Rodeo = barbaric

Bullfighting = barbaric

Extreme fighting = barbaric

Dog fighting = barbaric

Reading derogatory and insipidly racist posts on VJ from people with claims of cultural and moral superiority = PRICELESS

so (honor) killing someone is not barbaric?

It most certainly is devilette, so let's add it to the list, shall we?

That does not change the fact however..... Reading derogatory and insipidly racist posts on VJ from people with claims of cultural and moral superiority is PRICELESS

Anyhow, I'm not sure your immigration form, as posed, would help. If a person has committed an honor killing, they're inadmissible, but if they haven't (honestly) and later do, that doesn't mean they lied on the earlier form. Not grounds for deportation.

How about a questionnaire like the one Gupt posted earlier?

Select option #1 and you're inadmissible (#1 being "the family should kill her to wipe out the disgrace")

Thought police? Perhaps, but it's no worse than asking "have you ever been a member

of the Communist party" which makes you inadmissible today.

That sounds reasonable.

Being a member of the Party, yes, but the question doesn't ask whether you like them or not. And even so, I don't think it would get you the grounds you'd need; someone could say 'No, I didn't believe in honor killing, but I changed my mind after I saw the depravity in blah blah blah' So it wouldn't be hard to lie and then claim later, if need be, that one's beliefs had changed.

I was not talking about you sister, but about the stupidity of transforming a post about the death of a child into a ideological match about religion and culture.

And, like my motto says: don't like me, by all means ignore me.

He killed her over a religious garment - why is that not allowed to be discussed?

I found this debate a good one, until the last few posts, that is.

Further details:

TORONTO (Reuters) - A Canadian teenager who was said to have clashed with her father about whether she should wear a traditional Muslim head scarf died of injuries late on Monday, and her father told police he had killed her.

Aqsa Parvez, 16, was found without a pulse in her home in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga earlier on Monday. She was resuscitated by paramedics, treated at two hospitals, and later succumbed to her injuries, police said on Tuesday.

Her father, 57-year-old Muhammad Parvez, has been charged with murder and was remanded back into custody after his first court appearance early on Tuesday.

"There was a 911 call placed by a man who indicated that he had just killed his daughter," Jodi Dawson, a constable with Peel Regional Police, told Reuters. "Everything else is evidentiary in nature and the investigation is in its preliminary stages at this point."

The victim's brother, Waqas Parvez, 26, was arrested and charged with obstructing police.

The story was on the front pages of Canadian newspapers on Tuesday. The newspapers quoted friends and schoolmates of the victim as saying she argued with her father over wearing a hijab, the traditional head scarf worn by Muslim females.

Photos of the teen retrieved from a social networking Web site show her in Western dress with her long dark hair loose.

"She was always scared of her dad, she was always scared of her brother," the Toronto Star quoted a classmate as saying.

Others were quoted as saying the girl wore traditional Muslim dress when leaving the house in the morning, but would change into other clothes in school washrooms.

Dawson said investigators will likely speak to the victim's schoolmates. The father will return for a bail hearing on Wednesday.

this man is just stupid. my sister in law didnt covor her hair until she was 28 and no one ever killed her over it.

[HLM 1]

he cant force his daughter in wearing the hijab ... he has no right attacking her like that!!! so religion is not to blame ( as usual ppls only easy way out) he has a brain he had a choice ...he is the only one to blame!! but either way.. the grief of her death is a good enuff punishment for the rest of his life i actually sympathize ... somehow!

The problem is these medieval thugs are *here* - in Canada, in the UK, in the US.

Some arsehole somewhere approved their asylum petition and let them in,

that's the problem.
