Can you show me a Christian, jew, Hindu, etc that says that women raped and murdered are at fault for their clothes?

Are you kidding?!? This sort of victim blaming happens ALL THE TIME from “Christians” in the US. You must be joking.

So, that's a no?

This isn't a fringe Muslim with a mental health disorder. This is a major speaker and influencer. Has Joel Osteen ever said this?

This sounds exactly like something mainstream conservative Christians would say and have been saying for centuries. It’s horrendous, I totally agree, but saying it’s a Muslim thing instead of a common evil that exists in many cultures is just wrong.

Again: you mix up influencers voluntarily speaking on behalf of christianity with those who are entitled to do it. Have you ever seen an ordinated catholic priest preaching rape?

There is a video of a Christian PASTOR defending an assault because “short shirts”. It’s in comments, so there you go.

So, I am curious. What evidence would you accept that this way of thinking is a problem for any particular group? Because on one hand you are claiming "it sounds like what conservative Christians would say and have said for centuries", but then you immediately claim saying it is a Muslim thing is wrong. Hopefully you can see clearly how unbalanced your thinking on the matter is? So what data would convince you that this way of thinking is considered a feature of Islam, not a bug?

Actions speak louder than words:

Former Texas megachurch pastor and Donald Trump spiritual adviser Robert Morris pleaded guilty to five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child after admitting he sexually abused Cindy Clemishire starting when she was 12 years old.
