#1 So let me get this straight: if a woman in Pakistan shows and ankle, she is a slutty whore who can be raped and stoned. If a man does NOT show his ankles, he is an infidel and can be shot.
Are these guys nuts or something?

#7 Showing ankles is a sign, like an earring in the right ear or pants worn backwards.

#8 Power play. These guys were just showing everybody who's boss, them being the local gangsters. Pants, schmants, all they want is for the locals to show deference. Any dumb thing they ask for will do. The Japanese in the Philippines made everyone bow to them, same thing.

This guy fought back. He should be a local hero.
