Brutal lashing of a young girl in Swat

There were scenes on cable networks of a 17 years old girl being lashed on her back by Taliban of Swat. The girl only crime was that she was reported walking out with her father in law. The neighbour is reported to be the one who incited local Taliban against that girl.

This act of Taliban has made the whole nation very furious.Parents have become scared of their young girls. Writ of Government in Swat has completely failed. The personal vengeance has taken control of this scenic valley.People are settling their personal scores through taleban of the area.

Lets analyse this from Islamic perspective. She was with in the Islamic limitations of going or walking with her own father in law. She did not commit any adultery. There was no witness to prove any guilt on her part. While watching the video on tv one can see that that innocent girl was held by two adult Taliban from hands and feet and a third was lasing at her back. She was crying in pain in from of hundred of men standing around. It was a brutality and totally against injunctions of Islam.

Taliban are on path of tarnishing the beautiful image of Islam through such acts and videos. Government of Pakistan and NWFP has clearly failed in protecting the citizen of such brutalities.

All eyes are on the suo motto action taken by Chief Justice of Pakisran Mr. Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudary who has constituted a full bench and ordered provincial government and its top officers to appearbefore the bench.
