Pakistan: Poll Finds 67% Support Honor Killings; 50% think “Sharia Law” brings peace

Should we even call them human beings anymore? If I were Pakistani, I would get the hell out of there while I still had the chance.

…..The British government has funded research into public opinion in the tribal areas, the poorest area of Pakistan where the average local income is half the national average and average per capita development expenditure under a third of that elsewhere.

Locals, who express a strong desire for more jobs, hold mixed views on the cause of local “Talibanisation”, blaming it on the Afghan conflict, corrupt and inefficient local government, poverty and illiteracy. Though there is strong support for better female access to health and education, there was profound reluctance among the largely male survey respondents to empower women more generally, with 67% supporting “honour killings”. Over 50% of those polled believed Islamic law brought peace to the region and only 3.6% considered the Taliban to be terrorists.

    If this poll is a true reflection of thinking amongst Paki muslims
    then it shows their general mindset of insanity.
    Of course the honour killings are integral to their concept of peace;is that sick ,sad or what?
    How can anyone treat these morons as anything but diseased and dangerous.
    It's evidence that Islam is iatrogenic mental pathology.

    Wow, although I cant say that I'm at all surprised by these results. These muz nutjobs are killing themselves all over the world, why would pakistan be any different. 67% support honor killings, I wonder how the question was worded...I would have guessed at an even higher number.
    Hopefully Israel will nuke Iran in the next couple of months and force the west to wake the hell up. These "people" are only one step up gorillas.

    btw, nicks suck, jets suck, giants suck...and islam sucks most of all.
