A controversial female celebrity dubbed “Pakistan”s Kim Kardashian” has been strangled to death by her brother in what appears to be the country’s highest-profile honor killing.

Qandeel Baloch, 26, had shot to fame in recent months with a series of divisive publicity stunts starkly at odds with the country’s conservative values, most notably promising to strip for Pakistan’s cricket team if it beat India in the recent cricket T20 World Cup.

Her Facebook page on which she regularly posted provocative “selfie” photographs had 750,000 followers, but had also become a target of misogynistic abuse and threats. […]

For a muslim to freely practice his religion, others must die.

It’s a religious obligation.

This has nothing to do with Islam except she was killed because she had a soda while the sun was up.

Vacationing in Philly, was she?

Islam is not a “family first” religion, philosophy, or culture.

Many Infidel people don't seem to grasp that.

Doing what Allah wants done, and following the examples of Muhammad trump a Muslims family, country, tribe , and friends.
Muhammad made that very clear in the Hadiths. -tom

I saw one picture (not posted) that was pushing it for FR community standards, but probably not quite over the line. The rest is common for American teenagers and college girls.

As for a culture in which so many people are willing to kill their daughters and sisters for what they call "honor", I think the conclusion is obvious.

Pakistanis are a big segment of what the UK media rather euphemistically refers to as “Asians” (NEVER mention the ROP!/s) Britain and the rest of Europe are being flooded with this mentality, and they better take action NOW although it is very late in the game.....

“The media loves to do that! Find barbaric morals from some 7th century tribe and label them “conservative”. The media considers this a broad attack which somehow makes Republicans the bad guy.”

Screw the MSM!!!
