Four Pakistani men were hanged Thursday for gang-raping a Christian woman at gunpoint during a 1999 robbery, a jail official said.
Police arrested the men, all Muslim, shortly after attacking the woman in Faisalabad, an industrial city about 180 miles east of Multan, a main city in Punjab province. There appeared to be no sectarian motive for the crime.
An anti-terror court sentenced the men to death after convicting them of raping the woman and robbing her family of about $1,000. The men lost appeals last year, including a mercy plea to President Gen. Pervez Musharraf.
Faisalabad Jail superintendent Yousaf Ghauri said the men were hanged at the high-security prison. Their bodies were handed over to relatives waiting outside the jail.
Those hanged were identified as Umar Hayat, 35, Mubarak Ali, 36, Mohammed Ashraf, 32 and Mohammed Shahzad, 31.
The victim's family did not attend the executions, Ghauri said. Her father had told the court that the four took turns in raping his daughter inside his home and threatened to kill him if he raised the alarm, Ghauri said.

Christians are a small minority in Pakistan, a deeply conservative Muslim nation of 150 million people, and the two groups generally live together peacefully.

Me three, four and five!
If this were the same punishment here in the US, my daughter's dad would have been hung years and years ago!

["It's Bush's fault."]
Well, of course it's Bush's fault. We (human beings) have to put a name on who were going to blame. After all, we have to find someone to blame, I'm sure you would agree with me.
For example, Roosevelt gave up Eastern Europe to the Soviets (Stalin). It's Roosevelt's fault (and Winston Churchill's fault too, for that matter.) In the context of the Balkans it's all our General Mladic's fault.

You might be right. Check out this thread about all the progress in Iraq that the worthless media doesn't find fit to tell us. Luckily the Quarterly report on Iraq feels otherwise.

He is a predator and I hired an attorney because I can't handle his schtick.
I wouldn't trade my daughter for anything in the world but her dad needs to be hung...for sexual abuse that he felt the had the right to...
God will punish him if the courts don't first.

Besides, to him, it was all about control.
In the end, for me, it was an important lesson in life.
He no longer has control and that hurts him, not me.

Yes a good lesson and all babies are gifts from God.
Keep her on the narrow path and she will truly astonish you.
God is good.
Don't let the dirty bast(((( haunt you.
I have nightmares at night about some unmentionable issues, many do Katie but we have solace in Prayer and knowing we will be set free in when we are in his presence and that my friend is attainable here in this world when you pray.
May God grace you and continue to shine his Love and good fruits thru the beauty of you daughter.
