The brother of the Muslim actress Afshan Azad, who played Padma Patil in the Harry Potter films, was sentenced to six months in prison Thursday for beating his sister after he heard her talking to her Hindu boyfriend.
Ashraf Azad, 28, called his sister a prostitute and screamed ''Marry a Muslim or you die!'' during a three-hour beating, during which, the actress said in a Manchester, England court, she feared for her life.
Afshan Azad, 21, was punched, strangled, and dragged by her hair by her brother, but she still pleaded for the judges leniency during the sentencing hearing, and asked he not be jailed.

Or the muslim “Cosby” show Katie Couric suggested.
Thank you so much for helping me with a deflection of your own making. My opinion must be flawed because it does not coincide with yours.
I didn’t ask for “council” I was making a legitimate point. If you can’t handle that, don’t pass it off on me.
With greatest respecr,

She should follow, Fathima Rifqa Bary’s lead and leave and don’t turn back.
21 years of being raised by these people creats one hell of a Stockholm syndrome. She isn’t rational, because she was raised not to be.
KittenClaws, I was really trying to offer you a helpful suggestion. FR is a great place, and if you have something you want to hash out I think a lot of us would be willing to offer constructive input and help you.
“Still... 6 months for nearly beating your sister to death over a several month period.” He’ll be back to finish the
job. This isn’t the end of this. If he’s allowed near her
again, he’ll rub her out. All in the name of Alla of course.
I'd say the same thing about voodoo in Haiti. As long as folks follow that cult, they'll never rise above the grinding poverty they've been in since they received their independence from France.
Wonder if these honor beatings, female circumcisions and killings will make it into that new muslim sitcom they are cooking up for primetime TV...
Threatening her with death as he beat her for three hours — six month sentence.
Had had actually murdered her, he’d have received twelve months. /sarc
did this get any coverage in the MSM besides a web report or two?
Nope. The Daily Mail and a few webblogs. That’s it.
And they pretend to be confused why we think they are biased.
A few months....
I guess when its reported that she is dead, we will know when he was released
It’s creepy to see the far reach of these type of crimes. Even an actress from a Harry Potter movie is affected, not just people in the slums in a faraway third world country.
That’s exactly what I thought also. Here she is, well known, I assume with a touch of cash, and yet she is prisoner in her parent’s house to this medieval religion, being forced into marraige.
I’m so glad she’s alive, but I wonder if the MSM could have hushed it the way the did if she had been killed. And six months for attempted murder? So glad the SIL had the sense to hide the knives. And she is still living with him!
