Default Re: Two women beheaded by militants in Pakistan

Salam,

Whilst it is terrible that these women should be beheaded in the manner described in the article, I actually posted this article because of it's structure and the way it was written.

Notice how they talk about this:

Quote:
Two lovers were tied to trees and stoned to death by angry relatives in central Punjab province in January in a so-called "honour killing" because of their allegedly immoral activities.
which has nothing to do with the headlined story, and is immediately apparent to anyone who has even the most basic knowledge of Pakistan that it is in a completely different region of the country from where the so-called Taliban are supposed to be "hiding" out.

The whole slant of the article is to show how Pakistan is in danger of being taken over by these radical hillbillies who have no respect for law or decency. Sensationalist reporting wrapped in the garb of respectability.
