Pakistan Burn Victims Turn to Art of Beauty
FOXNews.com ^ | Monday, August 18, 2008 | Associated Press

LAHORE, Pakistan — Saira Liaqat squints through her one good eye as she brushes a woman's hair. Her face, most of which the acid melted years ago, occasionally lights up with a smile. Her hands, largely undamaged, deftly handle the dark brown locks.

A few steps away in this popular beauty salon, Urooj Akbar diligently trims, cleans and paints clients' fingernails. Her face, severely scarred from the blaze that burned some 70 percent of her body, is somber. It's hard to tell if she's sad or if it's just the way she now looks.

Please!!!! Every single FR user should go to the FoxNews website and look at the 11 photos of these women that are posted there - if you have the stomach to do it.

First, you’ll be shocked and then angered.

Next, you’ll be thankful you don’t live in a pit like Pakistan.

One of the photos includes a before and after pic. Such a pretty girl - destroyed by her own husband.

Wnad what happened to the scumbags in these stories?

Bless these courageous women!

These are remarkable women to soldier on in their home country after such horrific attacks.

I would love to see the men attacked three-fold worse, as punishment.

I’m so glad that the article is from a widely read site like FOX. People need to see this.

FReepers know but the rest of the world is convinced that TROP is really that. They need to see the other side.

Being that this is part of Islamistan, they were probably feted as heroes.

They are true heroines in every sense of the word. And the “people” (for lack of a better word) who did that need to be put down.

Not everybody deserves oxygen.

That’s an insult to savages. Human shaped pieces of excrement might be a little closer.

I used to think that I wouldn’t want to see anyone burn in hell. I’m having very serious second thoughts...

Enduring for eternity the pain and suffering they inflicted on those poor women seems a just fate.

What is the deal with Islamic men and throwing acid? I've read enough stories about it that it almost seems they keep a big supply in the medicine cabinet, always at the ready to horribly disfigure some uppity woman. I'm thinking that they sell little travel bottles of acid at the corner convenience store, in case someone needs to perform an emergency disfigurement while away from home.

And the loony left still prefers to ally themselves with TRoP...amazing.

Beats me. Their whole obsession with disfiguring women is beyond comprehension.

It’s a sad, sad story there. One of the things that made me hate their culture and their islam are these atrocities.

The Islamic men never seem to pay for it. Toss that acid and light that fire! It doesn’t matter, it’s an accepted part of their ‘culture’ - which is now invading the West.
