A Palestinian woman died after her father buried her alive claiming he wanted to preserve the "family honor." The father, in his seventies, turned himself in and admitted to killing his 24-year-old divorced daughter.
After investigating the crime scene, the police discovered that the woman’s father had tied her arms and legs and muzzled her before burying her alive. According to press reports on Monday, the coroner was to examine the body to determine whether the woman was also beaten before her death.
The police also detained four of the victim's brothers to investigate their involvement in the crime.
Similar deaths in Pakistan
In a similar incident, tribesmen in western Pakistan buried three girls and two women alive for alleged honor crimes. The three girls, whose ages range between 16 and 18, hailed from the Balochistan province and had expressed their desire to choose their husbands themselves. The two women had supported the girls’ position. But the request, which goes against the tribe's customs, was considered by the tribesmen to be a violation of the tribe's honor.
Local authorities have not arrested any suspect in the crime.
Pakistani MP Serdar Israr-Allah brought up the incident in parliament and expressed his resentment towards the crime. He demanded that the authorities arrest the culprits who murdered the women.
The religion of peace...
How sublime....
This will be investigated and the father will be punished according to Sha-hairbrained law ... he will be given a fine and then hold a riot and blame Zionists.
Religion of peace, yeah right.
Let’s not be judgmental. This is multiculturalism and moral equivalence as taught by liberalism.
Bury her alive: similar to what the Drive By’s and DemonRats are trying to do to Sarah Palin and family. Same mind set of hatred and fear.
Your tax dollars at work.
Coming soon to your hometown.
Make sure he’s a Muslim first - we’ve seen stories of Palestinian “Christian” fathers doing the same thing. This is a tribal custom more than a religious one - though Islam does seem especially willing to look the other way.
Coming soon to a neighborhood near you if we are not careful.
Can anyone remember the thing Palin said about Islamic Terrorists trying to kill us and some folks are afraid we might hurt their feelings or something like that?
What would obambi do?
What would the Barracuda Pit Bull do to obambi after he did whatever stupid gutless thing he would do?
Hell, they do this 5 times a day in Dearborn, the police just look the other way! Coming to your neighborhood in America soon!
This story is exactly what leftists imagine Christian America to be.
Religious freedom. No story here. Christians will forgive. Muslims will kill.
Killing is the nature of their religion.
The example of Mohamed on forgivness Sahih Muslim, Book 17: 4206
There came to him (the Holy Prophet) a woman from Ghamid and said: Allah's Messenger, I have committed adultery, so purify me. He (the Holy Prophet) turned her away. On the following day she said: Allah's Messenger, Why do you turn me away? Perhaps, you turn me away as you turned away Ma'iz. By Allah, I have become pregnant. He said: Well, if you insist upon it, then go away until you give birth to (the child). When she was delivered she came with the child (wrapped) in a rag and said: Here is the child whom I have given birth to. He said: Go away and suckle him until you wean him. When she had weaned him, she came to him (the Holy Prophet) with the child who was holding a piece of bread in his hand. She said: Allah's Apostle, here is he as I have weaned him and he eats food. He (the Holy Prophet) entrusted the child to one of the Muslims and then pronounced punishment. And she was put in a ditch up to her chest and he commanded people and they stoned her. Khalid b Walid came forward with a stone which he flung at her head and there spurted blood on the face of Khalid and so he abused her. Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) heard his (Khalid's) curse that he had huried upon her. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Khalid, be gentle. By Him in Whose Hand is my life, she has made such a repentance that even if a wrongful tax-collector were to repent, he would have been forgiven. Then giving command regarding her, he prayed over her and she was buried.
The example of Jesus on forgivness (John 8:1-11)
But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began to teach them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court, they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. "Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?" They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court. Straightening up, Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more."
Doesn’t their religion preach an “Eye for an Eye”?
This is not a man.
“This story is exactly what leftists imagine Christian America to be.”
I think American leftists actually admire the way some extremist Muslim men deal with women who offend them. That is why they never condemn this kind of thing. And look at what the leftists are trying to do to Sarah Palin and daughter. They want to bury these two women alive. It’s the same mind set.
The leftists know that Christians in America are compassionate and forgiving. They don’t want that message to get out so they continually try to demonise them.
If you don’t love your family and especially your children, who do you love?
The culture allowing such things is SICK.
