I wonder how Allah will feel with old man is working overtime, packing fudge with another inmate.

What a tragedy I hope they rot in jail for a long long time.

I take bets that they find Jesus shortly before parole comes up.

He will get some spiritual enlightenment as he going to understand what it is like not to be in the dominant position.

Leaders in Canada's Islamic community are saying the Shafia quadruple-murder trial was fundamentally about domestic violence rather than so-called honour killings, a day after a Kingston, Ont., jury convicted all three of the accused in the case.

No shit it's domestic abuse. It's a specific kind of domestic abuse that is all too prevalent in certain primitive cultures where religion plays a strong role. Latin American(although not as much nowadays), South Asian(India and Pakistan both have long histories of women being killed, usually by in laws), and and Islamic societies are good examples of cultures that refuse to accept the equality of women, seeing them more as property than as persons

What a waste. Seven lives ruined, all over a silly old storybook.

A book doesn't make people kill.

Nope. Culture does. It's a strange story. The guy doesn't seem like a devout Muslim - no beard for instance. He didn't make the women wear bags. Yet he goes to this extreme because the girls wanted to live like ordinary Canadians. I actually wonder if the 2nd wife played a greater role here - pushing him into it because she wanted to get rid of wife no 1. There seems to be a family split between husband, wife no 2, and son, and the other kids who also supported dad and mom in court, and the people killed. This may have been about more than an honor killing.

Ya, lots of cultures have primitive ideas about family honour and honour killings. I haven't read anything in this case that suggests he was motivated by religion, hes just a conservative.

The tragedy is if these fuckers get deported, they go free and never have to answer for their crime, if they rot in prison for the next 25 years, then we the tax payer gets to foot the bill... Time to re-examine the Death Penalty...
