This is a VERY DISTURBING video. Please view at your own discretion.
It is important, however, that we speak about and shout out about this video.
It shows a 17-year old girl being flogged by a Taliban leader of some sort in a perverted form of justice. Reportedly the incident happened in Kalakalay, Swat around 3 months ago (before the supposed peace deal with the government). The girl is being ‘punished’ for going somewhere without a male relative. Supposedly, the male companion was also flogged.
This video is also be discussed vigorously at Pakistaniat’s new Facebook page. Some of that disussion does not carry over here, although we hope it ultimately will.
In more recent developments, supposedly Sufi Mohammad in Swat has condemned the act and said this was not Baitullah’s Taliban. More importantly, the recent reinstated Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry has taken su moto notice of this incident. According to The News
Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry Friday took a suo motu notice of the media footage in which a 17 year old girl is being whipped out in the broad daylight in Swat. Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhdy ordered the matter to be presented before a larger bench on April 6. He also summoned Secretary Interior, IG and Chief Secretary on April 6. He ordered formation of 8-member larger bench to be headed by himself.
This is a story that all Pakistanis and all Muslims must speak about and speak against. There are those who will try to make this a story about what Pakistan or Islam is. Such bigoted approaches are to be resisted. This is not a story about what Pakistan is. This is clearly not about what Islam is. This is a story about what the enemies of Islam and enemies of Pakistan are doing. This is a story about what Pakistan must not allowed to become. The bad news is obvious in the video itself. The bad news is about the criminality being conducted in the name of religion. The good news is that the media, the judiciary and ordinary Pakistanis ARE speaking up and speaking out. We must do more so. For if we do not speak out against this criminality, who will?
it is amzing how these pro-talibanees keep harping the same chord that the video is fake….
and at least ten of us have refuted this claim by asking what even if video was fake….it is IRRELEVANT…because for the MILLIONTH time your DARLING “ISLAM KHAN” the master criminal mind, accepted that what ever was happening in the “FAKE video” is right and we should have actually stoned the girl…..so you think that GEO interview was also fake
wake up and realize…that majority of pakistani does not want talibanee paradigm…..we refuse to be dragged back to stone ages…..so now ZIP your lying mouths once and for all
and also a fellow AAMIR ALI just asked you v intersting questions on the previous page, do you deny all those recorded facts too, abut shameful history of mullahs?
and it just SHOWS LOW IQ OF PPL LIKE YOU….U KEEP DRAGGING THIS IRRELEVANT FACT THAT VIDEO IS FAKE – BACK INTO ARGUMENT IN YOUR ATTEMPTS TO COVERS THE BLOOD STAINED GROUND CREATED BY TALIBANEES WITH A SMALL DRIED WILTED LEAF…PATHETIC….WE ARE NOT STUPID
People say Pakistan made in the name of Islam but if Quid Azam know that they have to face this kind of Islam they will not even struggle for independence. We don’t want Sahryat of any Maslak on Pakistan specially dubandi who have no patience against other maslkas and even worst from Taliban. There should be law of Pakistan for every Maslak. See today’s express newspaper that 90% terrorist are form same Maslak
@zakoota
Why u wanna hide ur head in the sand???
Taliban did much more shameful things in Afghanistan.
Its amazing how a section of people still in DENIAL MODE.
@ Zakoota…
Refer to the 2nd Video embedded in this post….
the spokesman is not only admitting this happened…but is going into the details of the case….!!
can you please stop lying? ive started to develop a rash just by reading such garbage!
This is for every one who think that Sharayt (Taliban sharyat) is the only solution to the problems of Pakistan. First understand it that a vast majority of population of Pakistan is not the same firqa as Taliban are which is Wahabi’s. Who are extremist. So what Taliban plans for all these maslaks kill them all. Pakistan is the land of sofia karams. It was made for this Islam not wahabis Islam majority of whom oppose creation of Pakistan. I don’t know why are we trying to prove these Taliban bandits wrong every one know they are criminals who gathered to earn some profit in the name of Shariyat. Second If you talk about shairat. Do you know when there were real sahriyat in Muslim world, even if a Khalif do some thing wrong an ordinary person can talk about it and tell him to correct it. Do your wahabi’s sharyat or Taliban have such guts to listen. I bet if you say something against the Taliban leader in swat they will hang you. Why do you think that we will support this kind of definition of sharyat.
I don’t under stand if we talk about the swat incident why you people remember Doctor Afia. It was done by a American who are kafir but what is the difference between him and you if you are doing the same thing in the name of shariat. Shame on every Mulla and every person who are defending Taliban in this barbarian act.
What about the thousand of innocent Muslims that were killed by these bandits. will you and any Taliban supporter give any explanation to that. There can’t be any explanation or reason for their murders.
