A Gaza man is being held on suspicion he bludgeoned his daughter with an iron chain, cracking her skull in a particularly brutal family "honor killing," two human rights groups said Wednesday, citing police and forensics reports.

The groups' reports said that the assault was triggered by Jawdat Najjar's discovery that his daughter Fadia - a 27-year-old divorced mother of five - owned a cell phone. He suspected she used it to speak to a man outside the family, according to the groups' reports.

Not too happy about my kids' phones either.

Always wondered how this nomadic tribe of dynamite enthusiasts kept their lines going.

Now we know - if your relatives aren't good enough to marry then you will be stoned!

27 is a mite old to be treated like one of your kids.

[the invisib1e hand]

wow. just imagine what he’d have done if she’d stolen it.

You can just about smell the 6th century oozing from these ignorant primates.

[Dumpster Baby]

Savages.

And the world imagines it can negotiate a peace in Palestine with these ignorant knuckle dragging fools. They don’t value the lives of their own children, much less the children of Jews.

“Honor” kiliings, abortions — what the heck’s the difference?

Any female living with those savage primates needs a weapon to defend herself;stick a knife in the worthless guts of father/uncle/brother if he tries to hurt you.

A daily avalanche of evil from the Mohammadan scum. RIP.

In this case, apparently no difference at all. Since she clearly was not “properly” socialized, she wasn’t yet human. /s

Aren't religious zealots great folks. My way or no way and the end justifies the means. And, And, we are going to make my way the law of the land.....

And set yourself up for a stoning. You really haven't yet understood the totality of the oppression they suffer.

"Always wondered how this nomadic tribe of dynamite enthusiasts kept their lines going."

Yeah, I always wondered why they bothered having so many kids. All they do is kill them after they're born. STUPID culture!!

In Muslim culture, a woman msut reside with family if she is unmarried through widowhood, divorce, etc. No independent living.

[relictele]

And yet they voluntarily (?) write bitchy letters to newspapers every time a head scarf causes controversy or confusion.

“We wear the hijab because it represents freedom etc. etc.”

Freedom my arse.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Because if they don't put the hijab on their head, they won't have a head?

[BykrBayb]

You seem to have stumbled onto the wrong thread. This is about actual religious zealots, not the Christians you so despise. Be gone.

[Niuhuru]

Stockholm Syndrome. They think that by supporting their abusers they’ll get treated better.

Yep. Here's what I don't get about Islam: What's in it for women? They are treated so badly, that one would think they'd hate it. I understand that many might not be educated about any plausible alternative, but you'd think they'd resent their treatment. But, there are women suicide bombers driven by the threat of dishonor; ululating Palestinians; burqa wearing immigrants at our motor vehicle registries. I just don't get it.
