You'll hear similar stories from all over southern Asia and the Middle east...

You can add South America to that list too.

[Fintan]

And the twinkies in the alleged "news" media tell me I'm supposed to be opposed to the death penalty.

There are people who deserve to die. And should.

[Right To Life]

...won't be able to retrieve any reperations against the men in the country...

Although you'd like to, you closet liberal!

[Right To Life]

There are people who deserve to die. And should.

True. Those who brutalize/torture others.

[Sungirl]

Hey... I'll take money from an old man to help him ease his guilty conscience. :}

[Let's Roll]

Sorry, Ice, not even close.

[Sungirl]

And Sungirl, watch out when you use "NOW" in all caps for pete's sake!

EWww....didn't catch that..you're right...I can't stand those wo'MEN'.

[Pining_4_TX]

I'm trying to figure out what exactly the author means by this title. Does she mean, in a feminist sense, that all men are beasts and this could happen to any woman? Or, does she mean (which would be the correct meaning!), that the third world and false religions are barbaric and that western values are superior? Just curious....

[Right To Life]

Speaking of NOW, where are they on issues like the one in this article? They may give a little lip service, but their primary goal and all of their effort is to expose the evil white male who happens to be American.

Salient point. NOW is so anti-Anglo, that they gives atrocities elsewhere substantially less press. Exceptions noted, but generally speaking.

[Right To Life]

Hey... I'll take money from an old man to help him ease his guilty conscience.

When you put it that way, it sounds way more reasonable. :o)

[Right To Life]

...the third world and false religions are barbaric and that western values are superior...

I vote for that position!

[OldFriend]

How about the American father who set his son on fire in a California motel. The custody dispute wasn't going his way. The boy is all grown up now and the saddest thing I heard was when he said he wouldn't want to have children in case they looked like him. He was so young when his dad set him on fire, he didn't realize that his children wouldn't be disfigured as he was.

Evil exists everywhere.....

As he beat her with a wooden ax handle, blood began to drip from her arms and legs. Then Iqbal, a barber by profession, traded his ax for a razor. He cut off the lower lobes of her ears, then sliced her nose at the base. "He next used a metal rod to poke out my eyes," she continues, "and then put his finger inside each socket to make sure nothing was left."

Good Lord...Words escape me.

[MarineDad]

"...the third world and false religions are barbaric and that western values are superior..."

Can she say something like this in a public forum? I mean, won't she run afoul of some "controlling legal authority" or another? There's gotta be some kind of hate crime lurking in there somewhere...

[Right To Life]

In a PC world, it is a cathartic thing to say...,

[technochick99]

As awful as this incident sounds, it's even worse when you consider that it's not uncommon. Parveen lives in Pakistan, a country where such attacks on women - known as honor violence - take place too often.

Parveen's case is hopeful proof that Pakistan's views on honor violence are shifting.

Right, it's accepted, happens a lot and very few go to jail for it. But Pakistan's views are changing?!? Not. This sickens me to the core.

[Right To Life]

They should put this woman's torturer in a small room with the woman's father, and the woman's father's baseball bat.

[LibWhacker]

The difference is that that kind of violence is not institutionalized here. Nor is it sanctioned by anyone, much less the Church. But in Pakistan and other islamic countries it has been sanctioned for centuries. Only now are they trying ever so gingerly to put lipstick on that pig, and only then when outsiders are looking on.

[M. Peach]

At least he didn't do what Richard Ramirez did....

[humblegunner]

"Iqbal accused Parveen of having an affair."

Geez, all I did was divorce the woman and give her
the house.. things are extreme over yonder, huh?
