Gang-Raping Muslims, No Big Deal 'Pakistan lifted today a travel restriction on Mukhtar Mai, the woman who was gang-raped in 2002 on the orders of a village council to punish an act attributed to her brother.' Just wondering, does the Koran teach this? I didn't see where the village council was arrested. Yeah right. 'The gang-rape of Ms. Mukhtar, now in her early 30's, was ordered in June 2002 by a council in Meerwala, a dusty farming village in the southern part of Punjab Province. The rape was decreed as a punishment after her younger brother was accused of having illicit sexual relations with a woman of a rival tribe, the Mastoi.' What happened was, the rapists were let go, and there were no consequences for the village council. Silly westerner to even think that there would be a negative consequence. How many Muslims are there that are still living in the 12th Century already? Pakistan Lifts Travel Ban on Rape Victim. Pakistan lifted a travel restriction on Mukhtar Mai, the woman who was gang-raped in 2002 on the orders of a village council to punish an act attributed to her brother. By SALMAN MASOOD.

Democrats Strong On Milqtoast I understand perfectly now. Democrats rally around Dr. Dean. They say they need a strong leader, one who will strongly represent them. But for the U.N.? Certainly not John Bolton. They want a milqtoast liberal, or at the very least someone like Jimmy Carter who will kowtow to the U.N. and Old Europe and put their priorities ahead of our own. In other words, no one Bush would pick. 1:09:10 AM    comment [] trackback []
