A 15 year-old Afghan bride, who was burned, beaten and had her fingernails torn off in the basement of her husband's house is recovering. She had reportedly fled the household to avoid being forced into prostitution by the family but was returned to them by the police since the noble civil servants figured that heh, it was either that or jail for the girl.
We catch wind of this sort of things now and then, but horrific abuse on women is commonplace in nations in which the religion of peace is the primary system. Islam does not allow women to leave their houses unless they are accompanied by a male relative. While the Left put marriage in its sights in the West in the 40s and 50s, saying it amounted to slavery of women, and subsequently has done everything within its power to destroy the family, Islam was there the whole time showing what real female slavery is all about. While Jay Leno's wife comes out and says that the Koran provides for better treatment of women than does the Bible, Islam makes sure that it will not be allotted second place in this contest. In Islam second place is for losers.
This is what is going on - High School Freshman or Sophomore-age girls are required to marry and then, essentially their life is over. Islam is such a pervasive system that not only do whole families get on board with abusing these child-brides, but even the families (Read menfolk) of these girls have no desire or courage to stand up for their daughters, sisters or cousins. Even the threat of criminal prosecution or civil actions in a Western nation would not be enough to stop all men from that region of the world from making the savage abusers regret ever considering mistreating their relatives in the first place. Islam requires the families of these girls to not only yield to the "rights" of the in-laws, but even causes them to be ashamed of their children for running away in the first place. Some may recall the girl who also ran away and consequently had her ears and nose cut off by her in-laws. Her father, far from being torn by anguish and ready to fly into a rage, ("Rage, Goddess, sing the rage of Peleus' son Achilleus" - First line of the Iliad) sheepishly did nothing and reassured his daughter that he would find her another husband -yea, that's what she wants, to be married again.

While we rightfully know that some sort of punishment must occur for the Marines who urinated on their slain enemies' bodies, others in the West are ready to call for extensive jail terms for these young men who did not do one-tenth of what occurs to living, breathing girls who are trapped in a system of true slavery.
There is no doubt that our military members are subject to the laws of war and therefore cannot walk away without administrative (Hopefully not criminal) punishment for their actions, but many in the West (Read mostly Leftists) are ready to literally throw the book and more at these Marines.
One point that is not addressed very often is the Arabization of regions once Islam is entrenched. No matter what the culture of a particular group, Islam turns each one into a more severe mirror-image of a pagan Arab society. The Koran, if it indeed going to be a Koran, must be written in Arabic or it can only be considered a commentary of that book of tolerance.This and other Arab-superiority factors tend to cause converted societies to try their best to prove that they are not second-class Muslims. Not only does the society become Arab-like, it generally has a tendency to become as severe as possible in its quest to become purely Islamic. Those of these cultures seem to seek to be "more Arab than the Arabs themselves".
The people of Afghanistan are descended from proud peoples, mainly Indo-European Iranians ( Not Persian of modern Iran, which is a subgroup of Iranian) and Turkics (Not Ottomans and others of Modern Turkey, also subgroups of the widespread ethnic Turks). These were fiercely independent peoples who no doubt may have terrorized their enemies but did not engage in terrorizing their own family members by marrying them off to be abused, forced into prostitution, mutilated, or killed by their new families.
Most are not aware that Alexander the Great's first wife*, Roxanne (Or Roxana) was the daughter of a Iranian noble named Oxyartes. This man was a proud warrior and leader. Even though he had been defeated by Alexander's capture of the Sogdian fortress, Oxyartes would never have allowed the Macedonian King to get away with treating his daughter with anything less than the utmost of respect.
* The story of Roxana is a tragic one. After Alexander's death, she moved to Macedon with his young son.
Years later, when the heir was around 14, he and his mother were murdered (probably by poisoning) by the ever-scheming and selfish Cassander, who resented Alexander and wanted the Macedonian thrown for himself. The vast majority of the stories about Alexander's megalomania, drunkenness, rages, etc. are the result of Cassander's subsequent prohibition on the writing or publishing of anything good about the dead King. It was not until Cassander's death that accurate and reasonably complimentary accounts of Alexander could be distributed. To this day we still have historians [sic} who cling tenaciously to the wildy exaggerated, derogatory, and false accounts of his life that originated from the time of Cassander's censorship.
