Honor killing? Because she brought shame to the family?
HE'S the one who brought shame to the family.
How do you do that to your own daughter? If he felt culture-bound to do that, what the hell kind of culture is that?
I wonder if Hira's friends & classmates now look at their own fathers differently
In the Old Testament, Abraham is praised for following God’s command to kill his son, Isaac. Ultimately he was stopped by an angel, but not before he had the child bound on an altar as a burnt sacrifice. Judeo-Christians aren’t all that different to Muslims.
A very minor point in this tragic story, but I found it ironic that, because she wasn't afraid to speak up, others thought she could someday be a politician; there's very little sign of that kind of fearlessness in our politics today.
The vast majority of "honor killings " are done either in muslim majority countries or by immigrants originating from such nations.
Given certain hadiths of Mohd,their prophet,it is not difficult to understand from where they get such twisted take on "honor"
