#2 He also yelled that had the trial taken place in Kabul, Afghanistan, he would have already been released long ago.

Ahmad, you're not in Afghanistan anymore.

#3 I keep saying the way to stop this cold is to turn it around, and publicly shame families that engage in it.

#4 Sometimes, things have to get worse before they get better. What incidents like this do is cause Muslim women who want to assimilate and don't want to be killed by their families to completely dissociate themselves from both their kin and the Muslim community. I don't see any downside to the complete assimilation of foreign women into the German community.

#5 as family members screamed, assaulted journalists and attempted suicide.

Effing drama queens...

Ahmad, you're not in Afghanistan anymore.

ZF, you know, I think you've isolated the problem. I think ahmad should have stayed in afghanistan, and I think this should apply to 95% of the muslims living in Europe (they, or their predecessors).

Plastering pictures of these people all over Germany might do it.

#8 And in more European Muslim male "honor" news...

A Pakistani man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison by a French court for setting fire to an ex-girlfriend who had refused to marry him. Amer Mushtaq Butt doused the woman with petrol and set her alight as she was leaving her home in a Paris suburb. Chahrazad Belayni, a 21-year-old Moroccan-born woman, suffered third-degree burns to 60% of her body. The case has highlighted violence against women in poor urban communities with large Muslim populations.

Ms Belayni broke down in tears after the sentence was announced in court late on Thursday. "It sets a good example. For women who are victims of violence, I think 20 years is a good step," she said.

Prosecutor Camille Palluel said Butt had meticulously planned his attack "to end the life" of his former girlfriend in an attempt "to restore his honour".

Butt set fire to Ms Belayni in the street in the impoverished Paris suburb of Neuilly-sur-Marne in 2005 after she ended their relationship. She told the court how she threw herself to the ground and tried to extinguish the flames. She fell into a coma after the attack and has since undergone several operations.

Butt fled France for Pakistan after the attack but later returned to hand himself in. He pleaded guilty at his three-day trial, claiming it was a crime of passion.

So long, Mr. Buttfuck...

#9 I think the Chinese approach would have been better. Line up the guy in front of a firing squad, shoot him, haul the family in front of a magistrate where they have to pay for the cost of the bullet and other costs associated with the firing squad, and for raising a child who turned out to be such a bloody waste as to need a .308 lobotomy.

#10 I think the Chinese approach would have been better.

This is probably the reason the Chinese Muslim community abuts Pakistan, but you don't hear of honor killings in China. The death penalty and the persecution of the remaining family members can be a serious deterrent.

#11 I wonder, do they call themselves "Afro Germans" over there?

#12 FYI there's some footage of this on youtube.
Search for "Morsal", "Obeidi", "Ehrenmord" (= honor killing). The voice over is in German but
its self-explanatory.

As for Redneck Jim's question, the murderer is referred to as "Deutsch-Afghane", which is preposterous, as he murdered his sister precisely because she wanted to assimilate.

This hostility and disrespect shown by Afghans of all people is a fruit of western restraint and kindness after 911.

The "War in Afghanistan" should have been a "War on Afghanistan", and liberation should have consisted of imposing western civilization on the Afghans, at gunpoint, without compromises, not of empty rituals involving fingers dyed purple.

Sorry for that rant, but that story really has me livid :(.
