According to the dictates of the Religion of Peace™, she should be grateful that she wasn't killed:

Sehar Muhammad Shafi, 24, has fled her home city of Karachi with her husband and two young daughters after being attacked and raped for changing her faith.

Should we invade Pakistan because it's
people ae barnaric and uncivilized?

No. Why do you ask?

If this were to happen in the US, would it be treated as a "common rape" or would it be a hate crime worthy of life imprisonment or the death penalty?

I'm guessing "common rape" rather than the brutal tactic of conquest and intimidation that it is, but I don't count, I don't even know where le circ is or how to spell it.

Of course, keep in mind that, having been raped, she has dishonored her family and they have to cut off her head in order to restore it.

anonymous,
we DON'T, as a country, invade other countries because of a few, or even many, street level, jerky hyper-religious types. Even if they rape and murder.

We DO invade countries where the murdering raping thugs are in charge, regardless of their religion, or lack there of. Especially if the murdering raping scum is through thought and deed and declaration attackinng us and our allies.

Pick up almost any history book and see if that isn't the way our country has been.

I am sure I won't convince you that's what we are doing now, so I won't try. But do get that history lesson, please.

Hey Anonymous,
I'm curious. Would barnaric people be considered barnarians?

How do you account for such barnarism?

Sort of like the pirates of the Barnary Coast?

I do think we should invade countries that commit acts of Barney-ism. A despicable lot those Barnerians are.

"Hey Kids, There's a tactical GPS guided munition aimed right at my forhead. Can you say 'Deflagration'?"

Religion of Peace (tm) - is that Christianity 2.0 you are referring to?

You know, blessed are the warmakers, and all that stuff?

No, I don't think so, Shubber (not that I'm a Christian). Could you elaborate?

That is, do you have a point?

I have issue with religion in general. Seems the only group that doesn't want to blow the other guys up are the Buddhists.

Is it just me or are there an inordinate number of violations of the Religion of Peace requiring that women be raped?

Moving the goal posts. A lot of people in the west are starting to agree with this logic. How can you have outrage at rape, which appears to be common in the Islamic world, when stonings, beheadings and amputations are also common. When rape is getting of easy people should realize things are not well.

Where are the women's rights activists?
