Sharia law Where are you now .
The hell that lady went through, and these people want to use our country as their own?
Sorry, that doesn't wash. It is normal in certain asian cultures to treat women almost as property, it is this attitude which leads to repression of women, "honour killings", and this kind of abuse. Dismissing wide held beliefs and practises as criminal behaviour is hiding your head in the sand.'Some Asians' ? ......'These people' .....? Like Huntley,Sutcliffe,Hindley,Brady, Bell,The Wests, Venables, Thompson ? The list goes on.... If your logic is followed through where does that leave us? Some White English people treat children like animals? Sadly no one culture or country has a monopoly on evil. Let's not use individual cases to feed a prejudice against a whole section of people, that way lies madness
Officially or unofficially?I'm sure you're not that ignorant to think that Pakistan is governed by Sharia Law?

Or are you saying Pakistan is the absolute paragon of a peaceful democratic society?
Large parts of it are though, aren't they? According to this in wickipedia even the mainstream law is influenced by it.I responded to a cheap shot at Sharia Law, where the country in question is not governed by it.
Upon the list of the Dominion of Pakistan in 1947 the laws of the erstwhile British Raj remained in force. At no point in Pakistan's legal history was there an intention to begin the statute book afresh. During the reign of General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, elements of Islamic Sharia law were incorporated into Pakistani law, leading to the institution of a Federal Shariat Court (FSC). In some Federally and Provincially Administered Tribal Areas [(FATA) and (PATA)], a system of law employing traditional methods persists at the local level. At this informal level, disputes are settled by a jirga, a council of tribal elders.
