year-old Mexican Muslim woman, who worked for a company responsible for organizing the 2022 FIFA World Cup was forced to leave the country after being sexually assaulted. Paola was attacked by a colleague and after she reported the assault was made to go through a humiliating three hour long interrogation process in Arabic and was asked for a virginity test. Reportedly, her attacker flipped the investigation on her by claiming they had a romantic relationship prior to the assault. Once the Qatari officials heard about their alleged relationship, the investigation turned from a sexual assault complaint to a investigation into an extramarital affair. “Although I had the forensic evidence of the beatings and everything, they believed him and applied the crime of fornication to us in an extramarital relationship,” Schietekat explained. Paola’s attacker was acquitted of the assault charges. Meanwhile, Paola fled the country with the help of her employer and local consulate and later learned that her case would be heard before a criminal court, where she faces up to seven years in jail and 100 lashes.
