Italy: Pakistani man sentenced to 30 years in jail for daughter's 'honour killing'

[Whatsthepoint]

We had this type of news in the case of a new religion. I am not sure which one ( i forgot the name) but in this religion its forbidden to accept blood transfusions and in this way 2 childrens died. May be more but i remember only about them and the press blamed the religion and parents ignorance for the tragedy

Jehovah's witnesses are hardly a new religion..
Did they mention their religion only in this particular case or whenever a jehovah's witness had done something wrong?

Last time I checked "sight" as in a web"sight" was spelt "site".

Anyway, I shall inform you immediately as ur the only one on my mind when I watch the news :mmokay:

Spelt is defined as “a hardy wheat”: a hardy variety of wheat of inferior quality, sometimes grown in mountainous regions

Did you mean “spelled”?

But any way, spelling aside, I will look for your notification.

In the UK its acceptable to spell "spelt" the way I did.

Ill keep you in mind don't worry

'Spelt' and 'spelled' are the same word, guys. 'Spelt' is the British way of spelling it, and 'spelled' the American.

And don't start this Spelling and Grammar Nazi stuff, or you'll all be calling me Der Fuhrer.

agreed..but they no longer happen on any large scale in the christian community....they are still extremely common in islamic countries..and it is the goverments that are to blame..where are the laws, the law enforcement...and most importantly the places for people to take shelter in when they fear for there life..

Task force? The EU don't really operate that way.

Unless you're talking about Directives, which are basically the EU saying to all member states 'hey, you all have to draw up laws that make X illegal, or we'll sanction the crikey out of you'.

I haven't heard anything about the EU and honour killings though. Hmm.

BBC article man I remember it.It concerned about police forces across EU nations.Plus UK got special consulates in Pakistan and Bangladesh to rescue women who are forced to marry back at home.

I wonder why people immigrate to Non Muslim nations when they know what might happen.

What is needed both in islamic countries where this is common as well as in neighborhoods where there is a high population of muslim immigrants is outreach programs..there should be someplace safe for both women and men who fear they are in danger...You can agree or disagree with what people do..but we are all human and all make bad decisions sometimes..especailly when we are young..beyond that the issue of forced marriage needs to be addressed and there needs to be safe havens for people of both sexes to go to escape..
I remember about 4 or 5 years ago in New York a 15 year old girl was picked up off the street in a wedding dress..she was running and crying..when the police questioned her she said her parents were forcing her to marry her 36 or 37 year old cousin...the girl was put into foster care and her parents jailed..It is that simple why is it forced married is allowed in these countries..I asked again Where is law enforcement???
