 |
|
| Quote: | | On Monday a Kurdish Muslim father, Abdalla Yones, was convicted of murdering his 16-year-old daughter Heshu after she formed a relationship with a Christian boyfriend. |
| Quote: | There were 12 "honour killings" in Britain last year - six in London, according to Scotland Yard.
Victims were sometimes taken abroad before being murdered, he added.

1) Watch for the language used by muslims carefully:
"We do not condone honor killings."
Cannot they just come out and say they condemn them?
2) Many Muslims would understand Yones being upset by his daughter's apparent rejection of his faith, said Mr Bunglawala, but they would never condone his actions.
3) "It may have been disheartening to see his daughter growing up not with his value system but someone else's.
No where do they say that their girls should have the right to choose their religion and commiting brutality against them should be condemned. |
