Then it's just those women who step out of line as far Islamists are concerned? And that's OK, is it ?
Denial, a river in Egypt.
Anyway it can be countered with ease, after all who do these Indians think they are, with all their problems -- when we point to their problems, all the problems in Pakistan become, as if my magic, solved.
After all, in Pakistan there are women physicians, pilots, etc; -- see how easy t was to wash away the awful reality that 3 women were abducted and subjected to "tir baran" - a rain of bullets because they worked to raise awareness.
And really, who needs awareness, what's it for? other than to create problems.
Pakistanis are besieged - what with Indians on one hand and Muslims on the the other - a little show of sympathy for the terminally inactive, please.
Firstly,
I truly do not understand where you are going with that? Please do elaborate...
Also...
3 Women were abducted in an area where Men who claim to be Muslim have no respect for the role that women play, perhaps you did not read my original post and just took the excerpt from the rebuttal.
What happened was barbaric and if you somehow feel I condone the actions of those lunatics or am some sort of sympathiser then my friend you are surely wrong. I was merely defending the pride of my nation, I have lived and studied here so I know the ground realities and whilst they may not be perfect they are not as bad as some would think.
Things taken out of context can be manipulated into anything you wish, what is really sad is that perhaps you did not read my first post and just used the some statement from the second one to form a counter argument which i don't really see the need for.
Why?
Because not all women in Pakistan are oppressed and that is the truth, women are respected and loved, we have cultural problems but that is not because of
ISLAM rather it is due to cultural "norms".
Sure, compared to the west countries like Pakistan are ages behind, but that is not going to change with the flick of the switch, our women by constitution are entitled to vote, to run for president, for jobs and legal rights.
The country cannot help that because of religious and political fat cats certain elements are repressed. I have said this once and will say this again, compared to some of the countries i have been too and the ones i have seen on Discovery, Pakistan is a Cakewalk for Minorities, Women and Children.
Mashallah, we have a identity, we have a nation. It is up to every single one of us to identify and correct the wrongs in our society, but generalising and taking statements out of context and adding the spin of satire does not provide reasonable foundations for discourse or conducive dialogue.
