Tehran, 18 Feb. (AKI) - A man known as Sharif has reportedly stoned his fourteen-year-old daughter to death in southeastern Iran because for allegedly having a relationship with a man.

Sharif's wife reported him to police after he and a friend killed the girl in Zahedan, capital of Baluchistan province.

Sharif showed no sign of remorse, telling police who interrogated him: "I suspected that my daughter had a relationship with a man and I had to stone her to death as she had besmirched my honour."

"I had no other choice," he said, telling police how he had carried out the stoning.

Two sisters, Azar and Zohreh Kabiri, 27 and 28 years-old respectively were earlier this month sentenced to death by stoning for allegedly committing adultery.

The women each have one child. They are from the suburb of Shahriar, near Karaj, north of the capital, Tehran.

The Kabiri sisters have already received 99 lashes each.

"Sharif showed no sign of remorse, telling police who interrogated him:

"I suspected that my daughter had a relationship with a man and I had to stone her to death as she had besmirched my honour."

Suspicion was all he had and yet he murdered his child. Too bad he was too stupid to see that he was never in possession of the honor of which he makes so much.

He “suspected”. She’s dead.

Dontcha know that only real men take on women and little girls? Which probably explains so much in some cultures....

[metmom]

Or cell phones...

I don’t know. What percentage?

Really? You don't know. This inability to acknowledge the obvious might explain why you're having issues understanding Islam.

FYI: 100%. No polling or studies required.

“I had to stone her to death as she had besmirched my honour.”

What happened to loving your children, no matter what?

Islam doesn’t deserve to live.

Well, ‘he certainly knows how to use Islam to silence his sexual victim’ ... and that is what I think of when I hear of a father stoning his daughter or offering her up to be murdered by his henchghoul Islamic fellows. This religion is for animals, demonspawn filled with satanic juices.

A man known as Sharif...

That narrows it down to almost every guy in Iran.

[DogBarkTree]

Another proud muslim woman gets put in her place.

"I had to stone her to death as she had besmirched my honour." "I had no other choice..."

Pro-choicers strike again.

[tbw2]

Maybe he couldn’t catch the guy, or didn’t care to. The man can defend himself; a 14 year old girl can’t.

bttt

[steelyourfaith]

Monstrous act condoned by a barbaric culture.

[BfloGuy]

What right have we to criticise other cultures? Besides, this doesn't happen in every Muslim family -- just, oh I don't know, a few thousand.

P.S. First poster to ask if this is satire should be banned.

[reagan_fanatic]

Satan must be marveling at just how easy it is to reel these primitive barbarians in.

[xtinct]

“These freaks need to be strung up by their bits.”

That too...

[ronnie raygun]

Surprised? they treat thier dogs better! Yet Pelosi admires them!

No, a man who would murder in a most inhumane manner his own child for some illusionary slight to his vaulted Honor is the filthy pig without Honor. Any cult that would support such barbaric family relationships is not and will never be an acceptable or respectable religion.
It is because of this behavior that Islam must be eliminated. It is simply not acceptable in today’s world to treat children, (and women for that matter) as property.

YOu have my vote, as long as I can hold you too your campaign promises
