I have known other fathers (non muslims) that 'lost it' when dealing with their daughter's self destructive ways. Although the fathers I speak of did not kill their daughters police and social workers became involved. At the same time I would not rule out the ME Islamic cultural background as having some influence in this matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-16052877803911164272007-12-15T16:48:00.000-05:002007-12-15T16:48:00.000-05:00Let's be frank here.

They are opportunist hypocrites and are NEVER to be trusted. How do you deal with people like that? Well I learned a lesson today, was watching first Star Wars movie and Leia was being question on where the rebel base was she lied knowing that the Dark Side would not keep to their word to spare her home planet. Sometimes the reality is a bit much for decent people to accept, that our enemies are slimy and that we must always keep that in mind.

"The episode of Little Mosque on the Prairie that I missed", he sneers. Sheesh!<BR/><BR/>Somehow this is all the fault of the "left", isn't it? Coren hides his contempt well, but still can't resist saying we need to discuss things "even if it offends", which he of course did very well in his opening paragraphs.<BR/><BR/>Why do we see this constant theme that to the "left", this murder is somehow ok? It is not. It is murder and as such, is inexcusable.<BR/><BR/>We would get a lot further in the issues of the day without the constant bleating by some, of things such as "you don't support the troops", "you support the Taliban", "you support honour killing". But for some, no barrier is too low in their quest for partisan advantage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-30417349628081263512007-12-15T15:19:00.000-05:002007-12-15T15:19:00.000-05:00A few readers have left some comments that verge o...A few readers have left some comments that verge on the point of hate speech.

For anyone to do such a deed and then hide behind the curtain of religion is despicable. Even worse is for anyone to try and explian it away or excuse the deed as "cultural" or "an aberation". <BR/><BR/>This is "allegedly" Islam and how it operates and believes. Re-read Michael Coren's column to get just a few examples from the recent past. I could list hundreds more but it would be wasted. Those who realize what Islam is about don't need any more convincing and those who don't believe cannot have their minds changed, regardless of what proof is brought forward. <BR/><BR/>Chris from WinnipegAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-75701676862342911302007-12-15T10:19:00.000-05:002007-12-15T10:19:00.000-05:00Let's remember to use the word "alleged".Let's remember to use the word "alleged".Joanne (True Blue)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17445664997050698154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-51171944940731445032007-12-15T09:57:00.000-05:002007-12-15T09:57:00.000-05:00there are no questions. the guy is a muslim, he ki...there are no questions. the guy is a muslim, he killed her because she wouldn't behave as chatel, like all women are under islam.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-85758652946775514632007-12-15T09:20:00.000-05:002007-12-15T09:20:00.000-05:00You don't suppose that the truthfulness of the Tah...You don't suppose that the truthfulness of the Tahirs myight be questionable or perhaps the Parvez's?<BR/><BR/>It is not only permissible but required of Muslims to tell falsehoods for the advancement of Islam.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
