Subject: RE: Obit: More Muslim intolerence?
Yesterday I was reading an article about similar occurances in Pakistan. Tribal councils were giving punishments to men that involved committing crimes against women. One of these was a case of a man who had committed sexual indscretions with a woman. The tribal council decided that the man's punishment would be that his sister would be gang-raped.    A Pakistani court has given a death sentence to the men who committed the gang-rape. I don't know if I would support the death penalty for such crimes, but maybe the government of your country needs to be a little bit more like that of Pakistan on these issues, Wolfgang. Here's the story:
