I can but the filter will block them out.

I saw a feature on BBC News about their economy, and footage of a mall in Delhi that looks just like a British shopping centre, with the kind of brands there and interviews with people wearing trendy clothes. It amazes me that st like that happens in the same country! What planet do they live on?

Unless Allah was a Hindu then no, probably not.

Unbelievable.

I don't understand how this is possible in the same country that can do this:

No. In fact one of the great attractions of Islam to many in the region is that it doesn't have a bullst Caste system that keeps you untouchable lower class scum for generations.

Odd how western feminists spend their time writing articles on how office air con is sexist instead of fighting things like this

It's at times like this I remember the quote attributed to ghandi

“What Do You Think of Western Civilization?”

“I Think It Would Be a Good Idea”

Lots of feminists the world over, are doing exactly that. Is each of us only allowed to complain about the biggest tragedy in the entire world?

Is there any news outlet reporting this or is it just amnesty?

[TwigtheWonderkid]

When the time comes for the sentence to be carried out, the sisters should give very vocal enthusiastic consent. That'll blow the minds of the chosen rapist and the local council who passed the sentence.

Charming.

I manage a small team of Indians in Bangalore, from my Empirical headquarters in Berkshire.

I do earnestly hope that this team do not approve of the punishment being meted out to these 2 innocent young girls.

I hate the expression " Totally Unacceptable " ,BUT this really is .

I'd say that being very vocal about perceived injustices rather than serious ones is a pretty good way to make your cause a laughing stock

Yes arranged marriages completely ignore factors such as wealth and social background best to keep it in the family if possible aye.
