Austrian Man Shoots Colleague, Slices off Penis in 'Honor Killing'
VIENNA, Austria — Austrian authorities said Thursday they arrested an elderly Turkish-born man suspected of fatally shooting a younger Turkish associate and slicing off the victim's penis in what investigators called an "honor killing."
...
Officials said witnesses claimed the man allegedly shot the victim, a 58-year-old Turkish-born man, in the street with a shotgun at point-blank range and then cut off his penis with a knife, leaving him to bleed to death.
Two teams of surgeons worked at the scene to save the man but were unable to revive him, authorities said.
Investigators believe the suspect apparently was jealous that the younger man had flirted with his wife, and had sought him out as "a question of honor," said Franz Polzer, head of the region's criminal investigations office.
Honor killings, driven by the view that a family's honor is paramount, are an ancient tradition associated with Kurdish regions of Turkey, Iraq and Iran as well as tribal areas in Pakistan and some Arab societies.

It upsets to say you are RIGHT!
We vote them in office and they swear in on the Koran.
It’s a multi pronged attack - political power, terrorism and using their status as Muslims for special treatment - such as “foot baths” and the school in NYC, taxpayer funded, ONLY for Muslims and most recently headed by a Jew that doesn’t speak their language. They had to get rid of the last principle because she slipped up ... so they put a JEW in there to show acceptance. It’s totally ridiculous.
Man must have dissed him. Its not just the Arabs who do such silly crap.
Also was reported to have happened a fair amount in the RVN conflict of late.
Anecdotes do not data make tho...
You’ve got a good point but atleast it is not justified by Christianity as this is justified by Islamic teachings.
What else you don't hear is that many "honor killings" here are being committed by followers of the ROP.
"A little piece of Poland, a little piece of France..."
“My family’s honor is paramount therefore I must shoot you and slice off your salami!”....Sounds a little “turd world” to me!
I hope the neighboring Swiss are watching this carefully as they consider their upcoming election choices.
Why do these PC people want to be hyphenated to a nation, until a crime is enagaged in?
Than the reader thinks an Austrain did this wicked behavior!
“My point is that we in the United States are really not too far removed from this type of thing.”
That is true, however we don’t claim that it is right under Christianity as Muslims do under Islam. THAT is the difference. Also in some of these Arab countries it is ACCEPTABLE. In the U.S. this is NOT ACCEPTABLE.

It’s an attempt to distract you from the fact that it is a Muslim simply practicing what is okay, honor killings, in most Arab countries. They’re not fooling many people with this.
As with heads on pikes, it's to intimidate any who might follow the dead guy's lead.
I gather it's all part of the Sharia law these vigilante-animals plan to foist on all us infidels. You gays can cut right to the front of the line. No jury trial in evidence nowhere.
Our founders surely set up a better system, didn't they? And yet there are many among us who're just pleased as punch to bash our President as if he's responsible for creating militant Islamics, whilel they would welcome the "diversity" of these animals and/or welcome other forms of socialist elites who wish to foist their forms of control over our lives while taking away the freedoms for which have been dearly fought and died.

That’s a keeper!
Isn't that hilarious? I saw another FReeper post it a couple of years ago, and I've used it ever since.
As far as I am concerned, Islam is the religion of Satan.
It's not even a "religion." It's a cult of death, and you are correct. It is indeed Satanic! If you remember the eyes of the hijackers who attacked the WTC, you can recall that they had that "vacant, nobody home" look to them. They were actually possessed by demons. IMHO!
Yes, don’t forget that 1/3 of countless angels were thrown out of heaven when Satan was booted out. I think these fallen angels who follow Satan are having a field day with folks - especially with Islam.
Great headline. Something like 'Muslim does something barbaric' is probably more useful (though certainly less surprising).
Good point...
Even a broken clock is right twice a day and I am in favor of deporting people who belong to any religiopolitical group that is making war on the West.
That being said.
A little more respect for the wife of another man will not hurt anyone
He did not kill his wife. He killed another Islamo not a women or kid so..
Seems like overall an ok deal..
Broken Clock Defense in play

I don’t believe that FLIRTING with another woman, requires a penis sliced off and shot with a gun. Who knows if he even knew if she was married - it’s irrelevent. TALK to the guy and let him know what COULD happen - that is a more civilized approach but hey, Islam is NOT rational.

“Flirtation” is a preliminary courtship ritual...
Please explain what is the legitimate reason for “flirting” with anyone else’s wife or husband?
