Pakistan rejects pro-women bill

Here is the proof, spelled out in plain black and white:

The parliament rejected the bill by a majority vote on Tuesday, declaring it to be un-Islamic.

Therefore, so-call "honor killings" must be, in fact, Islamic. And viola: the "religion of peace" condones murder. The way the US government coddles and cozies up to these killers makes me ill.

Pakistan government supporters ally with Islamists to reject a bill against "honour killing" of women.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
