Thank Allah for the Taliban?
Think you've got a strong stomach? Bet me $100, then watch this Allahforsaken video of a 17-year-old girl, from The Guardian. Here's the description:
The two-minute video, shot using a mobile phone, shows a burka-clad woman face down on the ground. Two men hold her arms and feet while a third, a black-turbaned fighter with a flowing beard, whips her repeatedly. "Please stop it," she begs, alternately whimpering or screaming in pain with each blow to the backside. "Either kill me or stop it now."...A crowd of men stands by, watching silently. Off camera a voice issues instructions. "Hold her legs tightly," he says as she squirms and yelps. After 34 lashes the punishment stops and the wailing woman is led into a stone building, trailed by a Kalashnikov-carrying militant."
I made it 30 seconds in before I wanted to close out, but I made myself watch.
How long did you last?
I question why you'd link to
I question why you'd link to this video for the sole reason of making it a viewer endurance test. You are reducing a public display of despicable violence to torture-porn and a trivial "how long can I watch a woman be severely beaten" contest. To me, this kind of nonconstructive, viewer-focused commenting on a piece of news really doesn't belong in a progressive forum such as this.
I came in about 20

That was hot.
seriously...
what the hell are you thinking posting this? It is one thing to decry the violence against women and another to turn her suffering into a Vegas style dare. How dare you.
The video should be posted
The video should be posted but not as a contest.
girl being whipped
What I wouldnt give to see all these liberal tolerant Western women get their asses whipped by the Muslims. Needless to say, they would all be conservatives afterwards.
