Just because an evil act is perpetrated on one person, rather than many people, does not make the act less evil. Furthermore, of course President Karzai knew about the provisions in Sharia Law. For him to deny this is laughable. I saw the videos about women protesting, in spite of a gang of men threatening them. I was amazed at the bravery of these women.
