Just another day in the middle east.

Losing body parts has become frighteningly common for Muslim people over there. If is isn't a head it is a nose or a hand. Violence against women is tolerated to an extent although this article makes is seem like this husband might be punished. He cut off his wife's nose for really no reason which is probably why they are talking punishment. Had she looked at another man (just looked-not touched), or her berka fell down in public and someone saw her face he probably would have been applauded. Not to worry about his loneliness because he took a second wife. A lovely seven year old fresh out of kindergarten

Refresh my memory, isn't this the religion of peace

Afghan husband mutilates wife:

• Reza was married as a 15-year-old to a man who later took a SEVEN-YEAR-OLD as a second wife - before he cut off her nose in a rage and fled to the Taliban
• Reza Gul, 20, was rushed to hospital after her husband cut off her nose
• The disfigured woman must now undergo reconstructive surgery
• Mohammad Khan used a pocket knife to carry out the attack in Afghanistan
• He had recently returned from Iran and had taken a second wife, aged 7
• Police have launched a manhunt after he fled to a Taliban-controlled area

An Afghan woman married off as a 15-year-old has had her nose cut off by her enraged husband using a pocket knife. Badly mutilated Reza Gul, 20, was rushed to hospital after the attack in the northwestern province of Faryab on Sunday after losing large amounts of blood. Her husband, Mohammad Khan, had recently returned from Iran and begun beating and torturing his wife, before also taking a second bride who was aged just seven, it was claimed.

The incident highlights the endemic violence against women in Afghan society, despite reforms since the hardline Taliban Islamist regime was ousted by a 2001 U.S.-led invasion.

Ahmad Javed Bedar, a spokesperson for the region's governor, confirmed her husband Mohammad Khan had cut off her nose 'with a pocket knife. He added she would need reconstructive surgery, which was not possible in the local government hospital. She will likely to be flown to Turkey for the treatment. Fawzia Salimi, a hospital director in Maymana, capital of Faryab province, said Khan had returned from Iran just three months ago. Since then he had repeatedly beaten and tortured his wife, while also taking another wife who was just seven years old, she said.

Community elders and Taliban representatives in their village had tried mediating with the family to help sort out their problems, a traditional method of dealing with marital issues. Khan had now disappeared from the village, and local security forces including the intelligence agency and police were searching for him. Before cutting off his wife's nose, Khan had promised Taliban leaders in the village that he would stop harming Gul.

Severing women's noses is not unheard of in Afghanistan and like most abuse probably happens more often than is publicly acknowledged.
The disfigured woman's photograph was widely shared on social media, prompting calls for tough action against the husband.

Kabul-based women's rights activist Alema said: 'Such a brutal and barbaric act should be strongly condemned. 'Such incidents would not happen if the government judicial system severely punished attacks on women.' It was not immediately clear what prompted the husband to attack Gul, the mother of a one-year-old child who was married off five years ago as a teenager.

Officials are trying to arrange to fly Gul to Turkey so she can undergo reconstructive surgery

Reports suggested he had fled to the Taliban, though a spokesperson for the group claimed they too were searching for him and would deal with him according to Islamic law if captured.

The government has vowed to protect women's rights but that has not prevented deadly attacks.
In November a young woman was stoned to death after being accused of adultery in the central province of Ghor.

And last March a woman named Farkhunda was savagely beaten and set ablaze in central Kabul after being falsely accused of burning a Koran.
The mob killing triggered angry protests nationwide and drew global attention to the treatment of Afghan women.

In 2010, Time magazine put the photograph of a mutilated 18-year-old, Bibi Aisha, on its cover. Her nose was cut off by an abusive husband.
The cover provoked a worldwide outpouring of sympathy for Aisha, who was taken to the United States where she was given a prosthetic nose.
Heather Barr, a researcher for Human Rights Watch, said: 'Horrifying cases like this one happen all too often in Afghanistan.

'The level of impunity for violence against women encourages some men to continue to feel that women are their property and violence is their right.'

Hey a175,

What about all that bullshit about Mohammed-the-Pedophile being a "historical context" thing, scholars arguing & all that?!? Seems like some.... a whole fucking culture, in fact.... seem to think it's a perfectly valid example. No arguing about A'isha's age here, huh? Slime of a "religion."

It's not bullshit, but this is. You've never heard me support child marriage in modern times, have you?
No, and you won't.
Because I don't.

And nobody that I associate with does. The rulings from prominent Imams don't support child marriage, either.

What backwards people do in certain cultures, practices that have been around long before monotheistic religions came to them, is not something that I condone. I denounce it.

I doubt that a seven year old mentioned had reached puberty, possessed physical, emotional, and mental maturity, fully understood the concept of marriage, gave consent to be married, received her dowry, was treated equally with the first wife, and was of sound mind enough to sign the marriage contract.
Those are kind of required things.

I'm not defending this shitbag.
You may want to think I am, but I'm not.

By the way, I'm still waiting for you to respond to my challenge.

The difference between you and me. I don't look at the above thread and think "oh, American/white/black culture". It's more prevalent than anyone wants to admit, but it's not part of our values as Americans. It's just scum being scum.


Wait... aren't you the guy who said not to flame or troll or I might get banned?
