A so-called 'honour killing' involving a Pakistani family leads members of the immigrant community to reflect on the practice
A Pakistani man's alleged shooting of his younger sister in a so-called 'honour killing' over the weekend has led members of the Pakistani community to discuss ways of halting the practice.
The Organisation of Pakistani Students and Academics intends to discuss the practice during an upcoming debate forum, according to the organisation's chairman Qasam Nazir.
'Many (Pakistanis, ed) are very disappointed that this problem has again appeared in contemporary Denmark,' said Nazir.
Many members of the Pakistani community were shocked over the weekend to hear reports that a 29-year-old Pakistani man was apprehended on Saturday, accused of shooting his 19-year-old sister and her Afghan husband on Friday. The sister died shortly after from her gunshot wounds.
'We will try to find imams and other prominent people to get a discussion about this cultural phenomenon, which is not a religious practice in any way,' said Nazir.
How society could prevent killings committed in the name of honour would be the focus of the discussion forum.
'We don't know the actual background for the killing, but if there is talk of an 'honour killing', I would say there is no honour involved,' said Nazir. 'He has lost a sister, and the family must now mourn over two losses, both the daughter and the son are gone. Honour is a strange word to use.'
SICK B@STA@RDS
Thanks, good find. How nice of the Muslim immigrants to "reflect".
Notice the word "Islamic" appears no where in the article.

Disappointed? Disappointed!!??
The next thing you know, they will be "saddened". What they should really be is horrified!!
And if they aren't, the real Danes should be. They need to get rid of these subhuman people, now. This is worse than letting vicious pit bulls run loose around the nursery!
