Oh Dear, Oh Dear

[BlueToffee]

I have just heard on the radio news that a 25 year old pregnant woman has been stoned to death in Pakistan by her father and family because the father hadn't sanctioned the marriage.

How very, very sad for the poor woman, and how sad that such barbaric behaviour still exist in the world.

R I P dear girl.

it is i believe, the photo's had been posted, with some pixilated.

If he felt that dishonoured may I suggest his suicide as an alternative?

[ladybirder]

The father is in custody and feels no regret for the death of his daughter. On BBC News a young man being interviewed said she deserved it as she brought dishonour on her family. Yet an old man said it broad shame on Pakistan.
Broad daylight, police and others watched and did nothing. I despair.

I found that worrying too. A sign of the times?

[ladybirder]

Very worrying Naomi, seems like it's getting worse. That poor lady and her unborn child. Makes me so angry. Will they never learn?

[DaisyNonna]

Unfortunately lb I think the answer is they will never learn.

[Brenden]

They just bring their barbaric actions to our shores.

How long does it take to die from stoning ?? Poor, poor girl.

[anneasquith]

and lets not forget an unborn baby ( if the media are correct that the lady was 12weeks pregnant )

[ladybirder]

Just switched on to Ch4 News and this case was being discussed. Now I hope I've got this right and I'm sure I'll be quickly corrected if I'm wrong but CH4 is alleging that: 1. The father/family of the murdered lady had also murdered her younger sister a few years back! And 2: That the murdered lady's husband had strangled his first wife and mother of his 5 children in order to marry the second, i.e. the murdered Farzana. And I thought it couldn't get any worse!

Otherwise they are lovely people....

[pixie373]

And they call it "honour". Control freaks.

[pusskin]

Are they really human?

[askyourgran]

No pusskin they are brainwashed ignorant people.

If the religious apologists around here get wind of what you lot are saying, you're in big trouble. I was going to add a wink to that - but seriously - what's funny? :o(

[pixie373]

I'll be amazed if anybody posts in support of this.

[DaisyNonna]

What is the definition of honour?

[naomi24]

I was being facetious. Something about it has been posted in R&S - and the silence from Muslim posters and their apologists has been deafening.
