MULTAN: A man shot and killed his two sisters on Thursday in eastern Pakistan because he suspected they were having love affairs an affront to familys name, police said.
The suspect, Muhammad Ashraf, 35, was arrested shortly after he opened fire on the women in Vehari, about 100 kilometres southeast of Multan, said Abdul Sattar, a police official.
Sattar identified the women only by their first names: Kaneez, 27, and Naveed, 25. Naveed had filed a court case seeking a divorce, and her sister was going to the court in connection with the case when the attack occurred, the police official said. We have arrested this man who says that he killed his sisters to protect familys honor, Ashraf said.
Killing of women for honour is common in Pakistan, where men consider it an affront to the family when their female relatives have affairs or even choose a husband without the familys approval.
The latest killings came weeks after Pakistans top human rights group in its annual report said that crimes against women had not dropped in this Islamic nation, although the government had taken some steps to address the problem. The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan said that at least 1,242 cases of violence against women were reported in the first eight months of 2005. ap
Animals!
"They're just like us! Everyone's equal, just like us. They want peace, just like us. Their religion is just like ours."
Of course, these two murders are all Bush's fault. Why, if Bush had been honest with us about the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, this koranimal wouldn't have killed his sisters.
It isn't the Religion of Peace. It's the Religion of Peaced-off Savages.
I like her better in the larger picture ;)

We are fighting a war for our very survival against the likes of fools that do evil acts beyond comprehension....and we spent a week worrying about the VP's shooting accident...and months on the humiliating a bunch of animal prisoners in Iraq...together with making sure that the koran is not desecrated for the animals that we are feeding in Cuba...what the hell is going through the mush heads the MSM and many Americans....I know...nothing!!
Who would you rather have in your family, someone who has had sex outside of marriage or a murderer?
These are truly sick people, these muzzies!
Well...I would like to have my sisters.
Technically, it's sororicide.
This is the same religion/culture that the Arabs from UAE come from and Bush wants them to manage 21 US ports?????
With a devoted brother like him, these two young women had nothing to fear. They knew their brother would protect the family name.
Affairs = Bad
Murder = Good
How does that equate?
