Is this Britain's first white honour killing victim?

Laura Wilson was just 17 years old — a happy but headstrong girl whose love story across the racial divide would have a tragic ending. ‘She was feisty — if she had anything to say she would speak out,’ her mother Margaret says, as she showed me a picture of a smiling, mischievous teenager.

Laura’s Asian boyfriend, Ashtiaq Ashgar, also 17, was born in Britain but when Laura challenged his family’s traditional cultural values by confronting them with details of their relationship, she had to be silenced. One night in October 2010, Laura was lured to the banks of a canal in Rotherham in South Yorkshire, where Ashtiaq attacked her before throwing her into the water.

He was subsequently arrested and found guilty of Laura’s murder last June and sentenced to 17 years in prison. So does this mean that Laura was the first white victim of an honour killing in Britain?

I recall that Jesus told his followers, “You will know them by their fruits.” It’s obvious that the Religion of Peace bears bloody and deadly fruits.

They really take first degree murder seriously over there in Blighty now, huh?

Although only a teenager, Laura already had a baby by an Asian man, Ishaq ‘Zac’ Hussein, a 20-year-old.

some people never learn...

“a happy but headstrong girl”

I guess so. Making out with Pakistani Muslims is not a good idea.

The Religion of Peace strikes again. Too many white girls are f’ing stupid. Dating muslims in Britain, and thugs in America. I guess they like being treated like crap.

What is it with white women? Is there another group of women in the world that are abandoning their counterparts like they do? Liberalism has taught them well

He was sentenced to life imprisonment. 17 years is the amount of time he will have to serve in prison before he is eligible for parole...

I don’t understand it, and it pisses me off. You’re correct about the liberalism though. It’s “cool” to have a black boyfriend. That puts her off my list forever.

It’s a shame hanging’s gone out of fashion in the Anglosphere.

I agree, but as he was only 17 at the time of the murder, he wouldn’t have been hanged even if we still had the death penalty...

You noticed that too-—huh??

I always say the man who gets one of these women is in bad company.

Still , it doesn’t give some heathen Muslim a right to kill her, even if she was a slut.

Maybe he should have gone back to Muslim land where such things are legal.

I'm not certain of that. If she would have survived I somehow suspect this girl would have written it off as a fluke and continued on with muslim men.Perhaps her death will serve as a wakeup call to the rest of the women out there.... maybe it will take more deaths like hers before it starts to register.

Laura’s Asian boyfriend, Ashtiaq Ashgar...

For the few that don't know the PC code word, an "Asian" is a Muslim.

I don't think the term is exactly "PC" as we would understand it.

Europeans have always, or at least as long as this old man can remember, refered to middle eastern people as "asians". As in "Asia Minor". They rarely use the term "middle east".

It’s not just white women. Many women suffer from `bad boy syndrome’ and prefer the `charming rogue’ to salt of the earth Mr. Nice Guy. Prison romances and all that.

But if it’s a Muslim, the results are often fatal.

Convicted of what, in the US, would be considered 1st degree murder, and sentenced to 17 years?

I'm very sorry to say this, but if that's what passes for "justice" in Great Britain, they deserve what they're getting.
