This aotehnr horrible example of how corrupt the system in Pakistan is.It would be better for the Pakistanis to raise awareness about these practices and other related to general rape laws issues in their country, instead of wasting their time at IAW booths bashing Israel!

hahaha Islamic extremist which is Arab, believe or not you sound like a little boy
despite what this topic is talking about don’t comment about things you don’t know, do you know that 30% of Arabs are Christians and 70% are Muslims…. OK, did you know that Arabs represent 10-15% of Muslims around the world because the population of Muslims are 1.9 BILLION people but only the population of Arabs INCLUDING the Christians are only 300 million that is less than a half of a quarter of the Muslim population and if you don’t believe me look it up yourself. you didn’t know that did you,? besides who said most of terrorism is from Muslims where is proofs

I sometimes watch the Jewish cable channel and I happened to see an interview with you. I believe that somehow we know who we are and that it was a matter of time until you discovered that you are Jewish. That you were raised Muslim and thought to be Muslim didn’t matter because you discovered who you really are. It is a blessing to all Jews that you have made this discovery and you will do much good in the world. It is you and those like you who give me hope. How discouraging that even after the Nazis tried to wipe the Jews off the face of the earth, there are many countries (mostly the muslim countries) that teach their population that the holocaust never happened. I believe this discovery that happened to you was meant to be; I wish you the best in your quest to inform those who are lied to. I think you know that your name will go down in history.

Hello Mark/David!
I have lately been inspired by this quote: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can CHANGE THE WORLD. It’s the only thing that ever does.” – and such “group” needn’t necessarily be so “small” – or that ‘evolved’ even (well, ‘evolving’ can be relative?!) …! – I shall welcome any further comments of yours with interest … if preferred, on: Corinne.Joy@cwgsy.net … Shalom, Corinne

Comment on Girl raped for 11 days by police, in Pakistan by James Marsden

Mr. Mark Halawa, I find it very strange the way you have pointed your guns toward Pakistan. Mind you I am not a fan of the way the affairs are governed in Pakistan, but you are totally ignoring the lawlessness that prevails in Middle Eastern countries, who are used to get fat and rich on the expense of workers from Asian in particular the South Asian and Southeast Asian countries. Of late, many reports have broken where the rich ‘Shayookh’ have satisfied their lust by devouring the servant women working in their villas. You talk about system, I guess you better cast an unbiased eye across the Arab world…

Comment on Yalla Peace: The challenges of Arab-Jewish matrimony by Mark Halawa

You asked “Are you encouraging Jews to marry Arabs, or what?”

Thanks for the comments, and ABSOLUTELY not.. I encourage everyone to marry from his own faith, as to not to go through marriages problems in the future, and to avoid exposing the children to identity issues where they’ll have to decide between father, or mother’s family.

This article merely highlights the fact that there are such marriages. I’ve personally met mixed marriage couples in different Arab countries, where the women were Jewish or Christian, or the other way around, in Canada and the United States.
