A victim from A 2 Z in Punkistan

I am looking for a genius who can explain this. The genius must hold a teaching position in an Islamic University and head the dept of Sly Art of Perfidy and must be well-versed in text-torturing, obfuscation, misrepresentation, circumlocution, sophism, circumferential speech, selective editing, fabrication and prevarication. You must have been elected by the student body as an exponent of professorial elocution in the delivery of lectures on the Sly Art of Perfidy. If you happen to be MFB, it is an accepted deviance in an accomplished genius


Doubt Cast on Charges That Led to Pakistan Rape-- July 12, 2002

By IAN FISHER

SLAMABAD, Pakistan, Friday, July 12 — The public gang rape of a woman in Punjab province appears to have begun with another crime: three higher-caste tribesman sodomized her 11-year-old brother, then tried to cover up what they had done, an investigation shows.

The boy had even been locked up in a cell by the police to prevent him from reporting on the three men, according to an investigation from the province's governor, Lt. Gen. Khalid Maqbool.

The latest details seem likely to add to the public outcry in Pakistan over the case, which has prompted widespread calls to rein in the tribal councils.

On June 22, a tribal council in the village of Meerwala ordered the rape of Mukhtaran Bibi, of the low-caste Gujar tribe, as punishment for allegations that her younger brother, Abdul Shaqoor, 11, had "illicit relations" with a 30-year-old woman of the higher caste Mastoi tribe. The woman's age has been variously reported, as either 18 or 30.

Four men carried out the sentence in public, in front of her father, reportedly as much of the village looked on. She was then ordered to walk home naked.

The governor's investigation, as reported by the Agence France-Presse, said that the allegations of an affair were fabricated by the older woman to cover up the sodomy of the boy by her fellow tribesman.

Three out of the four rapists have since been arrested, among a total of 13 arrests in the case, amid outrage among women's groups and human rights advocates. The Pakistani president, Pervez Musharraf, has ordered a payment of $8,300 to Ms. Bibi.

The family is under police protection to prevent harassment by Mastoi tribesmen.

The governor's investigation also reported that an a local official, identified as Muhammad Iqbal, knew that the boy had been sodomized, and also tried to cover up the crime.

"He kept the boy in a cell deliberately and unlawfully so that he could not inform anyone about this crime,` an investigator told the French press agency. The official has reportedly been suspended from his post.

July 12, 2002 A Few Saudis Defy a Rigid Islam to Debate Their Own Intolerance

The faithful who must live abroad should "harbor enmity and hatred for the infidels and refrain from taking them as friends," it reads in part.
"Well, of course I hate you because you are Christian, but that doesn't mean I want to kill you," a professor of Islamic law in Riyadh explains to a
visiting reporter.
A Jidda business executive says of the Saudi clergy: "If you are against them, you are against Islam. If you criticize them, you criticize Islam
. "Wahhabism looks at every situation as black and white, there is no `in between,' no gray area," said Mr. Awaji, who now works as a lawyer. "We
have to be more open and more tolerant inside our sects. If we solve that within our sect, then we can be more tolerant than others."
