'You have no place in civilised society': Muslim family jailed for life after 'despicable' honour
Daily Mail ^ | 1/30/12 | Staff

An Afghan father, his wife and their son have been jailed for life after a jury found them guilty of killing three teenage sisters and a co-wife in what the judge described as a 'despicable' and 'heinous' crime. The jury had taken 15 hours to find Mohammad Shafia, 58, his wife Tooba Yahya, 42; and their son Hamed, 21, each guilty of four counts of first-degree murder. The four bodies were found in June 2009 in a car submerged in a canal in Kingston, Ontario, where the family had stopped for the night on their way home from Niagara Falls.

The media here last night described this incident as a “supposed honor killing” with no mention of the family being muslim. This country is in a state of denial of the threat at hand.

‘You have no place in civilised society’

Applies to Islam in general.

‘You have no place in civilized society’......Can't disagree with that but why do they get to live? Three hots and a cot is more than the girls were given.

I'm sure these turds still feel that they won one for some “grand idea”

Canada is too easy on murderers. This is just an advertisement for fanatic murderers..

Come to Canada and if you kill your wives and daughters, we will feed you for life!

Somebody ping Mark Steyn. The Canuckian government owes him an apology.

What`s a ``co-wife?``

Is that similar to a co-ncubine?

Is polygamy legal in The Great White North?

Canada doesn’t have the death penalty.

Good for the judge but unfortunately, I can see this being appealed especially involving Sharia law.

Absolutely. The left is winking at this for their own purposes, one day they’re going to have to face the consequences. How that will play out is an interesting question.

Yes.
A Muslim family can collect up to four welfare checks.

I hope like Hell prison gives them the death sentence they so richly deserved from the courts.

I’m bemused. They murdered the women ostensibly in defense of their family honor. Yet they deny their involvement in the murders. If it was an accident, then honor is not an issue. If it was honor, it was premeditated murder. Perversely, they were convicted on the evidence and by virture of their denials now have no claim to honor. The same denial would also preclude a review under sharia. I guess tribal savages aren’t strong in the thinking things through department.

“Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse. “What happened at Fort Hood was a tragedy, but I believe it would be an even greater tragedy if our diversity becomes a casualty here.” the Army Chief of Staff, Gen. George Casey, on ABC.

You are so right. Amazing what some will accept to avoid being called a bigot. There are some things in this world that must be fought.
