Afghan women in jail for being raped

I disagree.

Mainly because of Australia's history with Afghanistan.

When Aussie troops entered Afghanistan on the latest excursion they were greeted nicely because they recognised Australian from rice we exported there. (Yes we export rice to Asia and Camels to Arabia).

I don't think there is any difference between peoples around the world. They want full bellies and to talk away the time. However there are some who will use whatever system is at hand to gain more and more power to themselves, they will use politics both reglious and secular to secure a position.

and just accross the border in Pakistan:

"Pakistani women buried alive 'for choosing husbands'"

Nice huh. What a waste;

edit, I screwed up. No pic of these particular ladies. Is culture, in Pakistan they have it. You just have to respect that, all cultures are equal after all.

What is the point of that link, Furunculu5? That Balochistan is backwards?

It is the original breeding ground of the Taliban. To give an idea of its remoteness, it is where the Pakistanis tested their nuclear weapons.

the aim of the thread appears to be to expose backward cultural practices, and the link i posted was on a related topic (treatment of women) in a neighbouring part of the world (Pakistan). :)
