You also have to recognize that the application and interpretation of sharia varies widely. The problem is not necessarily sharia itself (though I oppose religious codes of law), but the regime in charge. Just like the problem with Iraq under Saddam (which also saw the rape and killing of women prisoners) wasn't sharia, it was Saddam.

No offense, but YES, the main problem is Sharia (the Islamic texts) because if it did not say things like kill the infidels or kill apostates then the vast majority of the time a government would not kill someone for those "crimes".
If Saddam's regime was acting from a SECULAR point of view when they committed rape, it certainly wasn't for the reason to keep her from going to paradise, it was for OTHER (albeit disgusting) reasons. Whereas Sharia regimes add one more reason to rape than non-Sharia regimes...simply due to what someone said 1400 years ago in barbaric pre-medieval times.
To move into the modern civilized world, first backwards Muslim nations need to overcome rule by Sharia, then they need to overcome rule by totalitarian-thugs.
