So, since tis is Europe the punishment is -what? Surely not something as harsh as panties on their heads.

Probably a few hours of community service followed by free counselling to overcome the distress of being found guilty.

Denmark is one of the few countries in Western Europe with any balls. They've refused to punish the cartoonists who drew caricatures of Muhammad and they've backed the U.S. in Iraq. We may actually see a punishment with teeth on this.

I am very glad to see they are enforcing their laws. Perhaps Eurabia isn't so close. It seems the citizens are fed up.

Jail for Denmark 'honour' killing

Ghazala Khan's secret marriage had angered her family
A court in Denmark has jailed a Pakistani man for life for ordering the murder of his 18-year-old daughter.
Ghazala Khan was shot dead two days after her wedding, because the family opposed her choice of husband.

She died and her husband was wounded last September at a train station in Slagelse, a village west of Copenhagen.

The court also set 16-year jail terms for Mr Abbas' older son, Akhtar Khan, who admitted shooting his sister and two uncles.

The life sentence on the father, Ghulum Abbas, is commuted automatically to 16 years under Danish law.

Five other relatives and friends from the Pakistani community in Denmark who had helped track down the bride and her new husband received sentences of between eight and 14 years.

Two of them, an aunt and another uncle who are still Pakistani nationals, face deportation after their sentences.
