I think Abbott had the same problem . <| sep |> I think you mean they aren ' t exclusive to Muslims , though FGM seems pretty exclusive to Muslims and Islam . There ' s a difference between people doing stuff and what an ideology either gives them permission to do or obligates them to do . Jihad is considered obligatory in all major madhhab , FGM is considered obligatory in some of them . Rape is enabled by the four witnesses requirement in fiqh . Pedophilia is explicitly permitted as long as it involves marriage . Slavery is explicitly permitted . Beheading is a prescribed punishment in fiqh . Rape is permitted in jihad and with slaves . Some bandits or French revolutionaries could decide to behead someone as an arbitrary execution method , but do they do it because of a religious ideology that is still pervasive today ? Anyway , point is that just because you can find someone illegally committing rape somewhere doesn ' t mean that this is the same situation as a rape that is legal in Islam . Same for the other stuff .
