Countless billions of human lives have been needlessly wasted in the cause of the beatification of ignorance and to find one such beatification more blameworthy than another is exactly what religious belief is specifically designed to do. It was invented as a tool of oppression and it's still fulfilling its objective admirably so humanity is simply getting its just desserts. Praise the lord and pass the joint.

I am an equal opportunity believer, especially when there is a spliff on offer. Unfortunately Islam sets its followers above all others and is opposed to criticism of its beliefs to the extreme that its leaders call for the death of those that criticise it.

The US reports about 85,000 rapes a year, about 27.3 rapes per 100,000 population.[98] There is a rape in the US every 6.2 minutes, with 1 in 5 women likely to be raped in her lifetime.[99] As with other countries, the US does not collect separate data on gang rapes; Vogelman and Lewis estimate 25% of all rapes in the US are gang rapes.[77] Another source indicates 21.8% of American rapes are gang rapes.[100]

Hundreds of gang rape cases on college campuses have been prosecuted.[12] A Roger Williams University study estimates from survey of crime data that 16% of all male rapists in the US participated in a gang rape crime.[101]

Some recent examples of gang rapes reported in local media include the Cleveland gang rape,[102] Richmond gang rape,[103] New Orleans gang rape,[104] St Paul gang rape,[105] Miami gang rape/murder,[106] Chicago gang rape[107] Delaware park gang rape[108] among others.
