Muslim "Honor": Father Slits Daughter's Throat | |

Lahore (AsiaNews) – Mgr Lawrence John Saldanha, archbishop of Lahore, has condemned the murder of Hina Saleem, which took place in Italy at the hands of her father with the complicity of her entire family. “There is no justification of such killing for the sake for the family’s honour,” he told AsiaNews. In Pakistan honour killing remains a widespread phenomenon—some 1015 cases were reported last year. Mohammed Saleem cut his daughter’s throat on August 11 because she refused an arranged marriage and instead wanted to integrate into Italian society. Not only did she work in a bar where alcoholic beverages were served but, worse of all, she had entered in a common law relationship with a 30-year-old Italian man. For her family, the scandal was too much to bear. | |

#7 I'm with Tony's comment - great idea. Strip them of the trappings of western society and ship back to the 8th century. |

#6 Disgusting - deport the entire family. Also, confiscate all their money and possessions and send them all to Pakistan with just the clothes on their backs. If anyone complains about that, do the same to them too. |

#3 Until the scandal of murdering your daughter is far worse than the "scandal" of her liberation, we ought to forget integration and drive them out, quickly. |

#1 For her family, the scandal was too much to bear. The far better Japanese appoarch would have been Seppuku for yourselves, not the daughter. |
