‘Burying women alive for honour is tribal tradition’ (Pakistan)

* Baloch senator Israrullah Zehri says members should not politicise issue

ISLAMABAD: The killing of women for honour is a demand of the tribal traditions, Balochistan Senator Israrullah Zehri informed the Senate on Friday.

Zehri was responding to Senator Yasmeen Shah’s statement in which she had drawn the House’s attention towards reports that five women had been buried alive in Balochistan in the name of honour. She called it a sheer violation of human rights.

Zehri asked the members not to politicise the issue, as it was a matter of safeguarding the tribal traditions.

Leader of the Opposition in Senate Kamil Ali Agha condemned the killing of women in the name of honour and demanded the issue should be referred to the Human Rights Standing Committee of the House.

Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid Senator Nisar Memon drew the attention of the Senate to a research article written by Michael Chossugovsky published in “Global Research of Canada”. He said that the article warns how some foreign elements were planning economic, political and military disruptions to declare Pakistan a failed state.

Memon said the article stated how certain foreign powers were first planning to create chaos in the country through economic crisis followed by an unprecedented price-hike, and an eventual intervention of the International Monetary Fund in the economic affairs of the country.

“The ultimate objective of all these conspiracy theories is a territorial break-up and dismemberment of the country,” Memon warned.

A disintegration of the country on racial and linguistic lines would be another tool against the country, followed by a military disruption similar to that of Yugoslavia, Memon feared.

Senate Chairman Jan Muhammad Jamali said that it was a serious matter and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani should brief the House on national security and territorial and strategic threats faced by the nation.

Leader of the House Raza Rabbani said the government would not allow anyone to harm the integrity of Pakistan. tahir niaz

I see, understand and agree with the point you make.

However, we don’t buy oil, from non-muslim Arabs.

The only Arabs who are profiting from every gallon of gas, Americans buy, are fundi muslims.

Who are, in fact, exactly the ones doing the “honor killings”.

We need to stop buying oil from Arabs.

NOW!

Well, you have glommed onto a thread pertaining to muslim “honor killings”, and injected the company line about oil imports.

I’m not questioning your honesty, but I do wonder why you’re so quick to try to change the subject from the FACT every time any American buys gas...

We are funding terrorists.

I agree with you. We should be producing more of our own so we can get by with that plus what we can import from non-muzzie countries. However, until that happens we are stuck with the status quo, like it or not.

Skip the “however”.

Just skip it.

We have done more in the past.

We need to do this NOW.

It is past time.

This thread is about muzzie honor killings in Pakistan. Pakistan does not have any oil. They do have too many fundamentalist muzzies, that’s for sure.

Until we stop funding this evil with our oil imports,

The topics are intertwined.

Now please stop making excuses.

THIS MUST STOP.

I will not calm down.

I am infuriated.

It is long, long past time for America to stop “globalizing”.

This nonsense, which I’m sorry to say is driven recently by Republican Bush, is destroying America.

It’s stupid. Now, please don’t patronize me. And stop making excuses for selfish, unpatriotic maroons.

Thanks.

I wrote this a few months back and I wish all Americans enamored with diversity and multiculturalism would read it.

“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”

I’m sorry, but most Arabs ARE tribal islamic bastards.

Arab so-called Christians are just as violently anti-semitic as their Arab muslim counterparts (Dr. George Habash and Dr. Hanan Ashrami, anyone?)

Paki muslims are regarded by Arab muslims as inferior. Therefore Pakis try harder to live up to the brutish standards set by their Arab muslim brethren.

They are all moral savages. To h-ll with all of them.

This isn’t a Muslim thing. India has a similar custom.

Actually, this is Pakistan, which isn’t a Arab country. In fact, the people are similar to those found in India, in fact, some ethnic groups are found in both countries. Also, I don’t believe that Pakistan has oil.
