MULTAN: A man shot and killed his two sisters on Thursday in eastern Pakistan because he suspected they were having love affairs – an affront to family’s name, police said.
The suspect, Muhammad Ashraf, 35, was arrested shortly after he opened fire on the women in Vehari, about 100 kilometres southeast of Multan, said Abdul Sattar, a police official.
Sattar identified the women only by their first names: Kaneez, 27, and Naveed, 25. Naveed had filed a court case seeking a divorce, and her sister was going to the court in connection with the case when the attack occurred, the police official said. “We have arrested this man who says that he killed his sisters to protect family’s honor,” Ashraf said.
Killing of women for honour is common in Pakistan, where men consider it an affront to the family when their female relatives have affairs or even choose a husband without the family’s approval.
The latest killings came weeks after Pakistan’s top human rights group in its annual report said that crimes against women had not dropped in this Islamic nation, although the government had taken some steps to address the problem. The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan said that at least 1,242 cases of violence against women were reported in the first eight months of 2005. ap

The bonds of familial love engendered by the Religion of Peace are a real thing of beauty, aren't they?
You gotta love these lunatics. Infidelity is an "affront," but murder is OK.
Why can't everyone be civilized like the Muslims?
Have you seen the "baby boom" cartoon?
Islam is evil.
"Man ‘honour kills’ two sisters"
- He must be a good Muslim. Only 'good' muslims who take Islam seriously engage in fratricide.
Plus not having them raped first shows how much he loved them.
"Plus not having them raped first shows how much he loved them."
- That's probably why he killed them...becuase they wouldn't engage in incest with him.
For the life of me, I can't see how we can coexist with such evil.
I may have, but I don't remember it.

We can't. This generation is probably OK, but the PC of this generation will be responsible for thousands, maybe millions, of deaths for the next generation.
We can't; but we will pretend we can , and kick the problem down the road, until it is so obvious that we have to do something about it. - tom
He suspected? Insane is the only word that fits. The result of an active imagination and too many hormones, I suppose.
