Just to clear things up, I am Muslim but not of Arab descent. What frustrates me about these kind of stories is that when people find out what faith I am, I get either "Isn't that what the terrorists were?" or "Don't they like not respect women or something??" It just frustrates me because we try so hard to culturally assimilate but because of a few whack jobs like these rapists, we are persecuted and ostracized.
I think in general, on the other topic, that men who were molested were molested by other men, although it is not unheard of for a woman to molest a boy. I don't have specific numbers, but again it maybe one of those things that isn't reported in vast numbers out of shame, fear, etc.
Rape is sorely underreported in this country. I can't even begin to discuss it. The law definitely is not on "our" side. And even if it were, the people enforcing it are definitely not.
