The story told in this video takes around seven minutes to tell. But it will haunt you for much longer.

What do you make of this story? About the commentary on the story? About what it says about technology? About us as a society? About our notions of morality? And, indeed, about how violence and criminality gets legitimized in the confused clash of all of the above?

    Amazing….if you’re going to spread propaganda at least do it in a subtle manner. The “acting” is quite obvious for these three sellout. They put the blame on everybody except the girl…oh, she just fell into some bad sin. And, how come this person knows that Mammo did a bad job? May be he did his best but the girl went on to fornicate anyway.

    Let us have more free mixing and dirty programs on cable. This is just a start, it will only get worse.

    All are guilty…the girl, the uncle for killing her when even by shariah this wasn’t allowed, the journalist, and the two boys for obvious reasons.

    @truth_seeker: You’re ruined! So, you measure a person’s worth by his PhD thesis?

    Thank you Adnan Siddiqi, for your “useful” sarcasm!

    But you are right: “YOU do not need to point out others to fix YOURSELF up.”

    I ill look forward to YOUR fixing YOURSELF up.

    ” When God has given you a “Brain” then its your responsibility to use it in positive and in controlled manner”

    Are you using your brain in a positive manner? How many PhD dissertations have you written that have fundamentally changed the course of life on earth?

    Who are you to decide what is the positive way of using the human brain? Oh sorry, you never used your own brains to decide, it was written for you in a book wasn’t it?

    @Junaid: your useless sarcasm is the only obstacle that does not let you admit the reality. One does not need to point out others to fix himself up. You re easily making such remarks because this did not happen with any kid in your family otherwise you would not have got time to make such pointless comment.

    @Asim: Sexuality is found in beasts and other kind of livings hence they often exhibit in “natural” way. When God has given you a “Brain” then its your responsibility to use it in positive and in controlled manner. If your brain does not have enough strength to hold you from what is bad then what’s the point of calling yourself a human? just because that human is wearing a designer suit?

    This is an idiotic show and having a discussion like this is just like Jerry Springer sharing his so called “final thought” with the audience. Now that the girl is dead, can we at least know where exactly this happened and the name(s) of all the culprits, the alleged boyfriend, the guy who allegedly published it on the internet, the journalist who made it a headline etc. To me it sounds like just one of those contrived stories I have heard before, like the young American/British paki who gets drunk one day, his father beats him up, and he calls the cops, the father spends the night in jail, comes back home packs up and the whole family leaves for Pakistan, the moment they arrive at the airport he gets out of the plane he starts to beat the crap out of his son, the son goes to the paki cops who also beat him for drinking!…..I must’ve heard this story in different versions and every teller of the story “knew” this family!…so, until I read/hear any solid proof of this particular story, I’d take it with a grain of salt…thats my opinion!
