Why a father killed his daughter who was 'too western'
BBC News ^ | February 7, 2011 | Duncan Kennedy

Posted on 02/08/2011 12:21:30 AM PST by UncleHambone

Every year 5,000 so-called honour killings - when a family murders one of its own members - take place around the world. One of the most notorious cases in the West was that of Hina Saleem, who was killed in Italy by her father who claimed she had become too western.

What an awful life to be a woman in a Muslim world.

What is even worse than the religion is the people who believe in this contrived gobbledygook.

Odd, but I have never read that the family member who was killed was a male child. In fact, it is usually a brother - uncle - male cousin - local paper boy raping and maiming the young girls which causes the family shame. I think the men are just wanting to kill something, and the daughter is handy and mom is willing to help.

I see. So in other words, it's Bush's fault.

Firstly, notice how they totally avoid any mention of where the family lived only implying that the family, her father, lived in Italy but never coming right out and saying it. Where they lived was of the utmost importance (to me) because if her father was so concerned as he was about his daughter becoming too westernized he should never have moved out of his desert hovel and emigrated to Italy in the first place. He's the one who allowed her to be exposed to such a decadent, ungodly society.

Secondly, I find it utterly fascinating in a surreal way, that in the Muslim world, a daughter living the way she did, rather innocently enough, brought dishonor to her family, yet murder, murdering your own child, cutting her throat twenty eight times as he did is not a dishonor to himself or the family.

And libs claim there is no dichotomy between our society and theirs.

That is an outstanding observation. Females are always expendable in Islam. Males are preferred for everything: Imams, patriarchs, Jihadists, suicide bombers, rapists, pediphiles, and sex toys.

The Religion of Peace is a 1,400 year old perverted death cult ideology that masquerades as a religion.

If somebody thinks his daughter is becoming too westernized, he should go back to his hellhole of origin.

“Muhammad Saleem is now serving 30 years in jail [for killing his daughter].”

He should consider himself lucky; I would have sawed his head off.

Here’s one that reads like a ‘news story’ from Onion but it’s actually true: (copy/pasted from email)

Story: “Exec of Muslim TV station found guilty of beheading wife”

“In the months leading up to his trial, Hassan had explored various versions of a psychiatric defense with different attorneys, who said they would pursue an acquittal by showing the killing was justified.”

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41464521/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/

My reply:

This almost sounds like an Onion story:

“The Hassans started the Bridges TV network in 2004, saying they wanted to counter negative stereotypes ( like “they all behead people!”) and media portrayals of Muslims in a post-9/11 world ...”

Sigh.... It’s amazing what has come down and how the Left merely accepts these things either with open arms or without comment. The school in Mich. ? that allowed ‘whatever the age for a Muslim boy coming of age is named’... to allow them to have the double edged dagger that is part of the ceremony to be carried in school! While on the same news day a kid was suspended from school for having a ‘weapon’ - the plastic body of a pen he used to shoot spitballs!!! OMG! then the assigning of rooms in schools for Muslim worship with prayer rugs and arrows pointing toward Mecca. Yet let one Christmas carol be sung in school and the ACLU is filing suit? We’re in the Mad Hatter’s tea party of Alice’s Wonderland and don’t know it. (...well some don’t). WH0~0? R U ~~~~ And TweedleDumb and TweedleDumber are in charge.

Only a moron will believe Muhammad is a prophet/ Also those with aggressive inclination like convicts. Such as the blacks in prison here that Muslims like to recruit from

Maybe we could convince them that rape and murder are depraved Western practices, and get the men to kill each other and just leave the young girls and boys.

The only cure for muslimism is to treat it like the British did for the Thugee cult. They started killing followers of Thugee until people decided that it wasn’t healthy to be a Thug anymore.

Wait a minute here. The mooslim LOVED his daughter so much he saved her from the pernicious Western culture. This was an act of love. (mooslim credo: I love you. I will kill you and your family. Boom! Slash!) Who are we to judge? One-worldism and multiculturalism are A-OK in Bizarro World.

I think the dagger thing pertained to a Sikh, not a muslim.

It comes down to economics.

A son's value is that he will help defend the clan, and bring in income.

In Islam, a daughter has no economic value except to the extent that she can be sold to an Islamic husband. In Islam, there's a concept called "mahr" (bride-price, often mis-translated as dowry), where the husband pays an amount to the bride (really to her family) which serves as lump-sum alimony if he divorces her.

A "Westernized" daughter who is too "uppity" to bring a good price has no value. Worse yet is a daughter who chooses to marry a Westerner without mahr.

Having such a disrespectful daughter makes the father look bad. If he can be punked by his daughter, then he looks like an easy mark for predators in the Islamic community. The only solution is to kill her, to demonstrate his resolve.

Their perverted ideology gives them permission to mutilate, rape and murder. Their perverted ideology is nothing more than a death cult cleverly disguised as a religion.
