Slaughter for “honour”

More evidence of how the Religion of Peace™ likes to kill its own kind (as we saw in that disturbing story from Somalia earlier this week) comes to us from the BBC.

A story today tells us of a Muslim father who has been found guilty of slaughtering his daughter because she was with a man with whom her family had religious differences – even though all were part of the same “faith”.

But she had brought dishonour on the family. So she had to die.

Post a Comment

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.

We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.

Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.

Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.
