Saturday, August 30th 2008, 10:41 PM ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - A Pakistani lawmaker defended a decision by northwestern tribesmen to bury five women alive because they wanted to choose their own husbands, telling stunned members of Parliament to spare him their outrage. "These are centuries-old traditions, and I will continue to defend them," Israr Ullah Zehri, who represents Baluchistan province, told The Associated Press Saturday. "Only those who indulge in immoral acts should be afraid." The women, three of whom were teenagers, were first shot and then thrown into a ditch. They were still breathing as mud was shoveled over their bodies, according to media reports, which said their only "crime" was that they wished to marry men of their own choosing. Zehri told a packed and stunned Parliament on Friday that Baluch tribal traditions helped stop obscenity and then asked fellow lawmakers to stop making such a fuss about it. Several lawmakers stood up in protest, describing the so-called honor killings as "barbaric." Human rights groups accused local authorities of trying to hush up the executions, which according to local media reports and activists took place a month ago in Baba Kot, a remote village in Jafferabad district.

fuck you...if someone hit my mother i would kill that bitch...even if i have to die....we don't hit women...as if they were animals...this shit in Islam make sick...i would kill each one of those parasites
Look at all the islamic apologists try to defend religion. Just like Christianity your religion is responsible for pain, backwardness and intolerance.
those defending beating of women are retarded That's true. They have the same twisted interpretation of Islam as European priests burning women had of Christianity, during the inquisition in European dark ages, or Americans lynching what they thought were witches. What helps end this injustice if for most of you commenting on this to stop ignoring the women activists on the very same shows, denouncing the beating of women. It's colonial, and a sabotage of these women, for you to deny their work.
a beating is a beating , is a beating. there is no difference fuck wit. what an uneducated bunch of retarded fuck wits. they deserve to die. how dare any man hit a free thinking woman. if you treat your wife like a beast then go marry a donkey and fuck that instead. rise up women of Islam. Islam = justifying beatings and killing of women. your all barbarians who follow another barbarian= Mohammed. the pedophile.
Thank you alankarmisra :) Actually I thought the video is pretty ok, in the way that it shows both kinds of men/interpretation.. it only made the wrong order by showing the bad side first, so most ppl either dont finish watching the video or already have a biased opinion after the first half so they cannot neutrally listen to the second half, thus such anti-Islamic comments PS I'm not a Muslim myself ;o) Just felt to defend them after so many unreasonable comments..
