Because He Couldn’t Get It Up!

Azra,

As a human being I oppose and abhor violence -especially sexual assaults on women. As a Pakistani, I oppose Musharraf, his stupid statements etc and find these acts obviously reprehensible, let me be the one to shoulder the unpopular cause and ask you this... The protest of less than a hundred people that dissipated in New York yesterday... passed out a leaflet and a press release in which it was said that a rape is estimated to occur in Pakistan every two hours. This is an estimate mind you... though I agree with it in entirety... completely reprehensible... but I think one should also consider that in the United States according to FBI reports- a rape case is reported every 5 minutes. Now this the US we are talking about, the mightiest and most powerful country in the world, where women are not treated like women in Pakistan... and even if we make population adjustments for statistics... there is no comparison... logically speaking ... if things are better in the US for example- and a rape is happening every five minutes there- then Pakistan with a population more than half of the US population should have had a woman being raped more often than the US... let alone in estimates.

Pakistan`s society is becoming stronger and people are getting more vocal ... women are speaking up... people are asking for better law and order, roads, improvement and they are getting them,... None of this is thanks to any ``ANAA`` or any other such organisation I am afraid. Expatriates of any kind are always cut off reality... You don`t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out the ultimate impact of ``ANAA`` aside from giving its office bearers some 15 minutes of fame has done NOTHING for Mukhtar Mai or any of the other rape victims... they can`t do anything... except try and win popularity for themselves...

This is callousness of the worst kind... and may I be forgiven for saying this for I have always found Chowk founders and editors to be very decent people... they too have been guilty of similar callousness ... this desire to become the martyr in someone else`s cause especially when your ``martyrdom`` doesn`t do jacksh-t for that cause.

``President Musharraf blatantly made comments suggesting that rape has become a money-making concern in Pakistan. ``

He does not have much to say anything except giving lame excuses. He is very much concerned about protecting his image in front of the whole world. I wish to bake these small minded, egoist, bstard guys, who rape woman, in the oven with 1000 temperature.

Money making concern, huh..did that girl ask SP to rape her because she wants to go to canada or have some immigration. How many other innocent girls have been raping in the pakistan but their parents can not get justice because they are scared. Scared of the people, and society. When people has started complaing and raisin voice about it, our president considered it as a money-making strategy instead of giving justice. Why is that? Why we, women, can not ask for justice. Why we are not considered as human being? Why we have not been giving support. Why we are always being treated like that.

On the other hand, we are called muslims, living in ISLAMIC REPUBLIC of Pakistan. How much we have been practicing Islam, we are just practicing our stupid norms and worshipping our traditions. Bstard Guys!! I want to shoot them all.

Well written...

I can only add that indeed he has brought disgrace to the country to suggest that women get raped in order to obtain Canadian immigration.

Does he not have any shame to even think about such a thing, let alone say it ?

Timely article. Musharaf has the knack of giving the most stupid statement at a wrong time and at a wrong place.
