If this happened in any Islamic country, she'd be the one punished.
What do they call that charge, "looking to rapable"?

Cultural dissonance... you can't bring a barn cat into the house and then feign confusion when said barn cat tears the resident housecat a new one, breaks the fine China, claws holes in the furniture, and crap on the floor... the best course of action is absolutely to let the barn cat stay in the barn where it belongs and where it's behaviors and temperament are naturally attuned.

When someone I invite into my home behaves in a way I dont like, I kick them out. People are way too concerned with appearing popular or tolerant or etc... and I have to wonder about leaders who are more concerned with others and not their own. I could easily deport ALL and kill violent immigrant offenders if I were a person in power. Do innocents get caught up in it? Yeah, so?

I want to make sure I understand you.
If you had "the power" to deport or kill offenders, you wouldn't experience any remorse if you deported ... or KILLED an innocent person?

I (think) I disagree, we didn't create that culture, it was already there. We may have exacerbated the extremist situation by removing factors/entities that kept it in check, but we didn't create it. I will say that large portions of the culture are amazing and I may be slightly bias because of the capacity that I was there, but a large majority are savages. Calling something what it is isn't history repeating itself, it's evidence of a culture that continues down a path of digression from what it once was.
When not building relationships with his Afghani cohorts, Podlich developed something else: his Kodachrome film, which captured a modernizing and peaceful Afghanistan that belies the harrowing images and thoughts associated with the war-torn country we see today. That is why, in Peg Podlich’s eyes, her father’s photos are so incredibly important. Says Podlich, these photos “can encourage folks to see Afghanistan and its people as they were and could be. It is important to know that we have more in common with people in other lands than what separates us.”
This video (I created) reflects Iran during the time of the Shah when it was a modern, socially free, and a progressive nation with a blend of western and traditional values which made it a gem in Eurasia. These are a selection of photos from the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.

No arguments to assist the victim, rape counseling, healthcare, etc. When i see that kind of concern, these arguments will be more convincing. Until then, it's political rhetoric.
