Women were singing and clapping
Afzal Kohistani had warned for years his life was in danger after he brought public attention to the apparent killing of women seen clapping and singing in a video of men dancing.
…
Mr Kohistani was shot dead on Wednesday in the city of Abbottabad, in north-western Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. He first emerged into the public eye in 2012 by calling for justice in a case involving his family in remote Kohistan district.
Two of his younger brothers were seen dancing in a wedding video that also showed four women singing and clapping. The four women, along with a fifth, were later killed for “breaching the honour” of their family, it is alleged.
Such “honour killings” occur regularly in Pakistan, especially in rural areas, and Mr Kohistani’s decision to expose the alleged murders sparked a blood feud, with three of his other brothers later killed.
Nothing like a pile of corpses to establish one’s “honour.”
As I have been saying for years: Islam is the world’s leading form of collective insanity.
Omar, the second leading form is being a member of the American Republican party.
Iknklast:
Yes. It is a pretty tight field, .with short odds and no firm favourite.
But India and Pakistan sit side by side against the Asian landmass, with polytheist India being an economic powerhouse, and Islamic Pakistan an economic basket case.
I put it down to the (understandable) reluctance of the imams to encourage the teaching of critical thinking skills in the education systems they control. No prizes for guessing why.
Trump in his own innocent and ignorant way, has encouraged critical thinking, right across America. From sea to shining sea.
