I, as a Muslim, am truly disgusted when I hear about Rape (especially referring to cases of children being assaulted). Things like Rape via the Muslim-World cause Islamophobes to reinforce all of the classic Islamophobic-Rhetoric against Islam.(https://gbwrites.com/2020/10/29/judeochristianislamophobia)

We, as Muslims, have a Horrible-Habit of making the Job of Islamophobes easier, by doing things that will definitely be used against us. Now, a Young-Girl has been violently abused & killed…and, for what?!!! There is something clearly wrong here.(https://linguistictendencies.blogspot.com/2025/05/innocence-for-sale-how-culture-religion.html)

There is no reason as to why This-Person, Fayhan al-Ghamdi, can just Shell-Out Money & essentially Walk-Away from such a Heinous-Crime as this. The KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) has truly done a Disservice to this Young-Girl, Lama al-Ghamdi, the actual victim/child of This-Monster. To add Insult-To-Injury: This-Person is a Religio-Celebrity via Saudi itself.(https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/saudi-royal-family-intervenes-over-preacher-released-despite-raping-and-killing-daughter-8491812.html%3famp)

Now, what Type of Message does this really send to People all around the World? I’ll tell you:

1. It reinforces the Pseudo-Legitimacy of Islamophobes, anywhere/everywhere in the World, to attack Islam&Muslims, and accuse us of being Misogynists & followers of a “Misogynistic-Religion”. We always tend to make Attacks against Islam&Muslims so easy for Islamophobes to do, by doing exactly the opposite of what Islam teaches us.

2. It tells people that as long as you’re in good with the Saudi-Kingdom, you can basically get away with whatever you want, and only have to Cash-Out, in order to avoid any form of True-Justice. It reinforces the Hypocrisy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as a 1/2-Ass “Religious-State”-In fact, KSA is nothing more than an In-House/All-Boys Club of a Country: Hell-Bent on Religio-Political Domination over the Muslim-World via using Makkah, al-Madinah, Clerics, Petroleum, etc. as their Trump-Cards.(https://gulfnews.com/world/gulf/saudi/saudi-preacher-who-killed-his-daughter-released-1.157336)

3. It sends the Message of as long as we (the KSA-Favorites) do it, it’s “OK”: but no one else get do it, except us. If This-Person hadn’t been a Religio-Cleric, hadn’t been a Native-Subject/National of Saudi Arabia, hadn’t been an Arab, hadn’t been a High-Profile/Wealthy Person or Powerful-Foreigner, etc. then there’s 0-Doubt they would’ve definitely been executed…ASAP. And, this shows you the Extremes of how Ethnocentric/Familial-Connections, as well as “Race”, Class, etc. play-out when it comes to administering “Justice” in Saudi Arabia.(https://www.vice.com/en/article/qbe8bp/the-child-rape-assembly-line-0000141-v20n11)

4. It sends a Clear-Message to even the Subjects/Residents of KSA that “Justice” is Extremely-Relative in Saudi Arabia. And, as we all know that, as I say this quite often, “If Justice is relative, then it’s not Justice at all…it’s Hypocrisy.”.(https://gbwrites.com/2019/01/08/survivinghypocrisy)

May Allah forgive the Muslim-World, for Dropping-The-Ball, in regards to allowing Rape & any/all Other-Atrocities to occur unchecked in This-Dunyā/Mundane as well as around the world. May Allah give Muslims the Courage&Integrity to thwart Rape & any/all other Sexual-Offenses which exists in our World. May Allah make us of those whom stand-up for those too weak & helpless to stand-up for themselves. May Allah make us of those whom truly live by what He has sent down via Revelation (The Qur’an & Prophetic-Wisdom), to be firm upon that & let it guide our Lives, so that we can improve both our lives & the lives of others. May Allah make us of those whom are gentle with the Innocent & harsh with the Guilty. May Allah make us of those whom are treat Others justly & seek-out Justice for all.
