Back to current events:
Imagine a woman gang-raped and killed on a bus in Islamabad or Kabul by a crowd who targetted her for being out with a ghair mahram late at night. How would the media and its pundits explore the situation? Would Islam be thrust in the limelight, a secondary topic, or ignored completely as relevant to the issue?
