As this LA Times story explains, rape is a double ordeal for female Islamic prisoners.

"One woman told her attorney she was forced to disrobe in front of male prison guards. After much coaxing, another woman described how she was raped by U.S. soldiers. Then she fainted. "

I have so much pity for these women: they suffer the worst of the US, followed by the worst of their own culture. Women who are raped are considered a family shame and may even be murdered.
