This is what you expect from liberals not human beings.

To USAGIRL actually the bible would just allow them to get married and not put to death.

Exodus 22:16-17
16 “If a man entices a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall surely pay the bride-price for her to be his wife. 17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the bride-price of virgins.

This could have all been avoided if only they could have instituted abstinence only sex education as promulgated by the Bush Administration.

But, what can you expect from a bunch of honor bound, conservative, religious nuts? McCain should add “honor killing” to the GOP platform as a way to curb the teenage pregnancy numbers in this country.

India is a horribly sick country. This gives you a very, very small taste of what goes on there. Hindus are just as sick and evil as muslims are.

To “If”,

Liberal? What is this now? The word “liberal” has taken on an even more absurd meaning than Rush Limbaugh can come up with?

Broadly speaking, liberalism emphasizes individual rights and equality of results. Different forms of liberalism may propose very different policies, but they are generally united by their support for a number of principles, including extensive freedom of thought and speech, the rule of law, the free exchange of ideas, a market or mixed economy, and a transparent system of government.

These murders have nothing at all to do with the word Liberal and you, “If”, are ignorant, which in your case is a compliment because I’m assuming you’re not crazy or stupid (the only other explanation for your absurd statement).

Truly barbaric! Depravity… But isn’t that the way the PATRIARCHY has always functioned, no matter what state or country? A *MAN’s* “honor” has traditionally trumped a woman’s or child’s life all over the world; things have not advanced much since the Stone Age, it seems.

These people practicing this so-called “Honor killing” are less than animals–Animals would NOT indulge in such insanity!

Selfish and sick!

Someone should strangle Alan Smith..see how he likes it. There is a case pending in Texas where a Muslim murdered his two beautiful daughters some months ago because they were wearing Western closes and enjoying the American lifestyle.he hasn’t been caught and they think that other Muslims are protecting him there in Texas.Muslims ,Hindus…they are both messed up.One kills in the name of God because Mohammed killed (who was also a pedophile with a 6 year-old wife who he raped at 9 years-old) and the other is worried about Honor and worship cows??? Where are all the Womens groups on how women are treated in the Islamic world and Hindu world? Busy having lesbian sex or making money aborting babies…that’s where.

LindaB   May 15th, 2008 - 8:18 pm

I say cut off ALL hindu and muslim men’s dicks.They are nothing but spineless pigs.

rr   May 15th, 2008 - 8:20 pm

Ah, multiculturalism…

USAGIRL   May 15th, 2008 - 8:21 pm

I am shocked that murdering 3 human beings is still permitted in India while the whole villae,friends,family watch……….. this reminds me of of the biblical days when womn were stoned to death for looking up……..we should not support these people in any way, aid,etc, till these unspeakable sins are stopped.

JimBo   May 15th, 2008 - 8:22 pm

How terribly sad. Of course this mother didn’t say anything. Perhaps she would be next.

So what happens to this girl’s soul according to their sick religiion?

Joe   May 15th, 2008 - 9:02 pm

I read an article the other day about how India (in response to the rising food costs) said “America needs to go on a diet.”

Hey I’ll put down the Big Mac when you stop killing your daughters over honor!

This from the largest ‘democracy’ in the world.

cluelessinky   May 16th, 2008 - 12:13 am

Well the father and mother have their honor, but they don’t have their daughter or their grandchild What culture sanctions this kind of nonsense?!

Jack Smythe   May 16th, 2008 - 12:35 am

This worthless father should also be strangled and “Honor Killed”. This pathetic excuse of a human should be forced to kick the oxygen habit.

Harvey   May 16th, 2008 - 12:42 am

This is culturally accepted barbarism. Killing people who have done nothing other than express their adult, mutually accepted love for each other may be culturally unacceptable but killing them for this is absolutely barbaric because it eliminates their chance to accept the cultural norms as they mature (a punishment that is irrevocable and, so, can’t be reversed if found to be wrongly applied or if the victims would have eventually accepted the cultural norm), is worse than the perceived transgression, doesn’t question the validity and reasons for the violated cultural rule in a manner that takes into consideration normal human nontransgressional feelings (the ones the victims had for each other), and more, lots more.

PolitiP   May 16th, 2008 - 12:53 am

When religion trumps reason, this is the result. It’s just that simple.

http://www.politiporn.com

Who are we to judge? It wasn’t too long ago in this country that it was perfectly “legal” to hang a black man for whistling at a white woman.

I figure if the “he’s a muslim” charge can’t stick, you Repugnanticans will start saying that Obama is a hindu.

Stupid is as stupid vote, you guys voted for stupid in ‘04 and look what it got us!

T Nick   May 16th, 2008 - 1:23 am

PolitiP:

…and when we have the rejection of reasonable faith based mores, we have Stalin, Pol Pot, Kim Jung Il (?), Lenin, Hitler who killed MILLIONS all in the name of reason and , in some cases, accepted scientific study i.e. Dr. Mengele.

The weapons created by science, advanced engineering and physics have resulted in hundreds of millions of deaths.

However, not all creations of based reason are bad. Lives are saved as well. Just as not all those who have a saving faith are bad. Many of the great thinkers of the ages were men and women of faith.

howdy   May 16th, 2008 - 1:24 am

This kind of “honor” killing should not be allowed anywhere in the world, period! It’s murder.

Alan Smith   May 16th, 2008 - 2:04 am

A fine father with respect for tradition and honor! He should be hailed rather than vilified.

Suzanne   May 16th, 2008 - 2:30 am

You all forget one thing: if someone’s I.Q. is sub-normal you cannot change what their culture has taught them. They can’t understand anything different; only something that has been repeated over and over. That’s why it’s so hopeless. The fact that people from the same village are considered to be commiting incest if they marry is just a small example. It may have been valid for some reason hundreds of years ago but they can’t reason enough to understand that the rationale has changed. Terrible to be trapped in such abysmal ignorance.

LindaB   May 16th, 2008 - 4:14 am

muslim and hindu men need to be nuetered!! Islam and hinuism ARE NOT RELIGIONS..THEY ARE MURDEROUS CULTS!!!!!!

LindaB   May 16th, 2008 - 4:21 am

I say…stop buying from the ice houses they own…spit on them for being the thugs they are.Drive all hindus and muslims from America….they have no right to be in OUR country. I DO and will CONTINUE to spew hate to every one of the pigs in MY country. These men do it because they are INSECURE about their women.Women of these cults….start killing your men for YOUR OWN HONOR!!!!! They deserve NONE.

dribnif   May 16th, 2008 - 7:25 am

Some discipline’s better than no discipline.

kathy   May 16th, 2008 - 9:10 am

this is happened when a person do not want to change.
want to stay in tradition. do not want to change in a good way.

doing everything and telling people it is in the holy book. and it is not written at all. doing bad things and blaming GOD.

Smegolicious   May 16th, 2008 - 10:07 am

No, No ,NO! you got it all wrong you savage Indians. God, the blond-haired, blue-eyed jesus said to kill “the village people” not people “from the village”! .. We should all let them know how immoral their religion is and then force ours on them. Killing people is wrong. Well, unless it’s one of the millions and millions the bible commands us too.

P.S .. Why does everybody call us Christians hypocrites?

Pauline   May 16th, 2008 - 10:56 am

To the guy who said liberalism is about”…equality of results..” NO..that is communism, or in the soft form socialism.

Liberalism is about equality of OPPORTUNITY, acceptance of individual abilities, caring for those who CANNOT care for themselves ( not equality of results), defending freedom of speech from absurdities like “hate speech” laws, rule of law ( in our country..based on our constitution), the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, defending basic human rights regardless of who or where…hmmm, just off the top of my head.

That is liberalism. The problem is that liberalism today now means to many people what you believe it means, which leads full circle back to undemocratic ways.

For those of you who say “this is what happens in the world’s largest democracy”..I say..this is ILLEGAL in India and they are being prosecuted. So, when we in the States have a crazy murder or serial killer, we denounce democracy as the cause? C’mon!

Newsflash   May 16th, 2008 - 11:32 am

Wow… a lot of blanket statements against Indians here. How is it that you don’t hear the same against Austrians … has everyone already forgotten the basement sex slave & incest story that went on for 24 years.

Pauline   May 16th, 2008 - 8:12 pm

To the bigot who claims that Christians are commanded to kill…please find that commandment in the Christian testament.

Alex   May 17th, 2008 - 9:07 am

Arrest the parents and feed them into a Slurpee machine at 7-11 and be done with it! They’re worthless and anyone who would follow such nonsense is nuts!

Smegolicious   May 18th, 2008 - 12:49 am

Pauline, Show me in the bible the “Christian Testament”? Can you show me where Jesus said you don’t have to follow the old testament? The new testament is just the fairy tale of Jesus’s life.

Matthew 5:17-18
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

Guess what, the Earth hasn’t disappeared. Now go kill people, like your bible says.
