Honor killing. One of the practices of that peaceful and tollerant religion Islam. Here in TX last New Years, a taxi driver shot and killed his two daughters that were becoming "too westernized". But hey, maybe if we make allowances for their religion of peace, and shift our culture to fit more with theirs, everything will be better. Hey, I believe in the Freedom of Religion...but when that's used to justify killing one's children...well...I guess we'll need to make allowances, it is their religion afterall...

Button? I would want the actual syringe. I want to be able to look the MF in the eyes when I put it in his arm and say "Hey! It is your time now!" while I manually inject the stuff..... |

Islam like all are peaceful if follow correctly. This has nothing to do with Islam thou it does have to do with how he was raise. Remember we are more open to things here.
He grew up probably in a family who were very strict. This is a shame but it happens in every religion. |

SSW, I have been sitting at my desk, staring at these words you wrote for the last five minutes thinking of what else could be said. Words escape me, thoughts like stability, diplomacy, so that others may live free,,,, Is not worth one drop of my peoples blood, it seems as though for far to long we have shed our blood for decades, a century,,, for those that are so ungrateful, so unwilling themselves to sacrifice for their own advancement. I am so sick of my people being 5hit on... You know,,, you just can't help some people and these are not even people, they're animals, rabid, sick fk's, they murder their own daughters. AND You out there, the ones that think this is isolateted, wake the fk up. This may not be mainstream, but it is the norm,,,and it *IS* accepted by their own, fk them, turn them into glass already, put us and them out of our misery. |

Best place to find those “traditional Iraqi values” would be in Iraq….. "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe |

Yep, personally though I think that the term "honour killing" is wrong as many of them have nothing to do with honour but are about control, just as they were when the same thing used happen in Christendom. A man usually father or husband but often brothers fears that he may be losing his ability to force a woman to do his bidding. So rather than lose face he kills her. At the moment the attention is on Muslims doing this but it also happens regularly in Hindu India and I've no doubt in the nominally Christian parts of Africa. Come to think of it, I wonder just how long ago the last husband or father got away with killing his wife or daughter in Europe or America for similar reasons? |

It’s actually much more prevalent in India with their caste system. This message has been edited. Last edited by: NSNN, "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe |

It may happen in other religions, but not to the extent that we see in Islam. Whole countries subjugated(sp) by warped versions of this religion, Suicide bombings, women singled out for any expression that doesn't fit into Islam. Over the weekend in NY, The Daily News reported on a woman who attempted to cut her husbandds throat for being too "westernized". Other religions have their share of screw ups, but they can't hold a candle to what we see these days. |

BS. It has as much to do with religion as wearing a hijab or growing a beard as some Muslim religious groups purportedly require. That it is inculcated or embedded in some other religions is not a defense. |

I submit that the difference is the degree to which the act was part of a group norm or expectation ... or simply the random act of an individual. It seems to me that there is frequently a misplaced effort to use the latter to excuse the former ... |

Possibly but that was why I said "got away with" in that society colluded with the murderer. There are still crimes like this committed in Europe and America by whites but now they tend to be seen for what they are, I was just wondering how long ago it was that it was tacitly accepted. I have a feeling that there was at least one case in Victorian times in England that was quite famous but I can't recall the details. I also think it's a mistake to identify this specifically with a religion. I very much doubt that this sort of thing suddenly started in the late 7th century when Mohamed (pease be upon him |
