Did anyone see BBC "The Killing of Farkhunda" last night?
It happened back in March 2015, and this show was originally broadcast in August.
This is the woman who was beaten, kicked, stoned, and burned to death in Kabal, bec it was alleged she had burned a Koran.
It turns out she had not burned a Koran.
Now she is called a martyr and there is a plaque at the site of her death.
But nowhere in the program did anyone say,
"And if she HAD burned a Koran, would this have been ok?"
