| 'Honour-killings bill too weak' |

| #1 Yep, Ms Jalal, you're right - across the board. It's nearly a miracle that the PakiWaki Parliament passed a bill with any intent to slow this variety of atrocity. But, since it is actually Islam and Shari'a behind this insanity, it will not be outlawed, or if outlawed (with a wink and a nod, doncha know), not enforced. There are atrocities committed by individuals every day - and some of the time these perps are even brought to justice. When that happens, at least, there is the chance that the perp won't be able to do it again and also the chance that the punishment deters all but those who act in a fit of rage or insanity. It eventually weans a society of certain premeditated conscious behaviors. Normally, this takes something less than 1400+ years. But, speaking of eternity, back to Islam... This is the "special" case of institutionalized insanity - dating back about 1.5 millenia, cast in amber, and practiced with aplomb and social approval... Islamic "scholars" agree that Islam is "complete" and "perfect" and "unchangable"... Gosh. That doesn't leave much room for anything, now does it? As long as there is Islam, there will be Shari'a. As long as there is Shari'a, there will be insane barabaric atrocities committed and condoned. And it won't change - no matter what the well-intentioned say. Pretty simple, that. Ms Jalal, emigrate, my friend, emigrate. |
