Prediction: Some Muslims are going to complain that she is not a good role model because she isn't virgin.

Yep, in a religion where women are treated as chatel, she is used or damaged goods. Muslims are barbarians. I dont care if I get flamed for the generalization.

No flaming here. Barbarians is a polite term for them.

I know not all of them are barbarians,but anyone who adheres to a culture firmly rooted in the 12th century,is beyond backward. The subjugation of women is just one of the many reprehensible practices that the Islamists adhere to,glorify,enforce,and revel in. Just my opinion, but it seems to becoming more common. I used to live in the Middle East back in 1980. I knew back then this faith called Islam was trouble.

Mukhtaran Bibi...said the publicity concerning the case had "caused me great shame and anguish."

Her feelings are understandable, but there is no reason why she should feel "shame". The dishonor is neither hers nor her family's. The profound dishonor is that of the Mastoi who committed this unspeakable act. They are the scum of the earth and deserve the contempt of history and the world. They have earned it.

And--any man who would refuse to marry a woman because she is a rape victim is also deserving of contempt.

More power to her and her supporters. To those religious leaders who call rape justice they deserve criminal prosecution. To those who stood idly by, condoning it by their inaction, they deserve the public shaming that world scrutiny brings. The media and the human rights groups have done a good deed here. I hope similar attention can be focused on slavery in the Sudan.

Dr Inayatullah reported that the president was "completely horrified" by the incident and the suffering inflicted on the woman.

Yeah, sure. What he's really horrified by is the news - if the woman had quietly committed suicide, then he could go on his happy moslem way (i.e., raping, killing, and stealing).

The whole stinking village was in on the deal, not just the devout moslems rapists.

This is great..

Thrumph through adversity never ceases to amaze me.

[Jhoffa_]

LOL!

Why would she *want* to be married in a society like that? Better she remain single and sleep in a corner of the school house than endure what passes for "marriage" in a traditional Islamic-law country.

[valkyrieanne]

I agree with you entirely. Let's pray for her.

...Mukhtaran, herself an illiterate, said that she had received a cheque for Rs500,000 sent to her as 'compensation' by the president of Pakistan...

Yeah but that's about $1.50 US!

[mware]

$1.00 USD = .017 Pakistan Rs.

Mukhtaran Bibi stated yesterday that she would "ask the president for justice" because if the men who raped her were not punished, she would "be forced to consider suicide".

What a sick, sick, culture.

[COBOL2Java]

It may be noted that a 'jirga' ordered Mukhtaran Bibi be raped by four members of the Mastoi tribe as apparent punishment for the actions of her brother.

And this is the culture the Islamists desire to spread across the entire world, the world that Osama dreamt of as he snuggled close to his goat.

$1.00 USD = .017 Pakistan Rs.

Ummm...actually its 0.017 USD = 1 rupee SOURCE. In any event it was just a joke...
