Chuck Colson , in his daily Breakpoint commentary dated December 22ND, 2011, noted that an Afghan woman who was sexually assaulted wound up being imprisoned due to this act. Her attacker was a married man. Colson raises the point that this is a social perspective that we , as Americans would likely find unacceptable. It certainly strikes me as barbaric and repulsive.
It is often argued that critics of American Society often denounce us for the way we treat women, children, gays and lesbians yet seem to ignore the mistreatment of those very same individuals in other societies!
It does cause you to wonder shouldn't the same "negative treatment" gain the same "negative response" no matter where on this planet the offense occurs!
