Nafiah Ikram was left severely burned and nearly blind

I recall Mark Steyn pointing out that “acid attacks” were simply unknown in England until about 25 years ago. Now they are one of the leading means of violence upon women there.

Diversity!

I'm sorry, but I am well read in literature and history and what you claim is 1005 falsehood.

Acid attacks started in the United Kingdom over 200 years ago, and reached a peak in the second half of the 19th century, when THOUSANDS of acid attacks occured, and it was well known.

It was more common for the attacker to be a woman, and research shows twice as many woman as men stood trial for it from 1837 to 1913.

If you ever read Arthur Conan-Doyle Sherlock Holmes story The Adventure of the Illustrious Client, a woman throws acid on the face of a former lover.

In Graham Greene's Brighton Rock a man throws acid at a woman.

Sorry, you are just plain wrong.
