Islam for the day

Rico's friend Peter, also no lover of those professing the Muslim faith, forwards this article from The Muslim Issue:

There is no punishment for the crimes Muslim men committed against the women in these pictures. Sharia is focused on strictest punishment for women and the poor. To the rich and influential, the law is more lenient. What sane human bring will defend an ideology like this?
This is Islam. This is Islam and it’s endorsement and freedom to abuse and use women as they please, with no boundaries.
Over seventy percent of terrorism is committed by Sunni Muslims and over ninety percent of terrorist acts are committed in Muslim countries, by Muslims killing other Muslims. Muslim countries are one-hundred-percent male dominated and ruled. It should give us a hint what a male dominated society entails and turns into. You can imagine all the other barbaric brutalities they are engaged in on a daily basis. These men are completely diabolic.
This barbarity is the after-effect of fourteen centuries of singular free reign to the male gender, without any moral compass or punishment for their actions. If Muslims are so concerned about ‘honor’, why is there no honor killings of Muslim men, who bring more disgrace and shame to the Muslim community than anyone?
These pictures are the horrible and sad reminder of the imaginary “respect” Muslim men have for their women. The lives of these women are permanently destroyed while the men get off scot-free:
Irum Saeed, thirty, was burned on her face, back and shoulders when a boy whom she rejected for marriage threw acid on her. She has undergone plastic surgery twenty-five times.
Shameem Akhter, eighteen, was raped by three boys who then threw acid on her. She has undergone plastic surgery ten times.
Najaf Sultana, sixteen. At the age of five, Najaf was burned by her father while she was sleeping, because he didn’t want to have another girl in the family. Najaf became blind and, after being abandoned by both her parents, now lives with relatives. She has undergone plastic surgery fifteen times.
Shehnaz Usman, thirty-six, was burned with acid by a relative due to a familial dispute. She has undergone plastic surgery ten times.
Shahnaz Bibi, thirty-five. Ten years ago, Shahnaz was burned with acid by a relative due to a familial dispute. She has never undergone plastic surgery.
Kanwal Kayum, twenty-six. Kanwal was burned with acid by a boy whom she rejected for marriage. She has never undergone plastic surgery.
Munira Asef, twenty-three. Munira was burned with acid by a boy whom she rejected for marriage. She has undergone plastic surgery seven times.
Bushra Shari, thirty-nine. Bushra was burned with acid thrown by her husband five years ago because she was trying to divorce him. She has undergone plastic surgery twenty-five times.
Memuna Khan, twenty-one, was burned by a group of boys who threw acid on her to settle a dispute between their family and hers. She has undergone plastic surgery twenty times.
Zainab Bibi, seventeen, was burned on her face with acid thrown by a boy whom she rejected for marriage . She has undergone plastic surgery several times to try to recover from her scars.
Naila Farhat, nineteen, was burned on her face with acid thrown by a boy whom she rejected for marriage. She has undergone plastic surgery several times.
Saira Liaqat, twenty-six, holds a portrait of herself (photo) before being burned. When she was fifteen, Saira was married to a relative who would later attack her with acid after insistently demanding that she live with him, although the families had agreed she wouldn’t join him until she finished school. Saira has undergone plastic surgery nine times.

Rico says that, so as not to ruin your meal, he picked the least horrifying photo of the bunch; if you're feeling strong, you can see the rest here. (And if this isn't an argument against male 'issues' with women, what is?)
