Pakistan’s troubling rape problem
Toronto Sun ^ | 09/08/2014

Posted on 09/13/2014 4:48:13 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

There are 1.5 million street kids in Pakistan -- an estimated 90% of them have been sexually abused at some point in their lives.

Rape in Pakistan is so common, it’s barely taboo. Last week the Daily Mail interviewed a bus driver from Peshawar who says, after his shift is over, he likes to go into the slums and rape street kids. Sometimes he pays them a dollar. But often he doesn’t – he just joins in a big gang rape.

“Once, there was a boy on the bus and everyone had sex with him,” he told the Daily Mail. “I did it too but what else could I do? They invited me. And he was that kind of boy anyway.” He says he’s raped 12 different children.

This wasn’t a solitary rapist, hiding in the shadows, afraid of being seen or being caught. This was men joining together, unworried about social norms, unworried about someone stopping them.

A poll of 1,800 Pakistani men found that a third don’t think raping street kids is a crime – and they don’t even think it’s a bad thing to do.

And then there’s so-called honour killings – where families kill their own daughters for social improprieties, real or perceived.

Every year close to 1,000 Pakistani girls are murdered by their own fathers, brothers or even mothers, for “moral indiscretions” ranging from going out on a date to dressing in western clothing to marrying the wrong man.

What a horrific duality -- a country that has normalized the rape of children, but would rather murder its own daughters than have embarrassing gossip about them.

No wonder so many Pakistanis are happy to emigrate. Put aside the ongoing terrorist civil war, put aside official discrimination against minority religions,

And all along I thought Islam was “a peaceful religion.” The truth is Islam only looks at a woman from the waist down and consider women nothing more than a piece of property.

Because it is rude to turn down an invitation, right?

Sex in the West is based on a romantic model.
But in Islamic it’s not “boy meets girl, they fall in love, they marry.” In Islam, marriages are arranged and the usually much older groom meets the teenage virgin bride at their wedding. Their wedding night is a traditional “first rape of the virgin.”

A bloody sheet must be hung out the window of the upper-floor nuptial bedroom above the raucous male wedding party revelers, to prove that the bride was indeed a virgin.

Romance, “boy meets girl,” has nothing to do with marriage in Islam.

So it’s not surprising that sex is conflated with rape in Islam. There is even a Pashtun saying, “If you can’t find a boy or a sheep, and old shoe will do.”

STONE AGE mentality that has no place in today’s world.

Anyone protecting Islam has to be questioned on whether they actually understand what common sense is and how to apply it properly.

geez...and those kids will only continue the cycle of abuse - which - I’m sure - leads to jihadi tendencies!

And, of course, the “it’s for the kids” Liberals will crow not to judge them—it’s a different culture.

What else could he do? Really?

Honestly, that is one one sick society.

What dirty ol Mo would so with 6 year old Aisha was to thigh her. He would rub his penis up and down her thighs. This has to do for “sex” until he finally got to penetrate and rape her at age 9

Muslims will be Muslims. It is the nature of Islam, and even Muslims who might want to do something about it can’t because Islam permits it.

Obama and his gay roommate spent a lot of time in Pakistan, probably taking advantage of helpless children.

I remember someone visited POCKISTON back in 1981. I wonder what was on the itinerary for that trip?
