how many of you personally know of any honor killing ?

well…we think the murder was not the only solution..but we can “understand” why her father did so…in italy the pakistani community is not very instruct as in england, hollend and other country..the majority of pakistani here are from gujrat and small towns (infact there are soo many women who didn’t exit from their homes, they stay in italy just to renew the doc. and then they return in pakistan)…so when there is someone’s daughter who does something wronge, against our culture and religion, the family feels humiliated infact everybody start to watch them from an other point of view…infact there are so many case that i know of daughters escaped from home and now their familys live segregate at home…BUT FROM THE CASES THAT I KNOW THE MAJORITY OF THE FAMILIES ARE WHO BEFORE CRITICIZED THE DAUGHTERS OF OTHER PEOPLE…

WELL, the hina’s case was sooooooo used by the media against the musalmans, they presented her as a great girl with lots of friends, full of life and ecc.ec.. and painted the islamic community rappresented by her father as villains who repress their women, who acts to be good people but they have violent spirit, ecc.ec..
b’cuz of the media also the common people’s point of view changed soo much!! for exemple my father’s italian friend started to ask him if he was thinking to kill me and my sister just b’cuz we wear jeans!!! well…that period was really bad for all the community…
my opinion is that the girls and boys of this first generation in italy should do some sacrifices to have a better future for them, for the community, for the other generation…we are the generation who has to creat the contact between pakistani and italians but this contect has to show the positive aspects to each other…for ex. we should not tell to the italians that the arrange marriage are forced but show them the positive aspect of it and we should not divulge in pakistanis that the italians try to take off our roots…
