Maybe we just don't "understand" their culture? </liberal pantywaste>

[BCrago66]

That's just plain old fashioned Palistinian family values.

A mothers love from the Religion of Peace. POS Bi+ch! I say lets give them their Crusades that they keep accusing us of.

You have to love it when Muslims do the work to show that the Judeo-Christian culture of the West is superior to their own.

Gimme that old time religion...

[Enterprise]

If they're so damned concerned about their "honor" they should just kill themselves instead of other family members. Then they can brag to God about how wonderful they are.

I simply can't think of anything to say except that this is so sad...that a mother blames a child for being raped and kills her to preserve honor.I just can't understand how this culture was evolved.Here the parent might try to kill the rapist,and be punished for doing so.

[agrace]

Despicable.

[TonyWojo]

raped by her brothers

How was honor restored?

[Enterprise]

Ditto. Why don't they kill her rapist brothers instead?

[netmilsmom]

All I have to say is that this girl is in heaven and God is hugging her. He is telling how wrong her mother was for killing her and her unborn child.

Barbarians.

Don't expect to see Reuters to mention this. They only print what the Pali's say they can.

[MontanaBeth]

What is about this religion that we are suppose to understand? These people scare me.

Rofayda Qaoud - raped by her brothers and impregnated - refused to commit suicide, her mother recalls, even after she bought the unwed teenager a razor with which to slit her wrists.

What a little ingrate.... < /sarcasm>

Oh, were are the liberals who tell us over and over that our culture is not superior to any other culture; they are just 'different'.

Honor murder of one's own child no less. "Islam" is in dire need of change.

[joesnuffy]

Arafat and Powell should give her a medal....for a lifetime Palestinian Achievement award
her family name is restored...a credit to her religion...a role model for Islamic mom's everywhere

[Terriergal]

ABU QASH, West Bank - Rofayda Qaoud - raped by her brothers and impregnated - refused to commit suicide, her mother recalls, even after she bought the unwed teenager a razor with which to slit her wrists. So Amira Abu Hanhan Qaoud says she did what she believes any good Palestinian parent would: restored her family's "honor" through murder

She didn't give the boys the razors to cut their own wrists? That would have been far more effective IMO.

Returning to my mantras now...

...ohmmmmm.... Islam is a peaceful and loving religion.... ohmmm.....

[Ditter]

I read this yesterday. Pathetic!

[Terriergal]

Doesn't it strike you as odd/irrational that the *girl* was the child she chose to murder? Go figure! Kill the victim. What justice!
