Rape committed by Muslims against non-Muslims is an epidemic even in the West but especially in the Muslim dominated world. Muslim rape perpetrators often justify this crime against women and very young girls as a right promised in the Quran and/or Hadith.
This is often reported me by Pakistani-Christian activist and reporter Shamim Masih. Due to Shamim’s reporting I have become acutely aware of Pakistan’s rape epidemic more than the rest of the world. Here is an excerpt from a 2013 article on Pakistan’s rape epidemic that provides the numbers to drive home the horror that Pakistan minorities face (to name a few – Christian, Hindu and Ahmadi [Pakistan-Ahmadi perspective]):
Official data confirms that 17,075 women were raped over the past five years. Of these, 1,368 were instances of gang-rape.
In just the past two years, the statistics recorded by the National Police Bureau (NPB), show that 6,887 women were raped, while 550 were gang-raped during this period (2012-2013).
According to these statistics, over 3,000 women are, on average, raped every year in Pakistan. In 2013, the total reported cases of rape were 3,164. In 2012, this number was 3,173.
Reported cases of gang-rape in 2013 remained 257 and 293 in 2012. In 2011, police registered 3,272 cases of rape besides the reports of 264 women were allegedly gang-raped. In 2010, the numbers were 3,158 and 310 respectively.
…
But these numbers, which NPB collected from regional police departments, reflect only the tip of the iceberg. These are the cases the authorities actually registered. There are countless others which are not reported because police officials refuse to register First Information Reports (FIR) after taking bribes from the culprits.
In many other rape cases, local community leaders, families, politicians or victims deliberately try to cover up incidents of rape to avoid “social embarrassment”
…
“This data is based on the FIRs registered in all police stations across the country. We believe the actual number of incidents is far higher than numbers which are reported,” said a senior government official, who monitors the crime statistics.
“It is very difficult to get ‘real’ statistics from the provinces. They hide several incidents and show less cases than there actually are,” the official told Pique on the condition of anonymity, because he is not authorized to talk to the media.
“It is a common trend with our police department that they desperately avoid registering the FIR and try their best to prevent the complainants from registering one,” he said.
Below is Shamim’s report on the gang rape of teen Christian girls by Muslim males.

ISLAMABAD: Sehrish 18 and Farazana 14 were forcibly raped by lecherous Muslim men in District Jaranwala a couple of days back but the police avoided registering FIR in this regard.
According to the details, Sehrish and Farazana, daughters of Ilyas Masih, went to nearby fields for an outdoor toilet. While there were several very aggressive and lecherous Muslim men (Sijad, Azeem, Asif, and Akbar etc.) grabbed them and took them deeper into local woods, where two teenage virgin girls were gang raped. The men laughed and mocked the girls as they took away their innocence. Stating this, is [the] fate of poor Christian girls. The girls then had to make their own way home running scared and half naked after the terrifying ordeal.
When they told their parents what happened to them, their father Ilyas Masih, resident of Chack no. 651/2 immediately went to the local Police Station. Yet despite pleading for justice the local police refused to register a First Investigation Report (FIR) but [the police] tried to coerce the father to reach a compensation agreement with [the] men who had scarred his daughters for life. The father stated that the police were extremely aggressive with him in their attempts at reaching an unlawful compromise between him and the perpetrators of the vicious attack on his daughters. Then he has pursued the matter through the local courts and civil judge Kamran has ordered for a medical examination to be undertaken on the poor defenseless girls, who have been physically shaken by the event.
According to the latest report FIR no. 552/14 has been registered and Sijad has been arrested and [the] rest are fugitives. This is to mention here that in rural areas of the Pakistan there is no defecation and urination facility in the houses and usually poor people have to use a communal cesspit as an outdoor toilet for urination. Basharat Khokhar said that this is very common that aristocracy treat poor girls as their slaves. There are many cases that are not being reported. And the poor class is being exploited everywhere. Pakistani Christian needs to be strengthening economically, he added.
Even now as I write this piece the father advised me that threats are being made to him, his friends and his family. However, he will keep his resolve and will get justice for his daughters. He said that God will see them through this difficult period.
Be Blessed,
Shamim Masih
