Because it stops at outrage. Where is the mass political movement? Where is the challenge to both Islamists and the Pakistani Establishment? The mistake you're making is thinking that you have to submit to the system. You're not willing to acknowledge that the system is flawed and a new construct needs to be erected.
Do you think I'm crazy or selfish? It isn't MY people who die by the tens of thousands while politicians alternate between yelling and purring without actually doing; it's yours.
The mistake YOU'RE making is that we're on the ******* internet. What the hell are a bunch of people sitting in front of their computers going to do?
The fact that you're trying to politicize this situation, especially when this is an issue every country faces, and then bringing up terrorist militant actions, proves to me that beyond a doubt that you're only doing this to push your own selfish political views on people of this forum.
This has never stopped with outrage and you know it. Don't ignore facts, don't ignore history and certainly don't turn this social issue into a political one.
At first you say
Rape may be against the law in Pakistan but we're not talking about "law" here

What sort of logic is this? It makes no sense what so ever. Usually, social and political issues can overlap, but in this case, it is only a social issue. There is only so much political parties and protests can do. What must be done is social change, WHICH I HINTED AT AND YOU PROMPTED TO IGNORE.
It's always frustrating to talk to you, because every time I do, you always end up making some sort of comment that either contradicts your previous ones, or makes no logical sense whatsoever.
If you want to have a direct statistical basis for my statement (number of unreported cases in pakistan vs uk) I agree I dont have them, probably we will never know.
However I have certain indication of why I am right.
Anybody who wants to first tell his parents/male senior members that she is raped will first think twice because she knows her life will be changed forever.
Next her parents/male elders might try to suppress it due to fear that their daughter will never get married / they might get harassed if the rapist is in powerful position in village/town
If the rapist is within biradri, that is another problem.
Next in police station, they might be persuaded not to file report for their own good.
Only those who cross these hurdles, make the statistics we see.
I'm not saying that unreported cases don't exist, of course they do, but I always question people when they say that one nation has more unreported cases of one thing or another than another nation.
