Take the brother and father out and execute them on national TV. And then say that this is exactly what every muslim male who abuses women can expect!! After they riot take out Mecca! I’d call a justifiable honor killing!

I’ve often wondered why the NY mob didn’t start killing some of these radicals after 9/11. They’re messing with their livelihood too.

That’s what happened in India:

Early in British Imperial Occupation, a British officer was patrolling northern India and they came across an Indian burial. They were just about to throw the dead man’s wife into the husband’s burial pyre to be burned to death when the British officer shouted for the whole thing to be stopped.

“But sir”, a local protested, “It’s our culture to burn the wife with the husband when he dies!”

The officer raised his rifle and stated, “It’s our culture to shoot anyone who does that!”

The practice quickly ended.

You’ll have to not only take them out but the whole world-wide Islamic faith to keep that from happening.

Well, okay, if that's what it takes I don't have a problem with that.

We have here abuse even murder of women, complete religious intolerance, and a faith that calls for a theocracy.

And liberals can’t do enough to urge tolerance and to make special exceptions for this.

All too soon, if our Muslim-in-Chief can make it happen.
