Outrage mounted in Pakistan and abroad on Friday over President Pervez Musharraf’s comment that many Pakistanis felt that crying rape is an easy way to make money and move to Canada.Canadian PM Paul Martin has already condemned the remarks made by Musharraf.Musharraf told The Washington Post in an interview published on Tuesday, ‘‘A lot of people say if you want to go abroad and get a visa for Canada or citizenship and be a millionaire, get yourself raped.’’Dawn, Pakistan’s leading English language daily, rounded on Musharraf in an editorial headlined ‘‘Wrong thing to say’’. ‘‘If this attitude, of blaming rape and other crimes against women on women themselves . begins to travel upward from ignorant mullahs and male chauvinists to permeate the higher echelons of the administration, then God help us,’’ it said. —Reuters
