    RIP Qandeel Baloch. I've been watching a lot of Riz Ahmed's stuff recently. I'm glad I came across this song. Not only is it catchy but the ending with Qandeel Baloch felt personal. Let's change the mindset of people that think what happened to her is okay. There is no honour in "honour" killings. Islam does not teach this. Women are equal to men and both should be treated the same.
