Nice. Real nice.

The decapitation of a young woman who resisted being forced into prostitution by her own family has led to the arrests of four Afghans, and shocked a country that has seen its share of violence over decades of war.

Mahgul, a 25-year-old newlywed, was murdered in Herat, a region of western Afghanistan where attacks against women have been on the rise, Afghan police told journalists. Her killing this past week was particularly disturbing because her body was found decapitated outside her marital home.

Police said the arrests on Saturday include her mother-in-law, father-in-law, and her husband.

At least 700 cases of violence against Herat women have been documented in the past year, according to estimates by the Department of Women’s Affairs in Herat. Cases include domestic violence, torture, murder and physical mutilation.

Sayed Abdul Qadir Rahimi, regional director for the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission in Western Afghanistan, told NBC News that violence against women was on the rise and that countless more cases go unreported.

One of the many good things about Obama's 2008 election was that it made Pugs do a 180 on the Afghan war, instantly turning against it because Obama was for it. We welcome you.

did you have a point, or that was subconsious attempt to diffuse the threat GOP talibanism constitutes to women?

indeed, and she was one of the first ones here declaring that he needed to get us outta there - something I never read while Bush was at the helm.

Then regrettably, they declared it something like treason when he started talking about a withdrawal date, because that would embolden the terrorists or somesuch.

A lot of them seem to suffer from the "any way"/both ways" Romnesia syndrome. It must be a communicable disease, or something caused by conservatism.

Yup. Willard incoherently both supports and opposes Obama's Afghan drawdown plan.

Herat is a western City in Afghanistan....They speak Dari...and do much trading and business with Iran....The Taliban is weak to non-existent there..These atrocities are more about "tribal Culture" than anything associated with Islam.....Unfortunately much of Afghanistan is still stuck in their old tribal ways...The US invasion and occupation has done little to change it....I'll be happy when US forces are removed from the country...The sooner the better

What does the content of the top post have to do with Obama, or "pugs", or politics?

Not a damn thing.

Agreed, Barb.

Thank you, BP. That's really all that needed to be said....

Thank you irrationality of religion. Having spent a week in Dubai watching the interplay between "uppper class" Islam and "working class" hinduism....and the irrationality in both - I am ever more convinced that the problem is religion itself.

Religion is a bitch, yet our nation is bound to respect it.

how you plannin on doin that???

 

[zzigzzag]

Then why did you post it on this exclusively political forum?

You're so transparent with your cutesy little baiting techniques.

These people are ing nuts and need to be burned out like the cockroaches they are.

Who "needs" to carry out this purging? A band of rogue wingers? The Mormons? Surely, it's not an allusion to your vision of a viable American foreign policy....you know, since your post on this political board is so apolitical.

 

[Mytzlplk]

indeed, postings of this type from her are and have been exclusively about muslim or black violence for years now, like whitey is as pure as the driven snow or something, and like it's not reasonable to draw conclusions about the motivations for such.
