Listen, Zeemax!
It takes a lot of courage to come out in the open and talk about the defects of your own culture and your own faith and all the other crappy stuff which passes for Pakistani “honor” than two-syllable cowardly mullah-loving-morons can ever begin to fathom!

hamidm mian,
Dont trivialize everything. When you do that there is no difference between right and wrong. And like i said dont equate honor killings with bride burnings, while one is sanctioned by law and can be practiced by any law abiding citizen, the other is a heinous crime which will surely get you life. What are your answers to these following questions?
1) If I am paki citizen can I legally murder my sister as long as my dad is ok with it?
2) Can I legally rape anyone in a womens hostel where there is no man present?
3) Is there any other country in this world, where you can openly murder and rape as many as you want and be respeactable law abiding citizen?
And dont trivialize these serious issues which affect the lives of so many women by your tahmed like comebacks about gujrat and monkeymen.

promising at all.
Dear author,
Please do us a honor and before equating your murderous practices which have legal sanction in your barbatic country, with crimes that are punishable by life/Death sentences in India, please be educated and dont come across as stupid. You are trivializing the very issue that you are taking trying to higlite. Just because murders happen even while there are laws prohibiting it in some country is no excuse to allow murders openly, legally in your country.

"Honor functions as an opiate in backward societies like that of Pakistan"
Miss Rashid,
In calling our society backward, you've exposed the true moral and ethical backwardnes (not to mention: waywardness) of your adopted society. How little you remember or wish to know wearing trousers and a jacket.
Don't equate FATA, Wana, and other Taliban-style areas with the rest of the country. Not everybody here lives on Dollars and Riyals.
Such freelancing (no boss to show you your place) journalism will not get you anywhere.
Ta-ta.

Very predictable predatory behaviour here. See the 'right' vultures circling this carcass of a piece.

Let the writer interact to explain instead of hiring mouthpieces.
A surevy in Pakistan will reveal that our urban women live like princesses compared with Najma-goes-to-Toronoto types.
The foot-long tongues they suddenly grow abroad is not needed here. A few misrepresented cases played to the limit by the media do not tell everything. More serious problems exist THERE. Do you watch THEIR talk-shows sometimes?

Umm..OK, so Lahore is in FATA/Wana? If you recall, a few years ago Saima Sarwar was shot dead smack inside Asma Jahangir's office by an assassin hired by her father. Her crime? She eloped and married a man she loved, an affront to "family honor".

"You are not worth it (same goes for all the .... hanging around you wagging their tails, i.e., Tahir....the lot".
I have just been informed by the CHOWK staff that a piglet has stooped to make this comment and that there is nothing they can do except burn his effigy in digust.
That piglets have a voice here is very democratic. In the small town that this pilget comes from, usually children tie a rope around such creatures and beat them to their ignominious deaths.

Mr. Tahir,
A foot long tongue may not be needed and that is why I chose to write in a civilized manner against traditions of oppression which have managed to survive only because of people like you. And trust me, I completely understand how ignorant you are but my goal is to engage people like you in a sensible debate to ensure that women have equal rights in Pakistan so that Najma does not have to go to Toronto to feel like a human being.
