Modern Day Romeo and Juliet. Oh the Romance

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=455400&in_page_id=1879

So here is the article and news story of the day. It's a great article about two lovers in Pakistan. You would be doing yourself a favor to read it. As a warning though. There are some pretty fuzzy, but graphic images.

I'm not going to even give a summary because there is to much in it. The only comment I wanted to say was, after reading it, I didn't get the same feeling of love and hopeless romantics as you would if you read Romeo and Juliet. All it really does is make you a little sick to your stomach to see what still happens in the world, that most people thought only happened in the Bible.

If you want to know the reason most sensible atheists are not fans of religion, not just yours, not just muslims. This article had a religion I'd never heard of. A seventeen year old girl, just for falling in love with a different religion. Frowned upon here, and stoned to death still in other parts of the world. For her family's honour. Sick.
