#1 Oh, yeah. Another fine example of islam's finest.

Brave, MuslimP "men" killing girls to preserve the honor of the men.

#2 anymouse, they may have had sex with the wolf on the way to grandma's house. If so, its death man!

#3 Man, if they were in America, they probably would've gotten grounded. We're the savages with grounding and panties on heads, and all. Come on, it's just their "culture." (Sarcasm)

#4 I doubt this was just plain disobedience. They were almost certainly guilty of something far worse to merit this 'end'. I wonder if they'd been caught smoking?

#5 Is 'honour' killing specifically mentioned in the Koran?

#6 Bulldog,

the secularislam site has more background on the honor killing issue at:

#7 Thanks mhw. Fromw the link I get the impression that the Koran does not specifically advocate honour killings, but that Sharia Law does.

"...While the Koran is full of guidelines on how to control women's sexuality, and Islamic Law; Sharia, rules harsh punishments including lashing and stoning to death for women's voluntary sexual activities, this denial is nothing but an apology for Islamic misogynism..."

#8 Thanks, Bulldog.

Death for women's voluntary sexual activities? What, did those two girls have sex with Grampa?

#9 The excuses they give for this shit just get more and more bizarre. Wonder what it'll be next time, and we know there will be a next time.

#10 Reason #9843 to arm the women of these regions to the hilt. Wonder how far "honor" will get then?

#11 not without an attitude wake up, Barb - we'd just be supplying arms to their oppressors. Need an intervention first, to use the current fad phrase. I call it a reality-slap upside the head
