Gang-rape of teenager ordered as punishment for brother's sins

A teenage girl was gang-raped in central Pakistan last month as "punishment" meted out by a tribal jury for her brother's alleged affair with a woman of a higher tribe, police said.
A Panchayat, or tribal jury, ordered four men, including one of the jurists, to rape the 18-year-old girl on June 22 in the village of Meerwala.
Meerwala lies 610 kilometres south-west of the capital Islamabad.
District police chief Malik Saeed Awan said authorities were informed of the publicly-ordered gang-rape several days after the incident.
He said four men took turns to sexually assault the girl inside a room. She was then ordered to return home naked before 1,000 onlookers.
The rape was to avenge the "insult" caused to a family of the Mastoi tribe by the girl's brother's alleged "illicit affair" with a woman of a higher social standing.
The girl and her brother were from the lower Gujjar tribe.
The Panchayat had threatened that all women in the accused's family would be raped unless the 18-year-old submitted herself to the public gang rape.
Awan said police were taking action against members of the Panchayat.
Lawyers visiting the tribal area on Sunday urged the authorities to prosecute the rapists and the jury.

And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. Genesis 19:30-38

If we do not arm our soldiers properly, this sh*t may be true before another decade is out, especially with the whining, lying Tommy D. and Dickie G. (regardless of what they say for the cameras) still with power.
Maybe these socialist idiots think the military is an ethereal power that may overcome any attack, whether from within or outside of our borders.
Or maybe they think we really have the power of the Roswell UFO and the Republicans are keeping it to themselves...
Hello?
Hello,... Art Bell, this is Tom Daschle and, well, COULD WE TALK????

There's no match between the technological and industrialized United States and any other dirt-poor country in the Middle East or South Asia. If we are to suffer and fall it will not be from treachery or attack, but from rebellion, laziness, callousness, licentiousness, and faithlessness.

Not only is it illogical, it is unjust, and goes against the grain of conservatism whereby each and every individual is judged solely by their merits, by the content of their character, and not by their skin color or membership in some larger group. CJ you amaze me. Never did I expect to see such an individualist outlook emanating from your fingertips. Will you soon be standing side by side with us in the homo-bashing threads insisting that just because some homos are child abusers, that we shouldn't condemn all homosexuals as child abusers???
As far as religions and cultures go, I'd have to say most believers of, say, Christianity or Islamism, are better than their religion. The Bible and the Koran are very brutal. Most believers have far gentler personalities, are far more forgiving, and are far more tolerant than the religious founders / scripture writers were.

I have never unjustly claimed that. But a thief who only robs the same store and who donates to charity is still a thief.

Don't worry.

Quick, how many rifles were developed by Muslims? How many planes? How many grenades? How many books, other than Mohammed stories? How many antibiotics? How many disease cures? How many operas? How many symphonies? How many DNA sequences? How many satellites? Hmmm ... kind of difficult to design and build planes, grenades, satellites, space shuttles, etc. without algebra, isn't it? Algebra was invented in the Middle East, and they call 'em "Arabic numerals" for a reason. It wouldn't be much of a modern world without disciplines such as astronomy, optics, geology. botany, and medicine either. Seminal work in each of those disciplines was done in the Middle East. Let's go even farther back - how many of these wonderful inventions would have been invented in the US if somebody hadn't had an astrolabe and a magnetized needle to navigate the ships that brought our ancestors here in the first place? My history books say that the astrolabe and the concept of the magnetized needle (better known as a compass) were also invented in the Middle East (the magnetized needle came via Arabia from China).
And, in the case of the IQ of some of the posters in this thread, the Arabic invention of the concept of the number 0 is quite fitting.

In terms of their accuracy, the measurement being the Koran itself?
No, I cannot.

She has answered your question you hounded her impetuously with. Thanks, but don't worry about me. One of my hobbies is deflating windbags, and there's a bumper crop to choose from in this thread.

All cultures are equally valid.TM
To: Cultural Jihad
For all your ranting about Islam, feminism and humanist moral-liberalism have oppressed Western women greatly; indeed they have willingly oppressed themselves more than any imagined Muslim ever has. Yeah, I was just reading about how a Washington court sentenced the sister of a guy who slept with a rich woman... the Washington court ordered 4 men to rape her (at age 18), then made her walk naked back to her house.
All of those liberal American women are forced to dress how they please, work where they please, marry who they please...
That post of yours is a classic example of how your venomous hatred of supposed liberals warps your opinion of cultures in general.
How many Western women want to move to Pakistan?
How many Paki women would give their left hand to move to America? Do the friggin' math, and stop with the "Western women are enslaved -- Islamic women have it all right" BS.

Time for a history lesson. The Muslims enslaved, forcefully converted, or killed the Arabs. These inventions were done by the Arabs, not Muslims. The Muslim religion is a new religion.
To: Cultural Jihad
You can't be a religious Muslim and be freedom loving( of course you hate freedom yourself your always on the side of bigger government so you can't really understand that) a Muslim has a duty to try to impose his faith and the shariah worldwide by any means neccasary. The whole Muslim world outside of Turkey( in Turkey the army kills fundamentalist and simply declares elections that fundis win invalid thats why Turkey works) is a basketcase some more than others.

The Muslims enslaved, forcefully converted, or killed the Arabs. Oh, I get it. That big pile of sand called "Saudi Arabia" is a Potemkin village, full of Muslims disguised as Arabs. Well, the things you learn on FR ...
