That's also a tell-tale story if only you have looked at who wrote that bullshit.
Never heard of this Mehr Qureshi. she is but towing the line of her funders, the Americans. If she doesn't she won't be able to make fool of them!!
She is mainly complaining about the abuse of laws, nothing more. She calls it ''cultural stigma'' which has nothing to do with Islam. If you had read her 'propaganda' she staged to please her foreign patrons to show her 'importance' to them on ''International Women’s Day.'' you would have realized that nothing of the sort mentioned by her has any nexus with Islam. She is narrating some instances of criminal nature and the need to
improve laws versus cultural illths. Where in the world you don't have cultural and criminal clogs tresspassing on human rights??? Even the Western world is no exception. Let me say it again it is not religion which is at fault it is its adherents who are. I can see a proof of this right here on this forum in Christians maligning their own religion and personalities. Well, you may call it ''you culture' but consider most people in the world do not appreciate that.
If you try to compare situation/perspective back in Pakistan or Afghanistan with that in America or other advanced countries you would only be trying to deceive yourself. In th former there is lack of rule of law whereas in the latter there is rigid enforcement of rule of law which makes its citizens behave and keep their minds level.
I recall the vandalism committed by the Americans when lights suddenly went off in Los angeles(not sure about the city) many years ago and people went looting shops and damaging public property as if they had just been relieved from some paradise of lawlessness!! More examples can be cited but I rest my point here.
Finally tell me where in the Quran is it written that Muslims should do what has been cited by you in the url ??
Those referred to are criminal activities just like anywhere in the world!!!
I do what I believe to be right...but I am not a self-loathing Muslim as some Christians I come across who are.
Neither do I defend criminals, be they Muslims or Christians. Both are condemnable. But you must try to realize the difference between misuse and abuse of the process of law and tenets of a religion....this is where you, the people of the West, grossly err.
