MUZAFFARGARH: The virgin daughter of a labourer was gang-raped by four persons in the presence of about 1,000 people, following a ‘verdict’ by a ‘panchayat’ (local tribal council) in Moaza Meerwala Jatoi near here.
Members of the Mastoi tribe accused the girl’s eleven-year-old brother of having ‘illicit relations’ with another girl from the tribe. They then called upon the panchayat to decide on the issue and forced the boy’s father, Ghulam Fareed, to bring his daughter before the council, threatening to abduct and rape all the female members of his family if he did not comply.
When Mr Fareed brought his daughter before the council, which included Muhammad Ramzan Pujar and Ghulam Fareed Mastoi, it decided that in compensation the girl would be gang-raped by four persons, Abdul Khaliq Mastoi, Allah Ditta Mastoi, Punnu Mastoi and Ghulam Fareed Mastoi.
Consequently, the four men took the young girl into a room where they proceeded to gang rape her. Afterwards, she was ordered to go home naked. Around 1,000 people were gathered at the council; however, none dared speak up against the injustice. Some of them later told Daily Times that they had been threatened with death if they raised any objections.
Even though the incident occurred on June 22, the Jatoi police did not register a case until June 30. A delegation of lawyers from Jatoi and Alipur called on Jatoi Deputy Superintendent of Police Malik Saeed Awan and managed to get the case registered. Jatoi police Station House Officer Nazir Bubbar said all the members of the council would be arrested and punished, along with the actual perpetrators of the crime; however, no arrests have yet taken place.Meanwhile, the Women’s Action Forum (WAF) has issued a statement in Lahore saying it is shocked at the report of the rape.
The statement says WAF has been struggling for the elimination of the barbarous practices that result in heinous atrocities against women. “It is a cause of serious alarm that the informal systems dominating our rural and tribal areas perpetuate social injustices,” says the statement.
WAF has demanded an inquiry into the incident and has asked that all those involved be arrested and punished. It has also demanded that all those who reportedly stood by and allowed this heinous crime to take place should also be proceeded against. It has asked the government to take serious notice of the incident and to take immediate and determined and deterrent measures against all those responsible.
I've long been of the opinion that the Middle East was put here to show us what would become of us if we were really bad. I don't think any further confirmation is required.
This is also a confirmation of another important point: piety is no guarantee of anything. Middle Eastern Muslims exceed most other peoples in religiosity, but they exceed all other peoples in wanton savagery, as we have come to learn.
Has anyone heard anything more about the woman who was sentenced to death by stoning by an Islamic court for the "crime" of having been raped?

Actually, we're going even farther than that. The liberals in our government and the media treating their belief's as superior to our own.
If someone was gonna be raped, it should have been HIM. Wtf is this world coming to.
These power-mad perverts need a short course in high-energy, "percussive therapy" carried out by a few hundred special-forces "therapists"
OK.
What can be done?
we can no more force the entire world to be civilized than we can feed them and provide health care for them.
What's the solution, other than isolating them and allowing them to continue their barbaric society, a la Afghanistan, until they threaten or injure another country?
We could have saved a lot of lives and grief had we (or anyone) invaded Afghanistan and executed every Taliban member. In a fantasy world that would have been justice.
In the real world, other pressures prevail, not the least of which is the assurance of maintaining the health of our own society.
Think about it. A parent's first and main responsibility is to remain healthy and able to care for his children.
On a national level, it's not too much different.
They are merely subhuman proto-Neanderthals and good "peaceful" Muslims leading a holy "Islamic" life in keeping with their beliefs.
I hope more of the idiots shoot off rifles in celebrations in war zones. The less of them around, he fewer there will be to breed and multiply.
