At first blush, the requirement of four witnesses seems inane, recognizing that fewer than one in a thousand sexual assaults or private moments of romantic expression have four, non-participating, and thus unbiased witnesses. However, the reason for the absurd requirement in this case is because only three Muslim men were willing to criticize the perverted sexuality of their cruel despot. In this case, the “chaste” woman was the victim of pedophilia. The idea of her being sexually assaulted by a weather-beaten 58-year-old sadist is heartbreaking. And even worse, this whole affair occurred because Muhammad dragged her along on a terrorist raid against the Banu Mustaliq. Evidently embarrassed by the half-a-century gap in their age, she had been kept out of sight in a closed litter on the back of a camel. In due time, we’ll examine the Hadith, which seek to explain how answering the call of nature exposed a pervert, but for now, let’s stick with the un-god’s conniption fit over alleged indiscretions.
