Muslim dad has daughter killed for wearing mini-skirts | Say What? — I wonder how many of these stories go unreported. I guess THAT will show her!
A Russian father of the Muslim faith has admitted to hiring hit men to kill his daughter for wearing mini-skirts.
Garfar Kirimov of St. Petersburg told police he paid the gangsters almost $3,000 to shoot his daughter after she refused to wear traditional Muslim attire for women. The 46-year-old man had asked her to stop wearing make-up, tight tops and short skirts.
The 21-year-old girl was shot and killed by the hit men as she left her medical college, according to the Austrian Times. She is said to have told her father before the shooting, “Dad, we live in St. Petersburg, how could I wear those black clothes?”
joaoPT,
..
“Honor” killing is a real and huge problem in some Muslim countries.
..
My impression is that it’s worst in South Asia but it happens in the Middle East and the Muslim diaspora. (And, I am sure that only the very rare case get’s noticed in the west.)
..
But, it should be always be pointed out that a number of Muslims — especially liberal and moderates — take great personal risk to speak out against it. And, of course, the average Muslim does not do it.
..
But is “honor” killing huge problem? Absolutely.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Well no shit Sherlock!
Huge Ripper,
..
While there is a lot of Muslim bashing on this board, it is NOT bashing to admit that “honor” killing is real and a big, tragic problem in some Muslim countries.
..
However, violence against women is not exclusive to Muslims. Far from it!
..
I’ve never seen statistics but I’d be very surprised if women-targeted violence tracks along religious lines. If atheists claim they are somehow superior in this regard, I’d like to see the statistics.

They should come out and say these people are nuts. The media has no balls they are so PC
Hey John ,why am I writing my comments from the right side of the page ?

Agreed. I just feel obliged to point out the hypocrisy of the position the Muslim haters take.
I believe its also a practise that’s prevalent in Hindu society.
How many Russian men are shot for wearing tight speedos? Not enough.

Weird!
This is quite rampant in Israel. A documentary I saw about the lack of emancipation of Arab women of the city of Ramlah near Tel-Aviv (not Ramallah, which is in the Palestinian territory) the creator of the film stated at the end that during the shooting of the film 4 (!!!) women she interviewed were killed by relatives over decency or over-independance disputes.
Religious extremeism is never good. Right Alphie?
Faxon,
<i>Anyway, Obamarama says we should all suck the cocks of Muslims, so just bow down and start slurping. </i>
After you. But don’t wait for Obama to tell you, if that is your thing, go for it.
yawn, another anti islam story not worthy of a post.
You shouldn’t just this of course. It’s perfectly normal in their culture to treat women worse than dogs.
i think this has more to do with a crazy/disturbed father than islam just like that guy who beheaded his wife on the name of whatever. additionally with all these fathers killing their entire families here in the US recently we are not immune to cRaZy either.
Such stupid things are done in the name of religion. Makes me so wish I was to meet this father in a dark alley with a baseball bat. Then he would have to make sure he hired someone to wipe his sorry butt when he is old.
It’s funny, I’ve been living in a European country for all my life (44 years), I’m no Muslim and about 10% of the citizens here is Muslim. In those 44 years only ONE Muslim treated me bad and… the matter was solved on a friendly and peaceful way within 4 hours !
I’m not saying this “Dad” isn’t a total moron (or Kafir
, but I do get a little sick of all those countless people blaming 1 billion (!) people for the act of some *ssholes. Assholes can be found in any religion/culture and everyone knows a few in their own religion/culture !
Suppose your neighbour and you share the same religion and he beats up his wife&kids, should people blame you for his behaviour ?
Wake up people, prejudice is usually far worse as believing in a religion.
