Remember this when the multiculturalists tell us that all societies are the same. This conduct will be allowed as long as Muslim society treats their women like property and not as full citizens.
When terror turns personal
Terrorism in this part of the world usually means bombs exploding or
hotels burning, as the latest horrific scenes from Mumbai attest. Yet
alongside the brutal public terrorism that fills the television
screens, there is an equally cruel form of terrorism that gets almost
no attention and thrives as a result: flinging acid on a woman’s face
to leave her hideously deformed.
Here in Pakistan, I’ve been
investigating such acid attacks, which are commonly used to terrorize
and subjugate women and girls in a swath of Asia from Afghanistan
through Cambodia (men are almost never attacked with acid). Because
women usually don’t matter in this part of the world, their attackers
are rarely prosecuted and acid sales are usually not controlled. It’s a
kind of terrorism that becomes accepted as part of the background noise
in the region.
