She made some pretty good points but it fell on deaf ears.

Blessings to all who suffer. May my humble attempt to reconcile be of good will.

What do you think of a society such as that?

Personally?; I grew up in the 1970's.. I know a hundred and one interesting pieces of music.. A mental jukebox.

What has the first two videos helped you to experience?


: My opinion is the lady could "blow hard" with rhetoric as well as the average law reciter.
Just my humble opinion.

Of course it fell on deaf ears, In that part of the world the women have no say in anything, they are uniformly ignored by men. Islam is as much to blame for this as is the culture.

Western vs Middle Eastern.

If I understand things right in Saudi Arabia there are Woman only malls and stores.

It's some harsh reality there with the religious police.

So this woman in the video is pushing the boundaries for the Muslim world but seems normal to the western world.

She is actually fighting for her life. Honor is very important in tribal societies around that region and as we all know, honor killings are commonplace. She is either going to have to go in to hiding or leave Pakistan altogether. It's either that or die at the hands of a fanatic.

Yep, it's the Stone-age for woman's rights there.
By Stone age I mean stoned to death. That is where all your friends and neighbours throw rocks at you until you are dead.

This reminds me of that John and Yoko Ono song.

I hope she has a ticket to ride.

She could seriously get out of dodge in my opinion.

Reminds me of dealing with racists in the south. All the wisdom and truth is worthless against bullets.

Come be a part of the USA.. I'll marry her and she can live in the USA.

Sources close to Veena said she had received threatening phone calls since returning from India and was trying to keep a low profile these days.
She's not going anywhere. That takes a lot of courage to fight the rising fundamentalism that is sweeping her country.
