Muslim women protesting "rape" law get pelted with stones

On Wednesday in Kabul, Afghan women protesting the controversial new law legalizing marital rape were pelted with stones by a mob of angry men.

Dozens of women gathered outside a mosque to denounce the law that would obligate wives to have sex with their husbands at least once every four days and forbid women to leave their homes without their husband's permission.

Unfortunately, these brave demonstrators were outnumbered by fervent supporters of the law, comprised of both men and women. A hundred female supporters shouted "Allah is great" while 200 angry men threw stones at the protesters.

But remember kids, Islam is a religion of peace.

I don't see how even the most liberal cultural relativist can defend this law. Family pets have more autonomy than Afghan women would under this mandate.
