Pakistani woman, 19, sentenced to die 'after being raped at gunpoint' A woman raped by her cousin is sentenced to death, because . . . Islam, I guess. Sorry, this is not a superior culture, or even an adequate one, this is a culture of inbred misogyny. More below. "A 19-year-old woman has been sentenced to death in Pakistan after she accused her cousin of raping her at gunpoint.
The woman said she was asleep at her family home in Rajanpur, in the country's central Punjab province, when the attack happened. She reported the crime to the local panchayat, a tribal court that operates outside the official justice system in remote areas of the country, but was told she had intentionally seduced her attacker." The rapists father was one of the members of the tribal court. "The following day the woman and her father went to the police, who have now launched an official investigation. An arrest warrant has now been issued for the members of the tribal council, and the woman taken to a refuge away from the village. Women declared Kari are often executed by their own family in so-called honour killings to restore their reputation. Another warrant has also been issued for the alleged rapist, local media reports." All I hear from muslims in the West is that they cannot fight against this, or it is a small minority, but then we find honor killings are rampant even in the west, and we also find doctors in the US mutilating their female children for fun and profit, or something. Sorry, you are not trying, get to it, or you've earned all the opprobrium you'll receive. Our patience is growing thin, you plump for terrorists, you mutilate your children, you stone to death your daughters for being raped by violent men, even relatives, you are not trying. But you can bet if you press this long enough we will, and when we try things happen. Often things which require generations of healing for the societies we do them to. Think long, and hard about how you want this to go, then act.
