This is the face of the Taliban: shoot an unarmed woman.
It is no wonder India is doing so much better than Pakistan - culturally, economically and in attracting foreign investment. India is fast gaining the trust of the world - while Pakistan - its awe.
In India, Muslims claim and probably rightly so - to be discriminated against. That is only because of the Partition that they find themselves in a somewhat weakened position. But look how Pakistani Muslims act where they are in the majority - towards each other.
As Indian history shows - it was these same types of forced conversions and forced subjugation, through the use or the threat of violence - which brought about the many converts to Islam of these mostly Hindu peoples.
We can see that these attacks on women - in Pakistan – are a continuation the Islamic story, and its use of violence to control and subjugate its women folk - first - and as conquests go - then onto subjugate all non-Muslims in the surrounding areas - in the hope to establish Islam as the world's dominant religion.
