Muslim dad admits strangling daughter in 'honour killing' after she stole condoms for sex with forbidden boyfriend
Muslim father has admitted strangling his daughter to death after she was caught shoplifting condoms to have sex with her forbidden boyfriend.
Asadullah Khan, 51, and his wife Shazia, 41, originally from Pakistan are both on trial for the murder of 19-year-old Lareeb Khan.
Khan told a court in Darmstadt, Germany, how he believed his daughter, a dental technician, had brought "dishonour" on his family by being in a relationship with a man he did not approve of.
He and his wife had an arranged marriage and Khan wanted the same for Lareeb, he told the court.
Khan admitted killing Lareeb in the early hours of January 28 while his wife watched, according to German newspaper bild.

Religion.

Crucifixions in Saudi Arabia, "honor killings" a dime a dozen. That particular sickness is called traditional Islam.

Yes, Christians do this kind of thing all the time.
Carry on.

(33,688 posts)In almost every case genuine mental illness combines with religulous idiocy to produce those tragic results. What this reflects is a significant, though not universal cultural norm. There is no comparable cultural norm in any non-muslim society or culture.
Not long ago there was a story posted here about a "father" and I use that term loosely, who let his adult daughter drown rather than be rescued by male lifeguards, as their touch would "dishonor" her and her family (meaning himself).
That guy wasn't a xtian.
Just yesterday a DUer posted a story about non-muslim Indian women were attacked by muslims for being "incorrectly dressed" i.e., not covered head to foot.
Need I repeat the story of the Saudi school where more than a dozen young women and girls died? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Mecca_girls%27_school_fire
And this (same source):
There was another similar incident in 2014; a female student at a Saudi university died after being denied access to advanced medical assistance because the paramedics were male. Senior members of the faculty prevented the paramedics from entering primarily because the student was not fully covered and they did not want to get into trouble for having men in close proximity to her. This caused many Saudis to vent their anger and question the University's policies.
This is sick, destructive, barbaric, medieval insanity and there's no way to put lipstick on that pig.
Sam Harris is right.

(33,688 posts)Germany is a sane, modern, secular, democratic country that respects the legal rights of women and LGBT people. The people they are taking in are steeped in a culture that is about as completely alien to German societal values as anything can possibly be. It is NOT going to be pretty.

So far liberals in Germany and elsewhere have successfully resisted the stereotyping of Muslims that motivates the far-right there to burn refugee centers and resist the government's generous refugee policy.
