I saw this picture and it made me sad

Poor girl.

Photo made available by the Italian Police in Brescia, Italy, Sunday, Aug. 13, 2006, showing 21-year-old Hina Saleem of Pakistani origin. The body of Hina Saleem was discovered by the Italian Police Saturday, buried in the garden of her parents’ home, after her boyfriend called police the previous evening worried that he had not heard from her. Authorities have accused Mohammed Saleem, the father of Hina, of murdering his daughter. Italian media has reported that Hina Saleem, was murdered because she had an Italian boyfriend and refused to conform to an Islamic lifestyle. (AP Photo/Italian Police/HO)

Is our culture now like “mafia” culture? Kill those who have friends outside the “family”?

nice looking girl...her parents must be really sick

Re: I saw this picture and it made me sad

Thats so messed up. Islamic culture is so crazy.

Re: I saw this picture and it made me sad

Coming from a follower of hinduism, which considers general hygene haraam, it means a lot....

Re: I saw this picture and it made me sad

yea…why don’t you first move out of your country. then find your kids rebelling against you, and then murder them in the name of islam and culture. isn’t that the way to go:rolleyes:

Re: I saw this picture and it made me sad

Hinduism?

Astagfurallah. I am a Sunni Muslim man…well nominally. I find religion to be one big laugh in reality.

I can still go into a raving religious frenzy when needed.

Re: I saw this picture and it made me sad

Sorry, my bad, I should have said athiest pagan...

Re: I saw this picture and it made me sad

No, not Pagan.

Re: I saw this picture and it made me sad

Honour killings occur in Italian families also I believe. Different forms occur round the world. Same basis.

Re: I saw this picture and it made me sad

What is with this sudden outburst of extremist islam in the west??

There's something strange about how it's all been happening systematically. Where was this 10 or 15 years ago?

Re: I saw this picture and it made me sad

I think it's being reported more, but even then it does seem like muslims are getting crazier by the minute.

Re: I saw this picture and it made me sad

Muslims are often a bit mad. Admit it, we are. We get angry easily.

Re: I saw this picture and it made me sad

Its really sad and tragic to see a woman killed by her own parents.. But lets not jump to conclusions. We don’t know what really transpired and just a report in an italian newspaper does not reveal the whole truth behind this. As you all know how the media stigmatise islam and muslims and projects the acts of a few random so called muslims to the whole umma. If these parents commited this horrible act , it is not condoned by islam. In islam if an unmarried man or a woman person engeges in sexual intercourse it is not punishable by death.

I think we should not mix culture and islam, they are two completely differnt concepts.

Re: I saw this picture and it made me sad

any statistics to back it up?? or u are also influenced by the media?

Re: I saw this picture and it made me sad

This is more related to culture then to islam like Honour killings/Marriage with quran etc.

Astagfirullah

Re: I saw this picture and it made me sad

Its my experience as a Muslim. I am pretty representative of modern Muslims. I get mad easily. I can go from nice to vicious at the drop of a hat.

Re: I saw this picture and it made me sad

and thats a virtue of a muslim? it represents islam?

Re: I saw this picture and it made me sad

Muslims = Terrorists
Whiety = Evil
Hindu = Banyaa
Jews = Kanjoos
and the list goes on and on

Re: I saw this picture and it made me sad

Jews= devil spawn, liars, cheats, thives, satan's children, evil doers, snakes, vipers, human cancer on the earth and genocide fakers.

No point writing only a little list. :p

Re: I saw this picture and it made me sad

I think so.

Although sometimes I’m just hyper cos I’m (a) drunk or (b) missing easy access college sex.
