That story from Pakistan is so disgraceful.
But as I've harped on about before, we do need to acknowledge the complicity of western powers, especially the historical governments of the US, UK and France in the proliferation of conservative political Islam in the last half century.
Note I said complicity, not responsibility …
They are still doing it, the US has just returned to arming Al-Qaeda in Syria / JAN / JFAS.
As for France, in one breath Francois Hollande will sign a multi-billion euro deal to sell two dozen military helicopters to the Saudi Arabian regime, and in the next he'll declare he would not reverse the burqa ban.
