The Religion of Peace?

Brit ordered his daughter strangled for falling in love with wrong man
LONDON - A father who ordered his daughter brutally slain for falling in love with the wrong man in a so-called “honor killing” was found guilty of murder on Monday. Banaz Mahmod, 20, was strangled with a boot lace, stuffed into a suitcase and buried in a back garden. Her death is the latest in an increasing trend of such killings in Britain, home to some 1.8 million Muslims. More than 100 homicides are under investigation as potential “honor killings.”

I am glad to see the AP pick this story up. Let’s see if it has any legs.

Where are the human rights defenders? Where are the Feminists? When will the world stop pandering to a religion where murder is such an integral part of its practice? How can a father kill his own daughter because she shamed him? I guess according to Sharia law there is no shame in murdering your own daughter. We cannot ignore the threat that this cultural attitude poses to the world.
