A 15-year-old Afghan girl has died after she was allegedly set upon by two men, who hacked her head part-way off, because she rejected a marriage proposal. CNN reported that police in Kunduz province have arrested two men for the knife murder of the teen, Gaiseena. Amanuddin Quraishi, chief of Imam Sahib district, told the broadcaster one of the suspects had proposed to the girl but she had rejected him. She died moments from her home, having left to collect water for her family. The BBC reported that it had been the girl's father who rejected the marriage proposal. It is not known whether either of the accused were family members. "Our investigation shows those who killed her were people who wanted to marry her," police told the BBC. The father had not wanted his daughter to get married because she was "too young to be engaged", the Pajhwok news agency reported. The brutal attack comes as the Afghan government announced it would take part in the '16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence' from the United Nations, which began on November 25. The Nato-led International Security Assistance Force Commander General John Allen said in a statement that the force would be supporting the government in "creating better and safer lives for Afghan women - more opportunities for Afghan girls to attend school safely, and more opportunities in business, government and education for Afghan women." Earlier this year, Michelle Bachelet, executive director of UN Women, expressed concern about the "extreme abuse and appalling violence against women" in Afghanistan. "Such brutality is intolerable and UN Women calls upon the Afghan government to act with urgency to respond to these crimes, bringing the perpetrators to justice, and to end a culture of impunity and create a culture of zero tolerance of violence and discrimination against women and girls." Just three weeks ago, in the same province, the brother of a Kunduz MP was arrested for allegedly hanging his wife for a "family violation". And in January, a young Afghan woman Storai, gave birth to a third daughter, despite her family demanding a son, and was murdered by her husband and mother-in-law, strangled with a rope, according to the New York Times.
The sad thing are all the left-wingers who insist this sort of thing has absolutely nothing to do with Islam and it's simply the local culture to blame. Meanwhile, the wholesale slaughter of innocent women in the Islamic world continues unabated.
I've been sparring a bit with you over the situation in Israel but my views on that situation are not really based around religion, more secular Humanism. As such I've a pretty dismal view on most forms of faith, with Islam being one of the most repugnant. The solution probably lies somewhere in the advancement of secularism and ultimately the abandonment of all religion - rather than dropping bombs from the sky on the practitioners of a particularly backward type of voodoo.
You cannot blame all ragheads for these horrific acts anymore than you can blame Keiron and Mike for that bird dying in an Oirish hospital because they wouldn't terminate her miscarrying child.
I can remember at school, at chrimbo time, PE class was prancing about doing the Gay Gordons and other dances in preparation for the chrimbo school party It was okay if you got paired up with a decent lassie rather than the class smelly. Thank **** by time we got to 4th year it was a school disco instead. School discos got banned after ours. We were aw pished and the class bike got raped. Ah, the good ol' days
Wisny me. I know the guys who did it though. That fateful night I pulled a burd from 6th year who was there to monitor us 4th year whipper-snappers. I was very chuffed with maself at the time cos teenage burds tend to go for lads a year or two older than them, not a year or two younger. And she was a looker. My drunken charm and cheek won her round. Thought I was defo onto my hole aff her. No such luck. She dumped me a fortnight later.
