@OVERCAPITALIZE islam DOES NOT promote or allow violence against women. what you see here is merely culture. these people are ignorant and don't know the true meaning of islam. they call themselves muslim, but they are contradicting the principles of islam. why? because they're IGNORANT

@MrKiRKAKALAN God save all the women around the world, who are treated by some men like property.

@G58 Islam does not advocate this, men do! Take it from me, this kind of thing doesn't just happen in Afghanistan, men abuse women like this all around the world!

Sold at 12, raped at 13, burned at who can tell what age - for what? Stop displaying this poor woman and treat her. Then shoot the retarded muslim bastard that did it. Why are we so afraid to say out aloud what the real problem is? Islam advocates this abuse. It's not racist and it's not wrong to tell the truth.
