Skunk, you still not have told us of your travels in the MidEast. What countries have you visited and for what length of time? How often do you interact with the muslim community where you live? What training/classes in the faith have you taken?
I make no claims to being an expert, yet I know enough not to compare rape statistics between the US and Syria. In Syria, a woman admitting to rape is confessing to adultery (if married) or immoral behavior (if still living under her father's roof). In either case the woman is subject to penalties up to death for participating in unsanctioned sex. Rape cases are only reported if the husband or father wants legal remedy against the known rapist. If you really insist, I could dig out my old cultural anthropology texts dealing with MidEastern cultural norms. Then again you could also talk with my wife's family who reaffirmed this information. I will admit that my information comes from a small data base in this instance. They only lived there for the first 34 years of their life and have been living in the US for the past 30 years. I have much more exposure and study concerning the situation than this but sincerely do want to know your personal experience of the MidEast and the muslim faith.
