[Asifchitrali2008]

Its my request to peoples of Pakistan to comeout and dismiss these kind order in our beautifull country.Islamic Law never say to do like this, just comeout and kill those peoles who become against the Islamic Law.

I am Pakistani and i accept that there are still cruel people in our soceity ..unfortunallty , they are not aware about Islam.that is the main reason , they are commiting sins in a villager and uneducated society. Islam gives better protection to woman than any other religion.

You can find here people with sick mind, they are just saying that this is a fault of shriya Law, even Pakistan is not using Islamic law anymore,thatswhy we are still confused in our Islamic country.

And what exactly should such a comparison do? Avenge something? You have a stone-age mentality and your comment shows that you don't care about the abuse of those women. Be ashamed of yourself. Du blöde scheiss möngel!
