It was bad enough that the alleged rape took place in the sanctity of a mosque and that the accused man was a mullah who invoked the familiar defence that it had been consensual sex.
But the victim was only 10 years old. And there was more: The authorities said her family members openly planned to carry out an honour killing in the case – against the young girl. The mullah offered to marry his victim instead.
This past week, the awful matter became even worse. On Tuesday, local policemen removed the girl from the shelter that had given her refuge and returned her to her family, despite complaints from women’s activists that she was likely to be killed.
The case has broader repercussions. The head of the Women for Afghan Women shelter here where the girl took refuge, Dr. Hassina Sarwari, was at one point driven into hiding by death threats from the girl’s family and other mullahs, who sought to play down the crime

Honour killings in rape cases are common in Afghanistan, and are often more important to the victim’s family than vengeance against the attacker. Human rights groups say about 150 honour killings a year come to light, and many more probably go unreported.

Christian, American Dad’s protect their Little Princesses.
An American Dad would have already beat the rapist of Daddy’s Litte Princess to a bloody pulp.
Yes, agreed. And they are the prefect example. They are not a western culture (like the Germans are), they thought their Emperor was GOD, and we told him, hey: tell your people you’re not God anymore and well, he probably didn’t like it, but he lumped it.
You are so right. The Japanese were vicious, they’d terrorized all of Asia, I still remember the story about some Korean guy (this was maybe in the 80s or something) who had the job of running up the Japanese flag for some diplomatic get together. Whether he ran up all the flags or not I don’t recall. But he was so ashamed of raising the Japanese flag, because of all the horrible things they’d done years before, he killed himself!
Yes, that’s what we should have done with the Muslims. And I suppose that eventually it WILL be what we do with the Muslims, because it may come down to changing them, killing them, or submitting to them.
According to iCasualties.org, 50 women have died fighting in Afghanistan. Fourty-two of them were American. I bet they’d be glad they gave their lives for these people to have a better life.
“Was that Bush or was he just being extremely sarcastic?”
I don’t think Bush invented that big fat lie, but he was quick to spout it on national TV in his first formal address after 9/11.
I always thought they were afraid of the wholesale slaughter of Muslims starting up.
I cannot even begin to understand how these savages came up with killing the victim of rape! Unless it is written in the Koran.
I can’t believe the victim was female. Actually, now that I think about that, it makes me doubt the whole story.
What’s wrong with these people?
1,400 years of inbreeding.
“what is wrong with these people?”
They are (Sam Kenison voice) MUSLIMS!
That’s just silly. Was there a wholesale slaughter of Germans or Japanese during WWII? Americans don’t really go in for that stuff. It shows what contempt they have for us that they would even think that.
Oh, my! And I thought all cultures were “equal”.
