Dad was upset about the daughter's boyfriend.

This was a standard, run of the mill honor killing, and no, the Amish and the Methodists don't react that way.

Contrary to your personal Muslim apologetics campaign, honor killings are a Muslim problem and Islam is indeed a religion.

Calling me an apologist is a laughable leap made by a mind unable to properly deal with an opinion that might be contrary to yours. I feel sorry for you that you have to compartmentalize someone’s rational opinion into a “box” that is to be discarded rather than refuted without some form of insult.

As for the “honor killings”, that is theory right now, not fact. It seems you believe the media when it tells you what you want to hear and likely rail against it when it doesn’t. The guy was bankrupt and separated from his family. That’s always been enough for murder-suicide to occur with natural born citizens, why not here? Did you express the same concern when Mark Meeks, Ervin Lupoe, Steven Suepple, William Parente and Bruce Pardo (who dressed as Santa Claus) gunned down their family? Jealousy and disapproval of others behaviors occurred in those cases as well. It was just that this guy was Muslim so you pounced because it’s easy to blame it on that and not the financial problems, the separation, etc.

The problem is, that if every time something happens with a muslim involved, our side rails against Islam from the outset, our opinion becomes less well regarded. This was a domestic issue not unlike so many other sad ones of the recent past.
