Yes it's a terrible thing.
I put it right up there with Catholic priests raping children while their peers turn a blind eye.
Organised religion is full of such hypocricies.

You'll also find plenty of Christians taking part in this sort of behaviour in war torn parts of Africa, such as the Congo.

People commit atrocities regardless of their religions. Christians have a long list of them.
Besides these men in pakistan were all uneducated ingnorant idiots. If everyone in pakistan felt this way this case would have never come to light and no one wouldve done anything to bring justice to that poor woman.

OOPS DrHoracid you left yourself open on that one.
Have you forgotten the Crusades?
How about the Inquisition ?
Both of those operations were indorsed by the Vatican and chirch leaders.
Both have had documented cases of rapes performed in the name of converting the unbeleivers.

Also, lets not forget what the last few years have revealed. That the church hasgone to great lengths to hide the truth of the sexual misconduct of it's priests.

Every woman on this planet should be screaming for "jihad" against Islam. This is just one more example of the "Religion of Peace".
