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

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,

If Obama had a religion, it would look just like this.

Western civilization, at least my civilization, holds rapists to be inhuman scum, not deserving of freedom or humane consideration.

OK, so...spread nuclear technology to North Korea and Iran, hide Osama bin Laden for years, create and grow the Taliban, devise a culture that thinks it's cool to rape children. Is that a comprehensive list of the accomplishments of the nation of Pakistan? Any atrocities I missed?

No, they only look at boys from the waist down. They don’t look at the girls, those they dress in garbage bags... It’s a Mohammad thing.

Send this Pakistani bus driver to an American prison, I’m confident that he’ll be gang-raped to death, and I will laugh at his funeral!

That would be chattel.

That's an Anglo-Saxon word meaning property other than real estate.

It barely scratches the surface of the depravity that is Islam!

I suppose the recent media revelations about Rotherham ENG proves that statement to not be totally true. The Muslims there have raped and prostituted over 1400 minor white girls over several years, while the English police have just looked the other way.

Islam has been raping the world for 1400 years.

Literally.

All cultures are equal, don’t ya know. . .can’t condemn them for being themselves. . .we are, after all, enlightened and celebrate our cultural differences because diversity is our strength.
