Afghan woman slain after giving birth to girl

Another horrific case of violence against women in Afghanistan came to light Monday when authorities reported that a husband in a northern province, angry that his wife had not yet borne him a son, strangled her soon after she gave birth to their third child.

Domestic abuse is commonplace in Afghanistan, but women’s rights groups have grown increasingly anxious amid efforts by the U.S. administration and the government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai to embark on peace negotiations with the Taliban movement.

In the Kunduz case, however, the alleged killer was affiliated with an anti-Taliban militia commander, and local police said he was the leader of an armed gang that has been engaged in various criminal activities.

The woman’s brother told police his sister had tried to get Mohammad to give up his gang activity and get a regular job, and that Sthorai’s husband and mother-in-law had berated and abused her after the births of her first two girls, with beatings escalating after the latest birth.

Ask cultures are equal.
Ask any Harvard Anthropology professor/feminist and they'll be sure to tell you that the American patriarchy is far worse than this.

Some one should point out that he killed the wrong person.

It's the male contribution that determines the childs gender.

He was the "failure".

These six things does the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood.
A heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that are swift in running to evil,
A false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brethren. Proverbs 6:16-19

The “religion of peace”? Sickening.

These guys are f’ing ANIMALS that should be neutered - slowly and painfully.

...the American patriarchy is far worse than this.

Sure, that's why American husbands have, for generations, been portrayed in Life of Reilly, All in the Family, Everybody Loves Raymond, ad infinitum as slobs and/or dunces.

And of course even that determination is not an act of will, unless it's that of the sperm cell.

So the ignorant savage punished his wife, because he can only ‘plant bad seeds’ instead of impregnating her with male-producing sperm, and that is somehow her fault.

I’m certain that MadMo had an explanation of sex determination of babies, just like he did for where the sun goes at night; and how one wing of a fly carries the cure for the diseases carried on the other wing...and how Jooooooos descended from pigs and apes.

The ignorant a$$hole should have killed himself. It is he who determines the sex of the child.

Muslims are reasonable people. If she would have just given him a boy he would not have had to strangle her. /sarc
