Honor Rape Legitimized

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – A village council in Pakistan has permitted a landlord to rape the sister and sister-in-law of a man he accused of an illicit relationship with his daughter, police say.

The incident happened on April 30 in the small village of Donga Naich in the central province of Punjab, after a ruling by a three-men local jury, or panchayat.

“We have registered a case against all the men involved in this heinous act,” a police officer in the nearby town of Kabirwala told Reuters.

Sikander Javed, a lawyer for the women, said the influential landlord, Ghaffar, had complained to the council that his honour had been sullied when the son of a poor farmer began a relationship with his daughter.

The council members, all of them landlords themselves, ruled that Ghaffar, who uses only one name, could avenge his honour by having sex with the farmer’s daughter, who is 16, and daughter-in-law, who is 22.

The council then went to the house of the farmer, Muhammad Nawaz, and said he should send his daughter and daughter-in-law to Ghaffar’s house to seek forgiveness but did not mention their ruling, Javed said.

Later the girls were locked in a room and raped by Ghaffar while two of his male relatives stood guard and the three-member council waited outside, he said.

Words fail me.

Another fine example of the inextricable and sad link between violence, sex, and women.

I’m truly beginning to think there is nothing we can do to help those in the Mid East being victimized.

Hence a campaign to arm all Muslim women. Automatic weapons, I think … Pearl handled derringers for home wear.

Irradiation or Christenization. Anything less will avail us nothing. The only alternative is to wait for 1000 years and hope their society evolves beyond it.

Read the whole article. These guys may well end up hanging for this, as well they should (though of course they wouldn’t if they’d done the same thing in the US).

The rest of the article refers to another incident in which the rapists were sentenced to death (and are still alive while their appeals are pending) while only two of the 10 council members who authorized the rape were convicted. Those two were merely convicted for “abetting.”

the way islam treats women is deplorable. and they convert people here in the us. they actually convince women to sign up for this religion. i’m not far from advocating nuking the entire region myself.

Utterly disgusting, regardless whether the bastards hang or not. Robin’s otherwise excellent suggestion has one minor erroneous assertion: 1000 more years won’t help – they’ve evolved into this subhuman societal structure in the 1300-odd years since their prophet began molesting pre-teens.

And, as has been mentioned elsewhere (http://perfidy.org/comments.php?id=1824_0_1_0_C) there’s the minor issue of the “womb bomb” which appears to be Islam’s main weapon. Think what the effect would be, fifty years hence, if the (now armed) women of Islam were allowed control of their own uteri…

True, but then again, that’s two more death sentences that would have been handed down if the same crime had been committed here.
