Islam has called girls a blessing, but as a society we seem to be under oath, a vow unbreakable- to do everything in our power to make her a burden. I feel like an iressponsible human, let alone Muslim when I hear of such crimes.My stomach is doing convulsions ever since I’ve seen the news, who am I to even try to comprehend what her family must be suffering through? To be silent would make of equal to those committing such sins. I would like to see the thousands that drone on about drones on every media platform available just once condemn the vile acts committed against little Sumbal- if a protest march is too much to ask for. And as I write that my conscience laughs for we live the world of our feudal lords.A world where MNA’s sit in assembly and defend honor killings by calling them traditions; murderers smile and laugh on the day their sentence is handed out to them. A farce of justice,carefully constructed where the judiciary can claim they did their duty and society did theirs and yet if justice was not meted out the onus is on the parents who were seeped in avarice and not in love of their son. Like I said, we have tendency to malign the victim to appease the pinpricks of our conscience, for it is a voice we so seldom hear that even it’s whispers seem like the boom of cannons.
