THIS is an honour crime I can support!

Two Afghani males recently found out that just because their fathers are the governor and police chief of Jawzjan Province doesn't mean they can do what they like.

A group of male villagers found out that they had been sowing their wild oats with a pair of young females in the village. Past history would suggest that the girls would be punished, often with a fate worse then death--followed by death. Not in Jawzjan Province!

No, they didn't go after the girls--they went after the men, gang-raping them, robbing them of pistols and thousands of US dollars, and leaving them naked in the desert. They had to return home wearing burqas worn by the women they 'fraternized' with. According to the police, they couldn't sit down when they returned home XD

If only the rest of the Arab world would see this as an example to follow when dealing with violated family honour.
