That's actually false. They stone adulterers, not rape victims. As for rapists, it's the death penalty for them (decapitation). You seem to be getting your information from all the wrong sources. Weird.

As for removing burkhas, I totally agree with that. It's just uncomfortable to talk to a pair of eyes and a wall of clothing...and in the most extreme cases, they even cover the eyes up. I mean it's not even part of their religion.
