on Al Jazeera with a female Afghan member of parliament who blamed the western media for not understanding the language the bill was couched in!!!
When she was directly asked what the western media had got wrong, what she found wrong with the bill and if it did indeed allow marital rape within the Shia community she could not answer, ducked the question and spouted on about how they had raised the marital age for girls to 16.
She seemed afraid to speak her mind and was just towing the party line.
Obama called it an abomination, and whilst we had to be sensitive to cultural differences there were some basic principles concerning human rights that every nation had to abide by.
"Deaths in the Bible. God - 2,270,365
not including the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the
many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc because no specific numbers
were given. Satan - 10."
