One of Bibi Aisha's Tormentors Captured
-The Daily Beast
One of the most repulsive crimes I have ever heard of is one step closer to bringing the culprits to justice. "Afghan police in the Chora district of Uruzgan province recently arrested the young woman’s father-in-law, Sulaiman, on charges stemming from his involvement in Aisha’s maiming last summer."
I recently read a book by Hirsi Ali called Infidel, and after reading it I don't find this atrocity that surprising. To most middle-east families and to all orthodox Muslims family honor is of utmost importance, their values and upbringing are taught to the children in a way that preaches hatred of Western culture. They are not subtle about their hatred and the women are especially caught in an abusive and oppressive society in which they have no power to get out of. Knowing this I can say I am not surprised.
