Silverbolt 104 Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) Backwards thinking. its the 21st century, not the 2nd century. i was post that....suck man... damn watta Regred here we had it...native people that were killing their kids(its very common), those kind of people live isolate in the jungle, that's a different case... so we had the discussion here...Punish or not to punsh this kind of people(ie: state in their buisness), veru delicated issue... but i think its inadimissible from people that are already integrated in society and live by its precepts.

eraser_tr 29 Posted July 24, 2009 The family, originally from Kabul, Afghanistan, spent 15 years in Dubai before moving to Montreal two years ago. That explains it all You'd think someone should be able to understand writings from medieval times cannot be used for how to behave in the 21st century. How he called police and reported the car missing as if the daughters took off, so he clearly knew the concept of "honor killings" was a savage act in the civilized world.

Lt. James Cater 62 Posted July 25, 2009 There's been a few "honor killings" in the US in the past decade or so. Usually the guilty parties are serving rather stiff sentences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad-Dog 0 Posted August 1, 2009 It does happen a lot here in Israel (unfortunately)... It is an arab cultural thing that goes back hundreds, possibly even thousands of years...Generally it is not practiced in the larger, more educated metropolitan areas, being much more common in smaller arab villages. It is generally prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law... As it should be!! In my opinion, this is the same mentality that leads them to blow up our busses and shoot rockets at us. This primitive mindset (that is passed down in the Arab "education system") is the dominating force in the Muslim world andis one of the primary forces actively impeding any possible progress towards Peace. After all, why stop killing the infidels, their enemies, when their culture says that even murdering their own is acceptable (and in many cases honourable)? On the other hand, our murder rate is among the lowest in the civilized world. Violent crime is rare enough that every incident is front page news across all our newspapers... When I lived in Atlanta, for comparison, violence and crime are common enough that most incidents went unreported, and, often, uninvestigated... I'll take my Israel any day :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
