stoning-of-soraya-1

By: Asian Human Rights Commission

Arifa, a mother of two, has been stoned to death on the orders of Panchayat (a tribal court) for possessing a cell phone. She was executed on 11 July in the district of Dera Ghazi Khan in Punjab province. The victim was stoned to death by her uncle and relatives on the orders of Panchayat after she was found to have a mobile phone.

 

According to media reports her uncle, cousins and other relatives threw stones and bricks at her until she died. She was buried without informing anyone. Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against the Panchayat but no one has been arrested. She was buried in a desert far away from her village and nobody (not even her children) was allowed to participate in the funeral. Her husband is unknown.

She is great researcher

 

Dude comment on the horror of this and do not step around it. You are quick to attribute all sorts of evil to a race to excuse the death of a boy I am interested in your analytic insights here.

 

As a prod, given you seem to think what others do adhere to those who are of that community; what do you have to say for the Muslim ethos of the community in Pakistan? Note it is also a panchayat, an Indian "federal" village structure where Representative put forward by leading families stand for the community. I know you would not answer because as usual prejudices have no rationale except the latent bias of the individual.

 

By the way, let me give you my opinion; this is horrible, barbaric and backward. It is not religious on any level but a tribal belief that is grounded in paternalistic dominance of the family. That these brutalities exist and continue to exist is a matter of continued stiffing of women's voices. This stiffing is also an outgrowth of modern Islam in many places  and clearly seen in Guyana where Urdu based practices of open societies are being replaced with insular backward seeking whabbism where our local Muslims think they are going back to the true nature of Islam bu forcing women to don full head anonymizing cover. Everytime I see a Guyanese gathering of Muslims where s woman is in full tent like cover I think what *******s. Maybe stoning will come soon also.
