That this kind of horror could exist on earth ...

I'm speechless.

[AppyPappy]

The religion of peace.

[keri]

Our allies in the war on "terror?"

What kind of man does it take to do this to the mother of his children?

[McLynnan]

What kind of evil is at work to create a man capable of such brutality? Thank you for posting this. It gives me even more reason to be grateful for all that I have.

terrible.....

and what culture are we accepting into our country (by the 100's of thousands?) And what are we expected to do with those cultures? Tolerate them. Accept them. Celebrate them, even.... Diversity is good for us, remember.

And, when our daughters marry into some new culture.... when she ends up like this poor woman..... will we still tolerate, accept and celebrate this wonderful diversity?

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.

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.

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.

"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?

[Salvey]

Please, please, please, dear friends. We must be compassionate, tolerant and understanding of Islamic traditions and customs which are different from ours. Who are we to say that their way is wrong and ours is right? There are no absolutes, as our moral relativist democRAT friends tell us. Can't we all just get along?

[Sally II]

God, that's horrible! So she got a new nose? I wish the article showed the after photo. Thank God for Western technology. I read an article last year in "World & I" about Vietnam. I guess over there they have the odd incident where the throw acid on women's faces --though now I can't remember if it was domestic violence or for political reason. But anyhow, it's horrible.

[neutrino]

moslems showing their respect for women again, eh?

Best I not write what I think of mo-slimes right now. Or what I think should be done to about them.

[goodnesswins]

It's like the DEVIL equals ISLAM (or at least the extremists who act as devils like this!)

[MissAmericanPie]

"MAKKAH, 1 September — The Muslim World League (MWL) has urged the Earth Summit committee studying problems of women and family to draw benefit from the rules of ethics and morality as enshrined in Islam.

Who needs freedom when we have The Religion of Peace....

[goodieD]

And the point of this story is? This happens all the time there, and there is nothing we can do about it.

[valkyrieanne]

Something to think about on 9/11/02, when all the hijab-wearers come out and crow about how good Islam is for women...

Zahida Parveen had reconstructive surgery in the United States after being badly disfigured by her husband. She received a prosthetic nose and ears and artificial eyes.

[Lazamataz]

Horrifying.

Would have been more merciful to just kill this victim.

The man who did this must have the same fate -- the exact same fate -- visited upon him.

[Hildy]

This is how she looks today with the help of plastic surgeons and a CIA master of disguise. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2002/02/0212_honor4.html This is truly a great story.
