This is not going to be an eloquent post. Don't know about you, but rage shuts down my ability to choose my words carefully. So be it.
I hate the term 'honor killing.' Excuse me, but there is zero fucking honor in butchering a girl because she's gotten a little too uppity for her father's or brothers' Neanderthal tastes. Hey, Muslims of the world: It's beyond awful that this savagery occurs in your tribal societies thousands of miles from here; but bring your primitive bloodlust and your creepy notions of what it means to be a real man to our shores, and the awfulness will rain down on you. There will be blowback. Oh, there will be fucking blowback allright.
For your information, real men love their daughters more than life itself. Real men will do anything to stop them from getting hurt, and will, without ever a moment's thought, put their daughters' safety and well-being over antiquated, selfish notions of pride.
Muhammad and Waqas Parvez, Pakistani immigrants to Canada who killed 16-year-old Aqsa Parvez because she was reluctant to wear the hijab and had the gall to want a part-time job, are not men. They are shit; they are the reeking, rotting flotsam of a so-called faith that takes the brutal pronouncements of a delusional, child-fucking, seventh-century warrior-prophet, mixes them with the insane machismo prevalent in all clan-based cultures, then uses that toxic cocktail to justify bloodshed in the name of a very fucked-up brand of "morality."
I take outright pleasure from the fact that Muhammad Parvez, who is now 60, was just given a life sentence that will make him ineligible for parole for 18 years; he will most likely die behind bars. And if there is a God, I pray that Waqas will come out a broken man in a couple of decades, after he's served his too-short sentence, and that he'll be gaunt and spent from the forced daily poundings he'll be taking from his burly, tattoo-sporting, Aryan-Nation-worshipping cellmates. Please, God.
And just by the fucking way, the most chilling aspect of this case, and many like it, is not that these murdering sociopaths exist; it's that they get a free pass from so many of their fellow Muslims, who collectively insist (as they do here) that "the girl had it coming." All of these people — and, I should add, their multiculturalist enablers on the left* — are beneath contempt.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
* Footnote: To some extent, those enablers include the Canadian prosecutors, who charged Muhammad and Waqas Parvez with second-degree murder even though the killing of Aqsa was indisputably premeditated. The lesser charge was brought, the Globe and Mail implies, in recognition of the cultural differences that exist between the Parvez family and non-Muslim Canadians.


They only call them honor killings because we are too cowardly to call them Islamic killings.

I should point out that this is in Canada, so it's not called an "honor killing". You forgot our love of extra letters. It's called "why the fuck is there even a chance of these guys getting out of prison".

I disagree. This was a very eloquent post.

And here we have Islam in a nutshell. If any thing you are more eloquent while enraged, rage on good sir.

I'm not trying to defend Islam, just put the problem in perspective. The ME can be toxic. So can religion. And some people are just going to be horrible.

there is a God. he is love, tolerance, patience, mercy, longsuffering, justice, and forgiveness. BUT MURDERING THE INNOCENT IN HIS NAME CANNOT BE TOLERATED. Any religion that promotes this kind of behavior is not in line with the living God. Even Christian religions are walking a fine line. But God is NOT a religion. And walking with God is purely a personal expeience. No one has a God given right to dictate that! GOD BLESS AQSA PARVEZ!!

I would also like to add that I believe in Christ, but I do not get caught up in the religious dogma. I believe one should know through the word itself, and let the spirit guide you. That way, we cannot be led by the blind.
