I heard some more about the story about the father killing his daughter for refusing to wear the hijab.

The brother is also in trouble for assisting in some way.

This story makes me want to throw up.

It exemplifies all that is wrong with the world.

That a human being's exterior tells about their interior. (basically)

Comments?

I have to wonder why so much focus is being put on the religious aspect of this murder (I tend to think it is just the media trying to put a spin on it).

A man murdered his wife, in Calgary, yesterday I think it was. To me that murder is no less crazy than the one involving this poor girl.

Anyone who would kill another person is a nut. I have given up trying to figure out why people kill other people, i've decided that, since I don't think like they do, there is no way for me to comprehend it, so I don't really try anymore.

Great point Trailmix.. it is true I think.. it's so simple to just blame "religion" and be done with it but no situation is so easy to just slap a quick cause on it.. the human mind is far more complex than that..

And I agree it's hard to make sence of it.. just is hard to see sooo many horrific stories coming out of the news today. I really HOPE that CDN media is not trying to be more "American" in it's approach to reporting the news and trying to sensationalize everything. Is it to much to ask that the media just be unbiased and straightforward in their approach to reporting the news of the day? :blink:

Every time I hear something horrific in the news, I take a deep breath and remember something I read once. The only items that make the news are those that are unusual or odd. If the news only had stories about good things then that would mean that the world was so hoorible that the good would be unusual. It's small comfort, even if it is a palliative cliche. I know mom and yours truly were having a discussion about what happened to that poor girl. Mom thinks maybe she was pregnant so maybe that caused her Dad (I use that termed very loosely) to freak out, I think that maybe Dad was molesting the daughter. I don't know what justifies this nonsense. Not wearing a hijab, what happened to no compulsion in religion? Please don't get me started, I like my blood pressure where it is.

So true IR5.

Canadian television is starting to take a page from American News (well here in Calgary anyway), and it irks me - every time they say BREAKING NEWS it makes me roll my eyes, well - sometimes I just laugh at them.
