The title of your thread made me think the guy just fleet one day to cut his daughter's throat. At first I thought he was just insane.

This is just stupid. How can a parent kill their child for doing something like this?? It is not like the gril killed someone. Just stupid and dumb.

How is it "moral" to worry about the innocence or guilt of a capital defendant, while not concerning yourself equally with the guilt or innocence of a non-capital defendant nevertheless sentenced to die behind bars, just a bit more slowly?

I happen to be in favor of the death penalty in rare situations, but this is a specious argument. If you're worried about innocence/guilt, then putting somebody in prison for life gives more time to make sure that was the correct decision. If somebody confesses to the crime a year after somebody was executed for it, all the State can say is "Oops." If they put them in jail for life, they would at least be able to give them the rest of their life back.

Now, if the truth is found out a hundred years later? Sure, they were both death sentences. But the "ten years later" case is more relevant for what people are worried about.

I don't understand what you're getting at. You go to live in America if you want to become an American, right? Therefore why wouldn't you want your children to grow up as Americans?

This has nothing to do with each other. People know and count on continuing their (flawed) lifestyle over in the US. They don't think their kids will become americanized. Fact is, most kids don't.

That's what I'm trying to get at. For example, Greeks get upset that their children aren't good Greek children, but normal American kids instead. Same with Arabs and Indians I've dealt with. A girl was killed by her Muslim father here (USA) a couple years back because she was 'uncontrollable,' basically for the same non-reason this man the thread is about did.

If you want to raise Greek kids, stay in Greece. If you bring them here, they're gonna be Americans and want to be Americans.

Actually, most do. It's the same old immigrant experience that's been going on for hundreds of years here, only some groups seem to think it won't happen to them, or that it shouldn't happen to them. America is very seductive.

If she has a crushed trachea, cutting her throat open can save her life, but it has to be done carefully.

That's just sickening. The note is priceless, though equally sickening in its own way.

I can't think of anything of value to add to the thread. I'm overwhelmed by disgust.

I am just looking at the way I saw kids in Britain and France. I don't know how it is in the US.

The extremism of the Muslim faith is appalling. (Or is it only a sect that is extreme?) Since I support "freedom of religion," I would be hesitant to ban Islam. But short of that, what can we do about it?

I've heard lots of stories about this in Denmark... or actually they're worse... Here's one of them:

A danish guy and a girl (from one of those countries) was walking down the street (Hand in hand) as her uncle came by... Her uncly almost killed the guy, while the girl was killed later by her fater

That's what I've heard... and I've heard lots of simular stories...

I'd be very suprised to hear a Christian honour killing, since honour from a Christian worldview, is always less valuable than a person's life.

that's not the way to do it.

what you should write is

* Az raises middle finger... moderators have it pixelated


and a bit more on-topic, though I understand your uncomfort, I have no other choice but to remind you that your point of view is because in the belief system of their culture, this is acceptable, that action cannot be judged.

come on, you're a moral relativist, aren't you? The father was commiting something customary to his culture. Why all of a sudden you consider it a bad thing?

you can get frustrated and upset all you want, this is the truth, and if you have any consistency, you should demand that this man would be set free.
