Also, the Globe and Mail isn’t allowing comments on this article. I wonder why?
The most recent article on Fox’s website has a quote from an Islamic official who wants to be sure people don’t think of this as an Islamic issue. He says it’s a teenage issue, as if fathers across the cultural spectrum murder their rebellious teens.
You should google to see what’s going on with Mark Steyn in Canada right now. That might answer your question.
Well, technically it's not. It's a Middle Eastern tribal culture issue, and there are many tribes around the world which believe children are the property of their parents.
I googled Mark Steyn and Canada and didn’t see it. What’s going on?

Well, then, if this isn’t how Muslims behave, then if this guy is guilty that must mean that he’s not a Muslim. Thus, he can be provided with a prison diet of bacon and beer.
The CIC, which describes itself as “Canada’s largest national non-profit and wholly independent Islamic organization,” has launched human rights complaints against Maclean’s in response to the article “The Future Belongs to Islam,” an excerpt from Mark Steyn’s book “America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It.” The article appeared in the magazine’s Oct. 23, 2006 issue.
Similar case in St. Louis some years ago - fortunately, the FBI had the house bugged for terrorist suspicions and ended up with a recording of the father stabbing his daughter to death while she screamed for her mother to help her.
He ended up in prison, can’t remember if the Mom did or not.

Hey Canada. Free speech. Steyn is the only Canadian writer that I know the name of.

Kinda sounds like her friends were idiots. When are people going to realize that Islam is a dangerous ideology that causes it’s adherents to murder people? How many innocent victims must Muslims kill before they take notice?
Two things stand out here. "Religious extremism"? You mean a Presbyterian or a Catholic might murder his daughter for not wearing a hijab or properly bowing down to her father? No, the word is "Islam," but that cannot be mentioned, even when it is obvious.
The second is "debate." Debate? What, between those who think it's OK for a Muslim to murder and disobedient daughter, because it's a cultural thing we should respect, and those who think it's wrong?
Good grief. What's to debate? This is wrong. He should be punished as a murderer of a particularly evil kind. And it's not religious extremism, it's Islam that is clearly at the root of this all-too-typical killing.
If a Christian took a strap to his daughter for running wild, that would be universally deplored. But if a Muslim murders his own child, half the country thinks maybe that's OK.
Technically you are right but it is still inextrictably tied to Islam. The sad part is there is apparently no central authority in Islam who can state the proper form of worship or cultural practices for Muslims. Nor do Muslims have a process of ex-communication to communicate to others that certain things aren’t accepted by the faith. I don’t blame Islam directly but I do consider it complicit.
