Beyond SADNESS
About: the plight of afghan women: a disturbing picture - time
I only wish that this was some sort of conspiracy to keep the war going (like the mental images of babies being thrown out of incubators) for Iraq (Gulf War I). Maybe even a photoshop job for a conceptual hit piece on the Taliban. Unfortunately, I suspect it is real.
What sort of insanity & cultural depravity produces this kind of behavior in the name of some sort of religion? - eh? I hope this goes viral to the extent that it shames those responsible & all their fellow-travelers to HELL!

Aisha’s case is not part of a dark past under the Taliban rule of a decade ago. Rather it is an example of a disturbing present where sharia justice is being meted out against women in the most brutal of ways. And it isn’t just happening in Afghanistan. Take the case of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, a 43 year-old widow and mother of two boys who was initially sentenced to “death by stoning” in Iran for having an “illicit relationship” with a man. After a public outcry, word came in mid-July that the stoning would not take place. But before anyone rejoices in Iran making a concession to a modern value system that doesn’t punish behavior that in any other culture would not only be perfectly legal but socially unremarkable, Ashitani’s death sentence remains in force. Now she will likely be hanged for her crime instead.
