The homicide investigation unit of the Mecca Police found an Indonesian housemaid beaten and raped at the Al-Jabal checkpoint on the Mecca -Laith coastal road.

The Indonesian maid, in her 20s, had allegedly been beaten and raped by seven drunken men, the police said on Tuesday, arabnews.com reported.

The police said the maid was under a sponsor in Mecca and had left the sponsor’s house with a young man to have illicit sex at his friend’s apartment in Jeddah.

According to police, the two men asked five other friends to meet them at a certain place on the Mecca-Laith road where they participated in the criminal act.

“The two men bought alcohol from Jeddah and met with their other five friends at their rendezvous point, where they all alternately raped the woman and finally dumped her on the roadside,” the police said.

That’s no reason in Saudi Arabia to track down their flock and brothers in the faith. The girl will be lucky if she is not imprisoned for being the “cause” of the rape.

Why does the Post give a platform to Islamaphobes to give vent to their deep hatred of anything Islamic or Indonesian?

These Islamaphobes will twist the meaning of every news item. It is so disgusting. Reasoning will not work with these bigots.

I read more comments and news on the abuse that is going on outside Indonesia. What about what’s going on closer to home — in Medan: rape, attempted murder, abuse of power, abuse of government resources — all by one politician in Medan. Help the helpless women.

Rapes happen everywhere in the world. Most rapes happen — hard to believe — in Sweden. People in Finland drink too much alcohol and cause problems. (I visited there some years ago).

Read some newspapers from Israel (for example Haaretz). You will find that rape even happens in Israel. The former president of Israel, Mr Kaasav, was involved in molesting a woman at his office. He is now in prison. Some rabbis commit such crimes, too, because they are human beings. We human beings have defects.

Regarding this story, it’s so sad that we focus on Saudi Arabia and other countries while ignoring the brutality that occurs here at home.

The silent majority must start to act and stop these extremists – they target not only Christians, or Shiites or Ahmadis; they also target you as sensible, “moderate” Muslims. Happy New Year; but not for this young woman.

Saudi Arabia is one of the rich countries in the world, thanks to oil and, of course, haj pilgrims, but people there cannot treat Indonesians as slaves. Where are the Muslim intellectuals? I have never heard of them helping to solve a case like this.

This is the reason Islam bans alcohol. The negative effects are obvious.

The Saudi government must ban alcohol in Jeddah immediately!
Sudirman

Alcohol should be banned in Indonesia.
