US: a violence that has become normalized.

[mazHur]

Just as "rape" is a crime and "rape culture" is when the crime is disregarded and mocked, violence against women excused is ensuring that violence will occur again. This is also why people who say “not all men” commit rape or violence against women don’t understand what it will actually take to resign these pathologies to the dustbin of history. It is a collective responsibility that men either take seriously, or risk becoming part of the problem''



The UCSB Shooting, Ray Rice and a Culture of Violence Against Women

If a mass killing perpetrated by a deeply disturbed misogynist does not make us look at how our society promotes and perpetuates violence against women, I am not sure what will. Our culture has always looked the other way or even validated gendered violence, particularly against African-American women. Yet in an era of lightning-fast cultural transmission, this historic violence seems to be both mutating and becoming more perniciously commodified before our eyes. It’s a violence that seems to exist in its own cultural category, where it is not only excused but also treated as deeply humorous—and woe to anyone who says otherwise. It’s a violence that has become so normalized, so all encompassing, that it often feels that saying or doing nothing becomes an act of complicity.

Pakistani police arrested a teacher at a Quranic school and his two friends on charges of gang raping a college student in the country's northwest, alleging he filmed the attack and may have blackmailed other victims, authorities said Wednesday.

The case against Naseer is unusual as rape cases are rarely prosecuted in Pakistan, especially when they involve religious leaders or those who teach the Quran in the Muslim nation. In March, a women set herself on fire outside of a police station in Pakistan after reporting that men tried to rape her and authorities said there wasn't enough evidence to make arrests.

A teenage victim of a gang rape in Pakistan died Friday morning, a day after she set herself on fire in front of a police station.

The young woman, a college student, self-immolated to protest the release of a man arrested in connection with her attack, her brother told Reuters.

“She was already depressed after going through the trauma, but after the release of the accused, she lost all hope of getting justice and set herself on fire,” Ghulam Shabir said.

Reuters and Dawn, a Pakistani newspaper, confirmed that Amini Bibi, 18, died Friday morning.

Four men attacked her Jan. 5 while she was on her way home from college. Police charged one man, but then released him. There was no explanation given for the police decision.

“It seems the case had not been properly investigated,” senior police officer Chaudhry Asghar told Reuters Friday.

On Thursday, she set herself on fire outside a police station near the city of Muzaffargarh in the eastern province of Punjab. A bystander captured the self-immolation on video.

“She was under our treatment but she succumbed to her wounds on Friday morning,” Muhammad Usman, a local doctor, told Reuters.

Rape in Pakistan has been notable, and continues to be a tool for suppressing women in the country.[146] One of the notable cases, in which Uzma Ayub, a 16 year old girl, was abducted by a soldier and policeman, she was repeatedly raped by several persons which included an army official and a policemen. Her brother was murdered. In one case, a teenage girl was burnt alive, as she resisted the rape.[147]

On 12 July 2013, Council of Islamic Ideology of Pakistan dismissed DNA tests as evidence for rapes, and declared that without witnesses no rapes would be recognized

Lahore: A Pakistani girl was allegedly kidnapped, forcibly married twice before being gang-raped and stripped naked to avenge her brother's elopement with a woman from the same village in Punjab province.

Sanaullah, 22, had allegedly eloped with the daughter of a man, who belongs to the Mallah caste, of the same village in Chiniot district after the families refused to marry them.

The girl's family called a Panchayat which ruled that Sanaullah's sister would have to marry Zahid Ali, brother of the girl who had eloped, the Dawn daily reported today.

After the decision of Panchayat, accomplices of Zahid kidnapped Sanaullah's sister from her house, held 'nikah' with her and divorced her after five days, the report said.

Later, the victim was forcibly married to Zahid's cousin Noor Ahmad.

Some days later, four members of Zahid's family gang-raped her and subjected her to torture.

"They stripped her naked, tied her with a tree in the village and called her parents to get their daughter back in return for their girl. The family got her back a month after her alleged kidnapping," it said.

The girl approached the Magistrate at Lalian tehsil who ordered her medical examination and registration of case.

Chiniot District Police Officer Munir Zia said a Panchayat had forced the victim to marry Zahid to avenge the act of her brother in February but neither she nor her family approached the police for registering a case.

The girl submitted an application to the police yesterday and an FIR of kidnap and rape has been registered.

Lahore: Recently, there have been protests over the rape of a five-year-old in Lahore. The girl was found at a hospital in Lahore in a critical condition. Doctors confirmed that she was savagely raped, several times and as a result her internal organs are severely damaged. The doctors had to immediately perform an emergency surgery to save her life and now she is undergoing reconstructive surgery.

The hair-raising incident grabbed public attention, igniting a campaign spearheaded by the media and rights activists to combat sexual violence against children.

"The problem lies with the investigation. On the one hand there is no commitment for investigation in our investigating authorities but on the other there is very little skill. In the case for rape, it will not happen in the public space and so the gathering of witnesses, to which our investigators limit their investigation, is not always useful in such cases. Just recently the Council for Islamic Ideology has said that use of DNA evidence in rape is not Islamic. Now these kinds of foolish and unwise trends will make the situation more worse, because that is one of the most effective methods of proving rape against somebody," said Hina.

The Hindu American Foundation (HAF) expressed shock and disbelief at the recent rape and murder of an eight year-old Hindu girl from a village in Khanpur in Pakistan’s Punjab province. Sumera Devi, who was kidnapped while playing outside her home on January 16, was found dead the next day in a nearby field.

“This type of sexual violence targeting minority women and girls occurs frequently in Pakistan and has been used as a weapon of religious subjugation,” said Samir Kalra, Esq., HAF's Director and Senior Fellow for Human Rights. “Women and girls of minority faiths remain amongst the most vulnerable segments of Pakistani society and are attacked with impunity.”

This latest incident caused considerable fear within the local Hindu community and came shortly on the heels of another rape of a 14 year-old Hindu girl in Sindh province by a Pakistan People’s Party leader.

According to Kalra, such attacks, in addition to the abductions and forced conversions of Hindu girls often occur with the complicity of the police or government authorities.

Never heard this story,,,,even if it did occur it must be an oddity. Moreover, you have no justification in comparing a poor developing country with an advanced county like America....If you do that you are acting malfidely and grudgefully. and this ain't not going to help you make a point. The thread is about America ...keep on the topic and discuss about the topic itself lest try to mislead and confound original topic with you nonsensical comparative jealousy and bigotry...


As an individual belonging to an advanced nation you ought to be ashamed of what's happening in your country and it's for you to lead a 'crusade' against those illth at home rather than peek on neighbors house and try to win the case on the demerits of others...
You have NO merit in your responses and I might decide to block you and man
from my threads. Have already given you enough warnings not to troll but you are like the big black burly ass licking dogs who have no point to make except waste my time by trolling , whining and ranting ....perpetually without any scruples......

Karachi gang rape shocks Pakistan

Karachi: A young woman was pulled out of her car and raped by four to five men in an upmarket area of Karachi, in an incident that has shaken the city and prompted the governor of Sindh province to order a top-level inquiry.

The Governor Ishrat-ul-Ibad ordered the Citizens Liason Police Cell to carry out an independent inquiry side by side with the police investigations after the rape was reported by Geo News and became a haunting news through the day.

The incident occurred late in the night on Sunday in the upmarket area of Clifton and the girl was held by the assailants for six hours before they left her near the Seaview beach area.

The episode also brought back haunting memories of a notorious rapist who used to prowl in the same area and was arrested last year, though mystery surrounds his whereabouts and fate now.

mazHur will probably deny that happened, also

I was sold every few months, recounts Pakistani woman


Islamabad: Recounting a harrowing tale of rape, torture and exploitation, a Pakistani woman who escaped after a year in captivity says she was sold to someone new every few months since being abducted by her husband's friend.

"Every few months I was sold off to someone new and eventually I even began to forget where I was," said the 45-year-old woman, who was kidnapped from Karachi and finally managed to escape in Bhowana tehsil in Punjab province.

She told the police that she had been passed off from one man to another and had been raped frequently over the year, Express Tribune reported Wednesday.

The woman said that one of her husband's friends, Saad, visited them frequently.

"One day he came to our house in my husband's absence and brought some sweets. I ate the sweets and fainted and he abducted me," she was quoted as saying.

She told the police that she was taken Chiniot city in Punjab province, where she was forced to change her name.

"Saad made me sign a nikahnama and forced me to change my name. He kept me for two months and then sold me for Rs.40,000 to his brother," she said.

Saad's brother, Zahoor, too made her sign a marriage certificate.

"He made me work around the house and tied me up in chains for three months. He would assault me every night," said Arifa with tears in her eyes.

Three months later, Zahoor sold her to his nephew Ahmed, who was just 20 years old. He kept her for two months.

"He (Ahmed) used to burn my body with hot iron and beat me but there was no one around for miles so I couldn't scream for help," she said.

The victim tried to escape several times, but failed.

"They kept moving me from one place to another. Every few months I was sold off to someone new and eventually I even began to forget where I was," she said, adding that Ahmed sold her two months later to two men for Rs.80,000.

Another incident that started in Karachi that mazHur will likely deny.

Posted in another thread, but still relevant as to the culture of the Pakistani legal systen:

http://www.ndtv.com/article/world/m...se-pakistan-supreme-court-acquits-five-100595

Mukhtar Mai gangrape case: Pakistan Supreme Court acquits five


Islamabad: The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Thursday upheld the acquittal of five of the six men accused in the gang rape of Mukhtar Mai, the resilient woman who had gained international recognition and emerged as a symbol of the voiceless and oppressed women in the country.

A three-member bench of the Supreme Court, led by Justice Shakirullah Jan, upheld a decision by the Lahore High Court and acquitted five of the accused, citing lack of evidence. The sixth is to complete life sentence. Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry was not part of the bench.

Ms. Mukhtar was allegedly gang raped in 2002 on the orders of the village council in Meerwala, a dusty farming village in the backwaters of Punjab Province. The case jolted the country and ignited international outrage.

The rape was a punishment for her younger brother's alleged illicit relations with a woman from a rival tribe, the Mastoi. Later investigations revealed that the boy had been molested by three Mastoi tribesmen, and the accusation against him had been a cover-up.


The legal battle took many twists and turns in the past nine years. Fourteen men were initially charged in the case in 2002 and six -- the leader of the village council, a council member and the four men accused of carrying out the rape -- were convicted and sentenced to death in August 2002. But in March 2005, the Lahore High Court overturned the convictions of five of the men and commuted the death sentence of the sixth to life in prison.

Outrageous......and to deny this occurs throughout your nation and culture frequently, even more outrageous, mazHur!!!

I would like to know where you get your facts…

A quick search on my end (not that I really care) showed that the Netherlands were the biggest producer of animal porn.

That said, who cares.

People are fucked up all over the world.

The only difference between the US and other countries is the US has more freedoms, but at the same time, has more protection (ironic, isn't it).

Funny enough, I've never raped a woman, never hit a woman, and haven't been in a strip club in the last 25 years. If I'm out on the street and I see a man trying to rape a woman (forcible sex where the woman is screaming for the man to get off her and the man is not complying), I will shoot the man myself with my legally owned firearm myself.

I did just read where a Pakistani woman was stoned to death leaving the courthouse with her husband. Apparently the womans father and brothers were pissed off that she didn't go along with a arranged marriage so they stoned her. And for some reason, it seems those countries with religious zealots who proclaim they follow God have the same amount of gay people as any other country does. Just that in America, people are fighting for gay rights, in the sand box, they just hang gay people.
