| Mother and daughter stoned to death in Ghazni |
| 2011-11-11 |
| A group of armed men stoned a woman and her daughter to death in Afghanistan's Ghazni province. Officials blamed the Taliban and said they had accused the widow and her daughter of "moral deviation and adultery." It happened on Thursday in the Khawaja Hakim area of Ghazni city, where the family resided. Police said two men had been arrested in connection with the killings. Reportedly, armed men entered the house where the young widow lived with her daughter, took them out, and stoned them to death. An official said, "Neighbors did not help or inform the authorities on time." Officials said religious leaders in the city had been issuing fatwas calling for people to report any one who was "involved in adultery." |

| #6 I feel much better because you said that, Glenmore. You'd never been less than a perfect gentleman before, to my knowledge. Next time you'll be more clear. |

| #5 It was meant as a sarcastic critique on the way women are treated in that society rather than an actual suggestion; my apologies that it did not come out that way. |

| #4 I tend to be more dismayed at what afghan tribals do to rape victims, and how Islamic law treats rape victims and rape in general, than at Glenmore's comment. Which, in its rather badly-put way, says the same thing |

| #2 Mods, #1 barfed on the carpet. Glenmore, as the mother of a r*pe victim, I find your comment appalling. Can you look in the mirror without cracking it? |

| #1 Suggests one way to win a war with them - r*pe all their young women, whom they will then stone to death, draining the gene pool. |
