‘Shaming’ her in-laws costs 19 year old her nose, ears
“It felt like there was cold water in my nose, I opened my eyes and I couldn’t even see because of all the blood,” she remembers.It was an act of Taliban justice for the crime of shaming her husband’s family.
Say it again with me: “Religion of Peace.”
fishbowl-soul: this is a terribly cruel act. however, just because some people of a certain religion are not ‘peaceful’ doesn’t mean they are ALL like that. I am friends with a lot of people who are Islamic and they are some of the most respectful, gentle and generous people I know.(via thesilentdove)
Also this isn’t an Islamic crime: it is a crime of traditionalism, and the culture of the Taliban, which is extremist and NOT a good example of Islamic culture.
Sorry. I understand how easy it is to equate ‘Taliban’ with ‘Normal, everyday Islam’.
This type of inbred, cultural mysogeny has GOT TO STOP!!
There is NEVER justification for this type of abuse of women by men.
Can you tell I’m ANGRY?!
Two wrongs don’t make a right but give me a sharp knife & the men who did this & I’d be SORELY tempted!
