Evemurphy, the beating actually took place in Pakistan. But I share with you the hope for a better future for the women — and men — of the region.

Cruel. Inhuman and barbaric. These women deserve just as much to be happy and self-determining as do the men of Afghanistan. It would be a great step forward if a woman were elected to President in the upcoming election. But then again, not likely. I am keeping my fingers crossed for the women of Afghanistan.

let’s say, for the sake of argument, that this did happen right across the border in afghanistan: does the act itself deserve any less condemnation? does it mean that this woman and the man she was seen with *should* be beaten in public? are they the lesser human beings, undeserving of basic human rights, protections and rule of law? why not spend energy on condemning these terrible acts instead of on conspiracy theories? finally, even if this was perchance shot in afghanistan, let’s please not forget that a portion of pakistan has now fallen to the same elements responsible for these and a multitude of similar violent, heinous acts whose influence is only growing.

Pakistan’s eastern evil neighbor is using all its media might to paddle the video to the minds of media infected single minded global assessors. I realized through youtube browsing that this incident was captured 6 months back and the possibility is that it was in northern Afghanistan. these people have no faith and they do not believe in any human rights. the authenticity of this videos origin is not valid till now. this mens club is formed and sponsored by the enemies of peace and humanity. its a propaganda war as it happened in the past as well. this is the power of media and we all get carried away by some sudden emotional excitement.
still, i do advise to our local media to validate the originality of this scenario before even putting the questionnaires to our local fame hungry politicians, who just wait to show their faces on television without understanding the core gravity of the subject.
