#1 To be fair, the lady doctor and the tribe that threatened to murder her are ethnic Sindhis. Moderate religous wise, unfortunately they are just as afflicted by tribalism and feudalism.

#2 Yeah , it's interesting ! Trial By Fire ! You walk on hot coals and blister wounds on feet ascertain the guilt compounded ! Well , what other Customs one think of this time ?! Joan Collins standing barefoot at Heathrow with 5 inches of barefeet ! Now , that is an oucher, if you're a poster child, for Barefoot Maniacs ! We hope justice is served on those there !! Not the Joan Caper ! Nice interesting toenails , Joan !!!

#4 Afaik the Pashtun thing to involves killing the raper. The beginning of the carreer of Mullah Omar involved rescuing two girls who had been kidnapped by a local warlord, hanging the bastard and bringing the girls to their families.

In most other parts of Muslim world they don't seem to have similar commitment to punishing rapers, only for killing the raped girls.

#5
The story is that Mullah Omar hanged a local warlord who had raped some boys, not girls.

If the warlord had raped some girls, then Mullah Omar would have hanged the girls, not the warlord.

Such is the will of Allan, as revealed to Muhammad (PBUH) by the Angel Gabriel.

#6 I wouldn't swear that the girls weren't killed later by their families (like it would hgave happenned in Turkey) but they were girls not boys and in an unrelated case I can certify first hand that when they heard about a girl having beeen sentenced to be raped by a tribal tribunal in some part of Pakistan the reaction in a Pahstun internet forum was of uninamous repulsion: there were Afghans and Pakistani pashtuns, some were pro-taliban, some were for Pashtun law (those who say: we need no stinking sharia: this is Arab) and some were pro-democracy. Everyone was appalled
and I doubt anyone of them would have spared the perpetrators lives.
