While other country kill their women for adultery, ours reward them with money from the ex-husband whom they betrayed.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The Taleban's public execution of a young Afghan woman, captured in a shocking video, should serve as a reminder of the Islamist militant movement's brutality, the White House said on Monday.
The 22-year-old victim, who was accused of adultery, was shot to death while a crowd of men cheered on, prompting global revulsion and renewing fears that recent gains for women are under threat as Nato troops leave Afghanistan.
White House spokesman Jay Carney condemned the killing, echoing similar sentiments of horror expressed by the top United States military commander in Afghanistan, General John Allen, Afghan President Hamid Karzai, and the US embassy in Kabul.
'Under the Taleban's rule, women's rights were ignored, attacked and eroded. This cold-blooded murder is another reminder to the Afghan people and the international community of the brutality of the Taleban,' Mr Carney said.
