Terrorism, the personal kind.

[mrk]

We've read about these acid attacks before but it doesn't quite stand out as to how severe these attacks are without pictures and some detail in the descriptions to make you wonder how people can do things like this.

We typically think of terrorism as a political act.

But sometimes it’s very personal. It wasn’t a government or a guerrilla insurgency that threw acid on this woman’s face in Pakistan

Not suitable.

If you sit and thing about all the thinks someone could do to hurt ou, you wouldn't want to go outside again.

I'd rather die than end up like the image in the OP, without question. Many of these acts probably stem from religous beliefs because they treat women as inferior beings, and typically they ae very devoted to the casue. I think it's sick, and a reason I can't stand religion at all (does not mean I don't like religious people, please don't misconstrue).

I find it hard to see why in the UK we have a lot of something, and many other places in the world have a lot of nothing.

Those religious beliefs are 99.9% of the time completely wrong and backwards though because no religion I have ever heard of Islamic or not puts women in such a low position of power and accepts them merely as objects.
