Father kills 16 year old Canadian girl

[mawilson 2,133]

We shouldn't be so quick to judge the good man. He just overreacted, don't you see?

Killing the girl was wrong according to the Q'uran, but she brought shame on her family

in the eyes of Allah and should have been sentenced to 90 lashes instead.

Well, it involved pigs, so I'd say it wasn't Judaism or Islam.

Really it's quite different. There is OBVIOUSLY a religious motivation to this girl's murder.

Religion has brought great things to the world, indeed.

Yeah.

The only person responsible for her death is her father.

and his reason? A RELIGIOUS one.

...and I could kill somebody and blame it on them wearing a Dodger's baseball cap...doesn't make the Dodger's responsible.

I don't know, wasn't he targeting women he considered sinners?

Steven, re-read what you wrote. And then, re-read why he killed her.

DUH.

I agree....

I don't know that he was targeting "sinners" as much as he was miscreants, a very subtle difference. This is just my best guess. Also, a lot of serial killers target that same archetype because they are easier targets. People tend to turn a blind eye when a bum is killed.

I believe culture also has a hand in this.

That said, islam is not responsible. Like christianity was not the cause of the Crusades. It's when you get an overzealous moron interpreting a religion that it becomes dangerous.

If there were no religion, then wouldn't we find something else to blame fanatic lunacy on?

Why is it necessary to ridicule someone for having an opinion on here? Just curious. There's so much of that on VJ.

"I know I was brought into this world to be hear today to change this world of there evil ways. They even want to dis-re-guard the ten command-ments from the time that Moses in his day brought in power which still is in existence today," wrote Pickton, who is facing another 20 counts of murder which are to be dealt with at a second trial.

The letter was written Feb. 26, 2006, at the beginning of Pickton's voir dire, to California resident Thomas Loudamy who has a hobby of corresponding with prisoners and collecting their return letters.

The second letter, written Aug. 22, 2006, is also replete with biblical references and Pickton provided his own interpretation of Ephesians 5:5.

"You can be sure that no immoral, impure or greedy person will in-herit the kingdom of God .... Don't be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the terrible anger of God comes upon all those who disobey him," Pickton wrote.

The Sun looked up Ephesians 5:5 in The Jerusalem Bible and found a chilling interpretation, given the fact Pickton has been convicted of killing sex-trade workers: "For you can be quite certain that nobody who actually indulges in fornication or impurity or promiscuity -- which is worshiping a false god -- can inherit anything of the kingdom of God."

You feel we are ridiculing the man who killed his son for having an opinion? Or Steven for not having read the article carefully?

C'mon, obviously this guy killed his daughter because of a culturally accepted interpretation of a religion. Can't argue with that.

DUH.

My point is valid. Blaming the Muslim religion for killing his daughter because she refused to wear a traditional hijab is as ludicrous as me blaming the Dodger's baseball team for why I killed a guy wearing a Dodger's baseball cap.
