Are there huge Muslim communities throughout the world raping girls everywhere?

Only in about a third of the world it seems; the places where such things are tolerated, such as tribal Pakistan, East Africa, and some bad sections of Paris.

I admit to using the broad brush generalization. I do find it interesting that I wrote a message describing the year-long repeated rape and brutalization of an 11-year-old and the part the people find offensive is where I generalize.

The most offensive approach would have been to avoid any reference at all to culture. No, the most offensive approach would have been to not forward the message at all.
