This goes beyond 1 family.

It is considered culturally acceptable to consider women as property to use as the husband and his family wish.

Women need economic independence from men to be free.

Society needs to make it clear that violence against women isn't acceptable.

Your reply is almost justification for "culture" Gambiabev,which I am certain that you did not mean to imply.
I would suggest that these particular "people" and those who think like them are not to be considered as members of the human race,but rather as representatives of another species.
If anyone here disagrees with my words please reply with your own views on how such conduct can be justified under any circumstances.

I am not justifying such behaviour.
An explanation is that it is culturally entrenched and acceptable to the men in that culture.

For example, in the UK we have areas that are dominated by Pakistani culture.
Many things that happen to women in that culture are horrific to people of English background, but acceptable to the Pakistani community.

We are back to the same thing: education and empowerment of women. This gives them more freedom and choices in life.

I understand your words,BUT such behaviour by ANYBODY is totally WRONG all the talk about "culture" is a smoke screen for practices that would have been tolerated hundreds of years ago BUT NOT NOW its really time that ORDINARY folk were not put into a smokescreen by those who seek to prolong "traditions" and "culture" that are from hundreds of years ago and have NO PLACE in the world of 2012.
Gambiabev, you would not condone the continued practice of FGM as being part of "culture" that should not be discontinued NOW,or would you.?

Toubab 1020. "The minister said it was an example of "increased cases of violence against women in Afghanistan". Women continue to suffer in Afghanistan despite billions of dollars of international aid which has poured into the country during the decade-long war."

Afghan is considered a muslim country or Islamic state; but please appreciate or understand that "persecution", "torture", "prostitution" and other EVIL DEEDS ARE UNACCEPTABLE IN ISLAM (AND DOES NOT REPRESENT WHAT PROPHET MUHAMMAD TEACH US; THROUGH HIS WAY OF LIFE, PREACHINGS AND MESSAGES FROM HOLY QU'RAN)!

ISLAM CAME TO THE ARABS AND AROUND THAT REGION TO LIBERATE THEM FROM DARKNESS (INHERITED FROM DARK AGES), ITS CRUDE CULTURE AND EVIL TRADITIONS. SO THESE EVIL DEEDS AMONGST OTHERS ARE FOR THOSE ASTRAY AND LOST IN WILDERNESS OF DARK FORCES OF EVIL AND SATANIC; OK! NOWADAYS ISLAM IS EASILY EMBROILED AND MIXED UP IN MURKY WATERS, RAISING QUESTION MARKS IN CERTAIN ISLAMIC REGIONS? THE CRIME COMMITTED IS WICKEDNESS; INCITED DUE TO IGNORANCE, FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY, GREED, PURSUIT OF MATERIAL WORLD AND FROM A PSYCHOPATH AND SICK FAMILY OR COMMUNITY THAT NEEDS HEALING!

Letter from David Pidcock to The Sunday Telegraph, contrasting the French hysteric phobia of late with Napoleon Bonaparte's admiration for Islam.
quote:
""Moses", Napoleon says, "has revealed the existence of God to his nation, Jesus Christ to the Roman world, Muhammad to the old continent... Arabia was idolatrous when, six centuries after Jesus, Muhammad [re]introduced the worship of the God of Abraham, of Ishmael, of Moses, and of Jesus Christ. The Arians and some other sects had disturbed the tranquillity of the East by agitating the question of the 'Father the Son and the Holy Ghost.' Muhammad declared that there was none but one God, who had no father, no son, and that the trinity imported the idea of idolatry..."

VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:
  • "As they have been looking out for their 'saviour' for quite some time; The Jews, rejecting Jesus as the Messiah, still await their Messiah, and only recently the word has gone round in Jewish communities again that his coming is near. We can be almost sure that what they are awaiting is the false Messiah we have been warned of."

  • Many Christians also rejecting Muhammad (MPBUH) like the "Jews rejecting Jesus as the Messiah"; condemned him as "FALSE PROPHET" and will never be convinced (to belief in Islam and Muhammad as a "HUMBLE SLAVE OF GOD" & A TRUE PROPHET) like the Jews on "Promised Messiah".

  • For The Messenger Muhammad (and The UNIFIER) brought universal last testament, "[re]introduced the worship of the God of Abraham, of Ishmael, of Moses, and of Jesus Christ."

Bev, I agree with you that this behaviour is “culturally entrenched and acceptable to the men in that culture”. It is unacceptable and cruel.

Kobo, I don’t believe that you are condoning this act but your bringing Islam and the name of our good prophet in this issue is disappointing. This is a criminal act and has nothing to do with whatever religion the perpetrators belong to.

Momodou and KOBO,your postings show that this topic has touched exposed nerves,
I am happy with the words of Kobo,I am not sure if the words are his or a quote,however the topic has been brought to a close by the use of these words:

"Afghan is considered a muslim country or Islamic state; but please appreciate or understand that "persecution", "torture", "prostitution" and other EVIL DEEDS ARE UNACCEPTABLE IN ISLAM (AND DOES NOT REPRESENT WHAT PROPHET MUHAMMAD TEACH US; THROUGH HIS WAY OF LIFE, PREACHINGS AND MESSAGES FROM HOLY QU'RAN)!"

Personally I feel that now is the time to discontinue postings in this topic.

Momodou I don't think so and tarnish image of "our good prophet" or cause any disrepute to any prophet and religion. Afghan is included on my statement for; "NOWADAYS ISLAM IS EASILY EMBROILED AND MIXED UP IN MURKY WATERS, RAISING QUESTION MARKS IN CERTAIN ISLAMIC REGIONS"; and Afghan being one of the hottest spots globally on CLASH OF FAITHS AND RELIGIONS, due to "war on terror" politics, media propaganda and "The Dajjall and his system" for 21st century and beyond? Since 9/11 issues became more complex to address without referring to religion; especially making them appear to be cultured in Islam under Taliban rule

Religion (Islam), culture (traditions) politics are all mentioned in these links for;

Toubab 1020 glad that my point is appreciated!
