Pakistani lawmakers trying to change their insane Dark Ages hadood laws ran afoul of the Religion of Peace™: Pakistan opposition MPs protest change to rape laws.
ISLAMABAD (AFP) - Pakistani opposition lawmakers walked out of federal parliament in protest at government proposed amendments to Islamic rape laws.
Rights groups have been demanding the government repeal the current laws which place an almost impossible burden of proof on women and expose victims to charges of adultery.
Opposition MPs mostly from the hardline Islamic alliance Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal shouted slogans and tore up copies of the bill before walking out after Law Minister Wasi Zafar introduced the legislation to change the laws.
“Death to (President Pervez) Musharraf,” “Those who are friends of America are traitors” and “Allah is Great,” the politicians shouted.
“This bill is against Holy Koran and Shariah, we reject it and (will) try to block it in any possible manner,” said opposition leader Maulana Fazalur Rehman.
