A Eye For A Eye

[Cataholic]

I do not understand how someone can undergo such horrible pain and willingly inflict it on another. It won't change her loss of sight, and I don't think it would make me feel any better. What he did was wrong, completely, but, still.

I actually don't see any problem with it, let it be a lesson for others.

She may be able to make tea and a salad but what about her career?

There are many males (I will not refer to them as "human beings") in that part of the world who hate women. They are totally dysfunctional. And people wonder why many Americans fear and hate people from that part of the world.

I agree with you. Did you see (in the CNN link) her before & after pics?
See was a beautiful young woman. No other punishment would ever have
made sure the guy wouldn't have done the same thing to another woman.

If it happened to me or to someone I love, I would feel the same way as the victim. For a minute. Then I would come to my senses and realize that the perpetrator should be punished but not in that way. There's got to be another way. I don't know what it is but "an eye for an eye" isn't it. What separates us from them if we commit the same act? This is just an awful crime and my opinion is not meant to minimize the victim's pain and suffering but violence begets violence. Punish him to the fullest extent of the law but do not become what he is.

Maybe they believe in the bible where it says "an eye for an eye"? I really don't know how I would feel if I was in her shoes...I certainly would want them to be punished , but how do you punish this act if not in the same way? Over here a jail sentence would be imposed and the guy would be released after serving a third of his sentence, to me that would be so unjust while that poor girl is trapped by blindness till her death. That's a sick person to have committed this kind of act so unless imprisonned for life I think he would do it again. Maybe being blinded will curtail him from repeating?

Good for her. In that area of the world women need to stand up like Ameneh Bahrami has.

Besides being a punishment for the crime he commited against her, this
just might deter other men from doing the same thing to other women.

Women have very few rights at all in muslim countries & I'm glad she did
get justice in this case. Anybody remember the acid attacks on young
muslim girls on their way to classes ?

Sounds like justice being served to me.
