A mother and two daughters were allegedly killed by male relatives in southern Egypt who believed they’d had affairs, the latest apparent example of so-called “honor killings” in which women are slain for violating traditional morals in the conservative region, a security official said Friday.

Police believe the 10 men stormed the house of the women, strangling them and beating them with sharp tools, the official said, based on the alleged confession of one of the suspects. The men wrapped the women’s bodies in blankets, weighted them with stones and threw them in the river Nile, the official added.

He said one of the men, arrested on Thursday, gave a detailed account of the killings and said they were intended to protect the family’s honor. …

in the conservative region

Any wonder why lazy, stupid AP journalists make the jump between the Tea Party and religious totalitarians. These backward savages from Egypt who kill women upon a rumor of adultry are "conservative." Are these Egyptians going around in colonial garb with copies of the Constitution and Gadsden flags? Is there a Tea Party in Egypt????

Whenever Muslims chop off somebody’s head or otherwise behave like Muslims, the press loses no chance to call the offenders “conservatives.”

It’s not just AP, although they are certainly prime offenders. It’s all of them.

No, Islam is not a conservative religion. It is a totalitarian, power-mad religion. They get on very nicely with Nazis and Communists. But try to tell that to a politically correct presstitute.

March 6, 2007, Nicholas D. Kristof New York Times interview:
He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics — and more likely to be aware of their nationalism — if he once studied the Koran with them.

No mention of Islam or Muslim in the article. It’s like it has nothing to do with it.... Shame on AP.

Luckily, Egyptians only drink bottled water from the store, not Nile river water. Besides, who would you sue if you took your bucket down to the river to get some fresh drinking water and there was a head, hand or leg in your bucket?

I do believe Obama has inspired a lot of these attacks. These Islamist pigs believe Obama has their backs.

Even black U.S. students were heard to say, “Don’t have to do that work! Got Bama now!”
