A WOMAN who was trafficked across the border from Pakistan with her son, 3, was handed to an Afghan who raped her, then beat the toddler to death as she watched.
He was jailed for 20 years for murder - but the woman, Rukhma, was jailed, too.
She had put up with her mistreatment for three months before going to authorities.
But in December, Rukhma, who doesn't know her age but looks younger than 20, was given a four-year sentence for adultery and "escaping her house" in Pakistan.
The Taliban's fall six years ago heralded new rights for women: to go to school or get a job.
Their rights are now enshrined in the constitution.
But except for a small urban elite, a woman fleeing domestic violence or accusing a man of rape herself often ends up seen as the guilty party.
"Why am I here? I'm innocent," Rukhma said, crying in a musty cell and cradling a baby daughter she bore in jail.
"It is cruel to have your son killed before your eyes and then to be imprisoned."
In parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan, a woman who runs away is typically suspected of having taken a lover and can be prosecuted for adultery.
Leaving home without family permission may be deemed an offence.
The chief prosecutor of eastern Nangarhar province, who oversaw Rukhma's case, suggested she got off lightly.
"If my wife goes to the bazaar without my permission, I will kill her. This is our culture," Abdul Qayum shouted scornfully. [Emphasis added]

now that's a REAL man! /s
it takes real low self-esteem, in this case as a group, to have their culture be to beat others down to keep themselves 'superior'.
Imprisoning the recently deceased must be a Muslim tradition.
Islam Is Hate
How nice for you.
no, Islam is peace.(the peace of the dead if you don’t convert)
“This is our culture,”
Yeah, we know. You’re a bunch of filthy savages clinging to perverted and hateful doctrine. You don’t need to remind us.
Your "culture" is a filthy piece of shit, and so are you, Mr. Qayum.
The twisted logic of a twisted culture.
Womens rights are "enshrined in their constitution" only as far as the Koran allows.
Qur'an 4:11 "Allah directs you in regard of your Children's (inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females.... These are settled portions ordained by Allah."
Qur'an 4:43 "Believers, approach not prayers with a mind befogged or intoxicated until you understand what you utter. Nor when you are polluted, until after you have bathed. If you are ill, or on a journey, or come from answering the call of nature, or you have touched a woman, and you find no water, then take for yourselves clean dirt, and rub your faces and hands. Lo! Allah is Benign, Forgiving." [The Qur'an claims women are unclean and polluted - worse than dirt.]
Qur'an 33:59 "Prophet! Tell your wives and daughters and all Muslim women to draw cloaks and veils all over their bodies (screening themselves completely except for one or two eyes to see the way). That will be better."
Qur'an 24:31 "Say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty except what (must) appear; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display them except to their husbands..."
Qur'an 4:15 "If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, take the evidence of four witnesses from amongst you against them; if they testify, confine them to houses until death [by starvation] claims them."
Bukhari:V3B48N826 "The Prophet said, 'Isn't the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?' The women said, 'Yes.' He said, 'This is because of the deficiency of a woman's mind.'"
Qur'an 24:34 "Force not your slave-girls to whoredom (prostitution) if they desire chastity, that you may seek enjoyment of this life. [And here's the freedom-to-pimp card:] But if anyone forces them, then after such compulsion, Allah is oft-forgiving."
How nice of you allah.
There us a HUGE difference between the Taliban and Islam: Taliban starts with a “t” and has seven letters, islam starts with an “i” and has 5 letters...besides that, same people, same culture (or lack thereof).
FOAD, Abdul.
It's a world village ya know.
Fortunately for my own sake I won't have to lift a finger ~ we have about 25,000 Afghans in the immediate vicinity and they're Westernized enough to know that barbaric boasts from idiots like Abdul Qayum are not only embarrassing, they may well result in early termination of US government aid.
I suspect this puke won't be around next time a reporter wants an Afghan sound byte.
I feel no regret in saying he won’t be missed. Nor will those who think like him when their time comes. May it be sooner rather than later.
I'll be quite happy to kick in 50% of your hourly rate. Let me know where to send the funds and your preferred method of delivery.

Thanks for the offer of support. However, I don’t think any of us even need to do anything at all. This guy was obviously issuing a challenge to Karzai and his people and that’s usually all it takes.
