Caution: video contains graphic scenes of disfigurement.
Nicholas Kristof's video (click on permalink) chronicle's the ferocious and vicious attacks by Muslim men on Muslim women, often their wives, in Pakistan. A womens rights group has documented thousands of these attacks since 1994.
While not unique to Muslims, this terrible and not infrequent treatment of women is an outgrowth of their interpretation of Islam. Fundamentalist Muslim men hold their women in low esteem and generally treat them as second class citizens.
What a terrible tragedy! Another reason that Radical Islam and the savage terrorism it spawns must be countered at all levels from war to education. The culture spawned by this brand of Islam cannot and should never be condoned.
Hats off to Kristof for bringing it to light.
