Re: Young girls and women buried alive. PPP Minister involved and Senator defends the
I don't even think the Islamic right is supporting these crimes. Quite honestly, honor killings stem from a barbaric pre-Islamic past in present-day Pakistan, which we have, in our blindness and ignorance, failed to stamp out.
Yes, the two pro-honor killing bros need to be stamped out of their seats, but furthermore, there needs to be serious repercussions. Shouldn't it be a crime to support such killings? If we allow people to state these comments publicly without some sort of punishment, then this jahaaliyat will only continue. Hang one of these anti-female human rights men by the *alls, then you watch how seedhay saadhay Pakistani men become. All this "its our culture" will be flushed down the drain. Sadly, the governmnet doesn't see the need to seriously punish these guys for their behavior.
And as for Zardari, what do you expect from a third-class aadmi who used to run a cinema theatre in Karachi before he married BennyZir.
