I can not tell you how tired I am of reading strident, Muslim-hating slop in the Zionist War Daily, folks. It has truly left a void in me that is filling with sadness.
Isn't that what happens when a relationship ends?
"Pakistan moves closer to banning domestic abuse; Some lawmakers fear change could weaken families" by Nahal Toosi, Associated Press | April 18, 2010
RAWALPINDI, Pakistan — For seven years, her husband taunted, threatened, and thrashed her, she says. After she filed for divorce, he struck again, throwing enough acid on her face to destroy her left eye.
Why didn’t she leave sooner? Or turn to the police for help? Zakia Perveen’s scarred lips are quick to explain: She would have become a pariah in her conservative Pakistani town of Jhelum.
“People don’t appreciate women who go to police stations,’’ the 38-year-old says. “I just thought it was my destiny, my fate.’’
Not that I want to minimize the treatment or excuse it; however, she would have been better off if a missile had just hit the house and obliterated the guy.
Rights advocates hope a proposed law banning domestic violence will chip away at such attitudes, giving women a more even playing field and bringing Pakistan in line with a growing number of developing nations that have outlawed spousal abuse.
Starting to get that old agenda-pushing feeling.
And since I'm reading it in my agenda-pushing paper....
But Islamist lawmakers in Parliament are objecting, claiming the law could tear apart the social fabric by undermining families.
Oh, yeah, there go those Islamists again! They love whipping them women and drinking blood! Bomb the s*** out of 'em and liberate those women from their men -- and everything else. They would all be better off for it, right?
Violence against women is a widespread phenomenon in Pakistan, a Muslim-majority nation of 175 million where most people are poor, only half the adults can read, and extremist ideologies, including the Taliban’s, are gaining traction.
Wow, LOOK at the Zionist MSM RIP into PAKISTAN!
Do they put women and children under siege like Israel? Do they drop bombs and missiles on them like USrael?
Oh, they are the people who LIVE THERE, is that what you said?
In 2008, there were at least 7,571 incidents of acid attacks, rapes, spousal beatings, and other violence against women, according to The Aurat Foundation, a women’s rights group. Because the group relied mostly on media reports, the figure is probably a vast undercount.
Well, AmeriKa is the world leader, so -- as with torture -- I must abstain from comment.
Other surveys have shown that up to 80 percent of wives in rural parts of Pakistan fear physical violence from their husbands, while 50 percent of women in urban areas admit their husbands beat them, according to a 2009 State Department report on Pakistan.
Can I stop now, readers?
“It happens even in good families — wealthier families,’’ says Yasmeen Rehman, the sponsor of the bill now stuck in a committee in Parliament. “In the rural areas, it’s almost like a habit for the men.’’
Oh, this is really starting to piss me off.
This is the Globe shit swill I'm given on a Sunday morning?
I noticed Israel makes a habit of drawing Muslim blood every couple of years or so -- when they aren't sipping Palestinians dry on a daily basis.
The bill lays out a broad definition of domestic violence beyond assault, including emotional abuse, stalking, and wrongful confinement. Depriving a spouse of money or other resources needed to survive is also considered a violation.
WTF?
WHO is BEHIND this bill, and do I really want to know the answer!!
The bill strives to cover everyone in a household, including elderly parents, children, and husbands. It also sets up local “protection committees,’’ which must include women and are empowered to file complaints on behalf of victims....
Under current Pakistani law, women could turn to anti-assault statutes, but unless they are severely beaten, such claims are hard to prove, activists say. Police rarely interfere in domestic matters and often do not take women seriously.
Oh, so your police are like our police, 'eh, Pakistan?
Most women are unwilling to report on a family member, especially if he is the breadwinner, and they give in to societal pressure to put up with the abuse.
Oh, so your women are like our women, 'eh, Pakistan?
It is one of the many paradoxes in a country that has tried to blend Islamic strictures with a more secular legal tradition inherited from the British, a place where a woman has served as prime minister and yet militants regularly torch girls’ schools.
Are you sure it was them?
And WTF?
"handful of girls’ schools the Taliban permitted"
When "they" were not burning them down, huh? Sigh. I don't think it was them at all anymore.
“Laws are very good, but unless and until you change the mindset of the people, things won’t change,’’ said Nayyar Shabana Kiyani, who has worked on the legislation as part of The Aurat Foundation.
One person these women are working hard to persuade is a leading Islamist lawmaker, Maulana Muhammad Khan Sherani.
In a lengthy interview, Sherani said domestic violence was not a big problem in Pakistan until advocacy groups appeared and created the “issue’’ of women’s rights.
Oh, REALLY?

Yeah, that last ladies group IS FOR the ESCALATIONS, can you believe it?
Because of this, he explained, women became “contenders’’ to men in the public realm, and were no longer content in the home. The new law led to more divorce and disrupted family life by allowing police and other authorities to interfere, he said.
Oh, I think the LADY LAWMAKER is ON TO SOMETHING there!
What a SMART WOMEN (for a Muslim, of course)!!!
“We oppose this law because it is not the solution — rather it is a possible cause of more chaos in society,’’ he said. The solution, he suggested, was striving for a truer Islamic society.
Yeah, SHE GETS IT as I am sure MOST Pakistanis do!!
Besides, LOOK at MY STINKING CESSPOOL of a CULTURE to see what awaits your society down that road.
Why do you think Muslims and their strong family structures are being bombed anyway?
Pretty obvious you can't just infiltrate and destroy the moral underpinnings so the culture and people must be wiped out.
Pakistan is behind many other countries when it comes to banning domestic violence.
So let's flog 'em with a lash!
Among the growing number of developing nations that have passed laws against domestic violence are Bangladesh, Indonesia, and India, all of which have substantial Muslim populations.
Zakia Perveen is supportive of the bill, though no law will restore her face to what it was....
That gets you back to the lead-in, doesn't it?
