The women in that tribe talked with the press many times. They have no doubts that their tribe is superior. The fact that she has been raped renders her entire tribe inferior. It wouldn't surprise me at all if her brother killed her to avenge their honor.

On the beaten earth of the stable floor, Mukhtar was raped by four men: Abdul Khaliq, Gulam Farid, Allah Dita and Mohammed Faiz.

Quite telling that her rapists were Muhammad and Allah. They are continuing to rape 1.3 Billion muslims of their access to salvation.

Thanks, I have not seen that by Patton. I added it to my home page here.

This couldn't have happened. Islam is a religion of peace.

"To me it seems certain that the fatalistic teachings of Muhammad and the utter degradation of women is the outstanding cause for the arrested development of the Arab. He is exactly as he was around the year 700, while we have kept on developing"

-- General George S. Patton: The War as I Knew it, 1974, p.49

Great quote! Thanks.

But wait! 3 years for raping a boy....and they accused HIM of rape in order to gang rape his sister as well...as punishment for the crime he never committed. Lovely


But we are to talk to them, and make treaties, and expect them to uphold them.

she says quietly. "I believe it will rain after me".

and it was poetry.

Conversion to Christianity would certainly help these poor people.
Besides salvation is for eternity.

[plangent]

The religion of piece.

Just an excuse for old f*rts to have their way with sheep, goats, camels, boys and girls under the will of Mohammed. Allah Akbar!

[SevenofNine]

OMG that disgusting f***kin General Musffaha badmouthing her

Excuse me General just because your country men are stuck in 12th century you think this bad PR how about teaching your countrymen it not cool of raping Village woman like this

[river rat]

I'll make the point again....

This is PAKISTAN...
The combination of Islam and Pakistan is toxic....and should be cordoned off from the civilized world..

Semper Fi

Illiteracy notwithstanding, this woman is a certainly a leader.

[Wycowboy]

LOL Now that right there's funny.....I don't care who you you are.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

her father asked her to go with him to the village mosque [where she was dragged off and ganged raped] . . . [turns old that the gang rape to punish her] was . . . an attempt to hide the fact that it was her brother who had been raped by men from the Mastoi caste. . . the Mastoi . . . have neither forgotten nor forgiven [her for exposing the truth], and have threatened to kill her and her brother.

Mosque? I thought this was about a street gang in the village.

What an eclectic religion, that fundamentalist Islam is!

[TheBattman]

OK - a couple of things...

First - We are actually trying to make friends with these animals?

Second - Where are the "peace-loving", Amnesty International-types? shouldn't they be filling the airwaves with protests, filing papers with every international human rights organizations, and generally raising a stink....

OH>..I forgot, those groups only complain when it's the US's "fault"...

[353FMG]

Don't be so derogatory - they may end up becoming your neighbors. Isn't it diversity that we are trying to promote by letting scum like these in?

[SauronOfMordor]

What those Mastoi men failed to acknowledge is that they themselves destroyed whatever honor they might have had and they utterly dishonored their "caste" by this "revenge rape" of a vulnerable, defenseless, and innocent woman.

The issue is one of translation. "Honor" is the wrong word here. There is no English word to describe it, but "face" comes close. The clan felt that they had been "disrespected", or "dissed" in slum slang. And just like a slum gang, they cannot afford to let people think that they can be "dissed" without bad things happening to somebody.

These Pakistanis have no concept of "honor" in the Western sense

[amchugh]

"Despicable muslim primitivism.

Sorry to seem oxymoronic."

Did you mean redundant, not oxymoronic?

[perfect stranger]

Quite a profound and illustrative metaphor from an otherwise "illiterate peasant woman".

Tends to make me think that she has much more intelligence than the ones casting their perverted judgement.
