Ok I'm holding up my hand. I've reread my posts, and I can see why it looks like I'm anti-American.
I apologise to all American's who may have taken offense, I am absolutely not anti-American.

Does this sound sick?
I love it. I think we need to see more of this. Although it often gets out of hand an eye for an eye is sooo fairrrr.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan
Naeema Azar as she normally presents herself, to avoid shocking people
Terrorism in this part of the world usually means bombs exploding or hotels burning, as the latest horrific scenes from Mumbai attest. Yet alongside the brutal public terrorism that fills the television screens, there is an equally cruel form of terrorism that gets almost no attention and thrives as a result: flinging acid on a woman’s face to leave her hideously deformed.
Here in Pakistan, I’ve been investigating such acid attacks, which are commonly used to terrorize and subjugate women and girls in a swath of Asia from Afghanistan through Cambodia (men are almost never attacked with acid). Because women usually don’t matter in this part of the world, their attackers are rarely prosecuted and acid sales are usually not controlled. It’s a kind of terrorism that becomes accepted as part of the background noise in the region.

What has secular law created in the west? More crime, rape and murder than anywhere else on the planet (bar warzones). What has Sharia law created for the muslim countries? Hmm let me see... Secure places to bring your family up with little to no fear of violence, rape or murder (it is not 100% safe, but 99% more than the west, also you know anyone who commits any such act against you, has a 90% possibility of being caught and sentenced accordingly to the crime, unlike the west, where you have a 50% chance they will never be found, let alone brought to justice!).
