Afghanistan: girls sprayed with acid by anti-education, pro-Taleban nutcases

[Aldebaran]

Gotta love religion haven't you. Beaheadings, acid facials, abortion clinic bombings, shootings and repression all round.

Good point! I'm going to throw acid over my daughter before her teacher can learn her one other thing...


Oh wait...
Sorry, can't do that, and not only because I am her father etc.. etc...
Even if all that wasn't the case and I was a child-hating lowlife, I can't do that because it would be violating the commands of my religion.
I really hope you are not too disappointed now.

salaam.

You're all going to think I'm nuts for asking this question, but I'm going to give it a shot anyway:

Why haven't women started their own terrorist group? Men would have reacted with violence over this long ago if it were them. Likely they would have lynched a few of the perpetrators and been done with it.*

Feel free to slag me now...



* I'm not advocating this just wondering at the difference.

Because the system has screwed women down so thoroughly?

um, please correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't it like that in the UK, the US and most of Europe up to 100 years ago???

Well, erm, yeah.

Absolutely not, free education to both sexes started in Scotland in the late 1500s.

Just to finish of this thread, ten people have been arrested in connection with this incident.

Good news. Hope they got the right people.
Any loon that could do this to young girls deserve whatever they get.

You have a good point, but don't they have brothers to protect them? Not everyone can agree with this, I'm sure. (Mine would have laid anyone out who so much as touched me--yes, different culture entirely.)

Often it appears to be the brother(s) who point the finger or pull the trigger, or this at least seems to be the case in honour killings in Germany and The Netherlands which IMO is a different aspect of the same problem.
