Most Non Muslims who believe in civilized way of life and other
rational minded "moslems" ( they are not serious moslems ) like Sir
Salman Rusdie have opposed these kind of bestial practices. There
are more supporters for this system in moslem community that ppl
opposing and then there are Non Moslems also ( such as the Indian
National congress, RJD , Mamta Banerjee , Rahul Gandhi etc in
India. In U.K. some labor MP's ) who support such female torturing
practices to maintain their scam-full corrupt govt, supported and
financed by islamic fundamentalists. A clear citation of this is
the Shah Bano Case ( wiki Shah Bano Case )
