“...on their way to the airport in Montreal where they lived.”

They lived in the airport?

Cases like the Shafi and Said sisters pose comprehension difficulties for North Americans, since honor murder is a heinous and horrific practice outside the experience of the Western world. But the West will have to get used to it. Honor murder is here to stay.From the article.

Does it have to be so?

Are we that weak as Westerners to have to put up with this?

Could we go ahead an bulldoze all the Mosques? Maybe we could start, say, this next Monday?

Don't take me wrong, I'm not against freedom of religion. Islam is not a religion. It is mainly a political construct. And an ever growing cancer.

I apologize for my post above. It was a bit over the top and a little harsh. We can wait until Tuesday or Wednesday.

Here is General Napier's response to Indian complaints about not being allowed to practice suttee:

A story for which Napier is famous involves a delegation of Hindu locals approaching him and complaining about prohibition of Sati, often referred to at the time as suttee, by British authorities. This was the custom of burning widows alive on the funeral pyres of their husbands. The exact wording of his response varies somewhat in different reports, but the following version captures its essence:

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."[3]

All of Canada was in shock last Thursday ...

Shocking, yes - but not unexpected. While still relatively rare here, the murders of three teenage girls and a woman is to me totally unacceptable. I don't give a rat's behind about his family honor, and will never get used to it.

Just this last Sunday the Chicago Hilton hosted a conference of Al Qeada.

Very sad. And sick. Those poor girls and woman.

Years ago, before 9/11, there was a story about the FBI investigating a man - also Muslim - for possible terrorist activities. They’d wiretapped his home and would listen to each day’s recording the next day. The man was heard arguing with his teenage daughter for dating, working, and dressing in Western style. One day, the agent listened to the previous day’s tape and heard the man and his wife murdering her, all caught on tape.

Lest anyone think the above is an urban legend, I just searched and found it quickly.

We were horrified back then. Now it’s become a typical story in the news.

No urban legend. I remember it well. It was horrifying. They could hear the child’s screams on the tape.

Unfortunately, this is occurring with such regularity in the UK and Canada that it’s no longer making shocking news. There is one things immigrants are deadly scared of-denaturalization and deportation.

All western nations must do is to adopt a few sensible laws. If an immigrant is found guilty of a felony he/she is subject to immediate and automatic deportation.

If the defendant(s) is a naturalized citizen, he/she is subject to automatic de-naturalization and deportation.

Watch how this will all end if such laws are enacted.

Completely unacceptable behavior. I bet money the murders don't think they should have to pay for their crimes. I'm looking forward to their courtroom behavior when it dawns on them that they are going to jail for a long time.

Good thing they were caught before they fled back to Afghanistan.
