the husband of Zahida Perveen, a 32-year-old pregnant Pakistani, gouged out her eyes and sliced off her earlobe and nose because he suspected her of having an affair.

That would be this poor woman:

Why do feminists refuse to condemn Islam in stronger terms? The answer is as chilling as it is twisted and evil:

Because feminists see any total condemnation of Islam as giving tacit approval of Christianity--and that they cannot do.

I don't agree with the line taken in this article -that feminists do not respond to such atrocities. In fact, we are only aware of the case of that Pakistani woman because of feminist groups in Pakistan and the USA, who took up her case. They raised money, so that she was able to come to the US, and received corrective surgery by medical specialists who reconstruct faces after motor accidents.

The feminist support groups also provided legal advice for the Pakistani woman and her brother (who supported her) during the trial of her husband. The husband is now in jail in Pakistan. The brother, a very good man who stood by his sister, was given a small grant so that he could set himself up in a business.

Feminists can be accused of many things, but not inactivity on this case. They made it an internationally known crime.
