Pakistani lawmaker defends honor killings

Tribesmen bury five women alive for wanting to choose their own husbands

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - A Pakistani lawmaker defended a decision by southwestern tribesmen to bury five women alive because they wanted to choose their own husbands, telling stunned members of Parliament this week to spare him their outrage.

"These are centuries-old traditions and I will continue to defend them," Israr Ullah Zehri, who represents Baluchistan province, said Saturday. "Only those who indulge in immoral acts should be afraid."

The women, three of whom were teenagers, were first shot and then thrown into a ditch.

THE WHOLE THING

Yea horrid,

and in the meantime we have Taliban Religious Fundies here in America who think if a girl/woman is raped SHE SHOULD STILL BE FORCED TO CARRY PREGNANCY TO TERM AND HAVE THAT BABY...

and ya know thats fine because hey if they 'hot' especially,

its just so warm and fuzzy ya know cuzz its that male approval that is So important...

and What is so damn ironic about it is that,

only damn difference...from a FEMINIST perspective,

is how they enforce patriarchy.

sorry but I for one am sick to Death of religious patriarchs of all kinds...

keep your religions OUT OF OUR VAGINAS

thank you very much.

All I can say is FUCK PAKIS! In all seriousness, the worst thing the British colonial administration ever did on the Indian subcontinent (besides being there to begin with) was to allow the Moslem shitskins in the future territory of Pakistan any sort of self governance. And if you think this is a Muslim problem, Islam is NOT the problem. It is certainly PART of the problem, but the issue is much deeper, and one rooted in the Paki culture. While Pakistan is not the only Muslim country where honor killings are carried out or even condoned, there are cases of Christian Pakis committing honor killing. We should treat the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (Porkistan? Pakistain?) no better than we currently regard North Korea. (Even most of India considers Pakistan a shithole!)
