1. I am not Muslim but I find the question offensive.

For the same reason I would find it offensive if you were to ask a Jewish person to respond to an idiotic statement made by a Jew or Christian by a Christian, Buddhist by a Bhuddhist.

Lots of men say that it is the womans fault that they raped because of the way they dressed.

Should you then be called upon to answer that because you are a male?

The simple answer to what you are asking is that true Islam teaches respect and what may have been a suitable age 500 years ago in a rural area would not apply to day. In my interactions with Muslims, my brother and sister in law are Muslims, I find that they are much more family and clan oriented and that if someone would want to date their daughter they wouldn't do it via facebook but do it in a way that the parents would respect, and I don't know any Muslims who would think it appropriate for a 17 year old to have sex with a 13 year old.
