Acid attacks of this kind happen all too often to women in Pakistan and Afghanistan. They are a manifestation of the culture of violence that is created by the divine sanction Islam gives to beating disobedient women (cf. Qur’an 4:34). Celebrate diversity!
“Muslim Throws Acid on Young Christian Woman in Pakistan,” Morning Star News, February 6, 2023:
LAHORE, Pakistan (Morning Star News) – A Muslim in Karachi, Pakistan on Wednesday (Feb. 1) threw acid on a 19-year-old Christian woman for refusing his pressure to enter into relationship and convert to Islam, sources said.
Sunita Masih, who lives with her sister after the death of her parents, left the house in Masoom Shah Colony, in Karachi’s Kala Pull area, to go to work that morning. After getting off a bus at Cantt station, her Muslim neighbor, Kamran Allah Bux, threw acid on her and fled, said her uncle, John Masih.
“Sunita is just 19, but now her whole life has been physically and mentally scarred by Kamran,” her uncle said. “Even if he is convicted for his crime, will Sunita be able to live a normal life again? We all know how our society treats acid attack survivors, even though they are the victims of this heinous crime.”
Sunita Masih suffered 20 percent burns in the attack.
“My eyes, face, arms, and legs started burning as soon as Kamran threw the acid on me,” she told police from her hospital bed. “The pain was so excruciating that I collapsed on the road.”
Bux had been pressuring her to enter into a relationship with him, John Masih said.
“He would try to force her to renounce her Christian faith, assuring her that he would marry her once she became a Muslim, but she refused to surrender to his illegitimate demands,” Masih said. “Sunita had informed her siblings about Kamran’s harassment, and they had repeatedly complained to his parents, urging them to stop him, but that did not work.”
The family had registered a complaint with police to stop the harassment, but they did not act on it, he said. When all efforts failed, Sunita’s brother-in-law beat Bux, which also did not deter him, John Masih said.
The family, members of a Salvation Army church, was seeking justice for Sunita Masih, whose face and other parts of her body were disfigured in the attack.
Assistant Sub-Inspector Sagheer Ahmed of the Frere Police Station said officers had registered a case against Bux for hurt by corrosive substance (Section 336-B of the Pakistan Penal Code) and had taken him into custody.
“We obtained his two-day physical remand from a court during which he confessed to the heinous crime,” Ahmed told Morning Star News. “In his statement, Kamran claimed that he had fallen in love with Sunita and had attacked her with acid in retaliation after she rejected his marriage proposal.”…

f you date or marry a Muslim man you do so at your own ignorant risk. Do some damn research on Islam, the Quran and how women are treated and regarded under Sharia (Islamic Law).

Agreed on the education and knowledge about islam. It’s why the world silences, imprisons, and slaughters those who expose it.
This girl encountered islam in its purest form. After she pursued every available avenue including reports to police, who did nothing, he ensured that she will spend decades broken and despairing for refusing him. He could have murdered her but he clearly wanted her to live her life as a sign to those who oppose islam.

Good advice not just for women but for politicians like Trudeau & Peers, including the woke crowd that votes for them to the destruction of their own non-Muslim host country.

Islam leads to these kind of NUT JOBS running wild in society, harming women just because they can get away with it under islamic laws.
