I have read cases where Christians, Hindus and all other castes have been involved in such crimes. Some say buddists never committed this crime then here goes a case: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2176747/Buddhist-monk-repeatedly-raped-teen-years-impregnated-her.html

I don't know why everyone connects such incidents with a religion as other people who assault girls do it for fun or because they are MENTALLY SICK and they have no right to live.

If not religion, then people blame the country. That's the reason I don't believe in any religion/country/case. I only believe in HUMANITY and if one is a good human, they will never hurt or assault any girl.

In this case, the people are mentally sick and hence they assaulted that innocent child and such people have no right to live whether or not they belong to any religion.

I would say your comparing two different things... the case you posted about a Buddhist is one person, of a certain faith, raping a girl. He is not raping the girl and citing buddhist beliefs as the justification for doing it. Your not going to be able to find a buddhist belief that can be twisted into "its ok to rape a girl" and your probably not going to be able to easily 'spin' any reference in the Bible, unless you just completely make up a belief that doesn't exist. ISIS and other organizations that stem off from the Islam religion seem to quote specific and detailed references in the Qu'ran which gives them the 'feeling' that they have a God, prophet, or whatever behind their actions.

All this makes sense once you realize that there is no actual God. It's just people being people.

Yes. Not people but criminals.

I guess this could depend on what your regions version of a "criminal" is?
Unfortunately the same mis-interpreted statements in the Qu'ran could still be imposed by a Government, ruler, or whatever. If we eliminate all religions & God, we will just be listening to our 'rulers' and what they deem is or is not a crime. And this would probably end up different throughout the world. I am not sure which one I want at this point... Government or God? is none of the above an option? Lips sealed

I do not give a shit about a Quran or anything when someone rapes a 9 year old, he is a criminal!

I agree with you, I was just pointing out that religions have their own versions of what they determine a crime and how those criminals are handled. You and I thinking they are criminals means nothing if they are on the other side of the world being ruled under someone who doesn't see a problem with it. Obviously the 9 year old rape of a girl is probably not the best example because I would *hope* most religions out there would not come anywhere near condoning this behavior.
