I was just wondering, if a female is getting raped and she stabs and ends up killing the male, is that a MAJOR sin on her Islamically? What if she does something like that if she feels like there's a threat to her (so in a panic)? Like will she go to hell for it...what does Islam say about stuff like this?

It’s not even a sin. No where near one.

“It doesn’t mean that I advocate violence, but at the same time, I am not against using violence in self-defense. I don’t call it violence when it’s self-defense, I call it intelligence.”—Malcolm X
The victim of rape—be it male/female/etc— according to Islam, has no blame and bares no punishment. Rape is seen as a violent act.
“Rape as hiraba is a violent crime that uses sexual intercourse as a weapon. The focus in a hiraba prosecution is the accused rapist and his intent and physical actions, and not second-guessing the consent of the rape victim. Hiraba does not require four witnesses to prove the offense, circumstantial evidence, medical data and expert testimony form the evidence used to prosecute such crimes.” —Rape in Islam [<— a rather orthodox but good article]
According to a Sunni hadith, the punishment for committing rape against someone is death.
Johnny Depp converts to Islam
While visiting Morocco Johnny Depp converted to Islam.
Personally I’ve always thought that Johnny Depp and Hamza Yusuf had an uncanny resemblance. I wonder if I’ll be able to tell the difference now at this year’s upcoming ISNA.

Share with friends. An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older - about one in four adults - suffer from a diagnosable mental illness in any given year. However, stigma surrounding mental illness is a major barrier that prevents people from seeking the mental health treatment that they need.

Speak up. Demand your rights. Stop accepting the status quo. No one is going to change our situation but ourselves. Bring the masjid back to the way it was during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (saws). There is no back entrance to the Kaaba, there isn’t a separate room to God. We all have the right to prayer and no one should be prohibiting this, especially ourselves.
“ We like to speak of Islam and liberation, but we close women behind curtains and walls and call it modesty. What modesty is there in men who cannot control their desires and who project upon women their subjugation fantasies? Every time we tell a woman not to speak or act or appear or breathe, we only affirm our own immodesty. What modesty is there in resisting temptation, not by sanitizing our hearts, but by purging women and turning our sisters and wives into a subjugated colony?
— Khaled Abou El Fadl
“ Islam showed itself to be culturally friendly and, in that regard, has been likened to a crystal clear river. Its waters (Islam) are pure, sweet, and life-giving but, having no color of their own, reflect the bedrock (indigenous culture) over which they flow. In China, Islam looked Chinese; in Mali, it looked African. Sustained cultural relevance to distinct peoples, diverse places, and different times underlay Islam’s long success as a global civilization.
— Umar Faruq Abd-Allah
