It says much about the Religion of Peace that stories like this don’t even shock us anymore.

How absolutely cruel to their daughters friends, and their daughters memory.

Awww, someone didn’t want their daughter’s funeral to be a public spectacle, even though her friends didn’t agree with the way she was raised. Hate those privacy rights believing relatives, there should have been some sort of public mourning allowed!!!!!

It’s a sad, sad thing that this happened, but, the violence and the reasons behind the violence aren’t exclusive to Islam, or to religion at all. A childhood friend of mine was shot by his dad for having the wrong girlfriend, even after his father protested violently in the past.

Sometimes parents are overbearing, sometimes they are wrong, sometimes they are outright evil. In the end though, the level of violence and public discourse of it all does not make it the responsibility of the surviving family to meet the wishes of everyone else, nor is it a religion’s responsibility for the illegal actions of a violent father.

In Islam’s case, there are many “illegal actions of a violent father”. CAIR can try to cover it up all it wants, but its true nature keeps peeking out from under the covers.

Nor do I. If one of my children were killed (God forbid) in a highly publicized event (I don’t know... a drunk driving mayor’s son following an argument with his father on Christmas day) I would not want the funeral to be a public spectacle. I especially wouldn’t want a bunch of teenagers there to make it into a huge vigil event. Family and close friends of my approval would be invited, end of story. I don’t care if it hurt other teens feelings.

Why be shocked? If they cared so little that they would kill her then why would they care about her friends? People like this are animals and their behavior is largely ignored. The goal is to bring sharia law to the west. That means western women should get used to this sort of treatment.

If you think you are friends with a muslim and you’re not a muslim, you’re wrong about the friendship.

It has come to lessons like this, because of what Islam is.

I got it, I completely understand, and I’ve read the facts. Sexual mutilations, beatings, etc... All of it sick, and the religion of peace should be brought to task for exactly what it believes and whether or not it condones such actions.

However, that doesn’t change the fact that it is NOBODY’S business how the rest of the family wants to conduct their mourning and their childs funeral.

The parents are total ‘slamonazi fundies - they named her after the mosque built on top of the ancient Jewish temple in Jerusalem. Aqsa.

Don't be ridiculous.

Funerals are for families, and friends. It was a mean thing to do.

Were you not allowed to attend your friends funeral, or know where he was buried?

I didn't think so.

You are right.

I shouldn’t be shocked.

Try as I might, I can't find any recent stories where Christian or Jewish fathers strangled their daughters for refusing to wear a head scarf. Perhaps you could point out some examples.

Fine, but why have everyone go to the trouble of showing up at a different place, and later time.

Couldn't they have announced that the plans had changed, and the girl had already been buried?

When was the last time you heard about a Mormon strangling his daughter because she didn't want to wear Mormon underwear?
