mikey10 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 lets be honest. some Muslims are extreme racists, like sections of other communities. Would a Muslim family allow their daughter to marry a white christian from Englang. Does anyone have an example of this happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know quite a few one of my best mates who is white ( english ) is married to an asian lass who is muslim. Also, the honour killings are done by old, uneducated stuck-in-their-ways plants. Dont tar everyone with the same brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladesufc1 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 An honor killing is a murder, nearly exclusively of a woman, who has been perceived as having brought dishonor to her family. Such killings are typically perpetrated by the victim's own relatives and/or community and unlike a crime of passion or rage-induced killing, it is usually planned in advance. In societies and cultures where they occur, such killings are often regarded as a "private matter" for the affected family alone, and courts rarely become involved or prosecute the perpetrators. The United Nations Population Fund estimates that the annual worldwide total of honor-killing victims may be as high as 5,000 women. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor_killing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont tar everyone with the same brush. i didnt tar anybody, you're too sesative when it comes to issues like this, i just asked. ive never heard of it and ive worked at a BME and in areas like tinsley and burngreave. and lived in page hall. theres a post earlier that says the police were hindered by the local community, dunno if thats true though.

m3_y Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Did you also notice how the police met resistance from the locals, to the point that they were "defending" the guilty parties? Where did you read this?? How can someone defend such a thing, sick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Where did you read this?? How can someone defend such a thing, sick Theres a bit about why the police didnt take action on PAGE 2 of this atricle, although to be fair it looks like the authorities have pre-empted the response without actualyl doing anything. Whether or not this is because of past experiences, who knows? But when you have things like the Macpherson report to contend with, its never going to help your cause much is it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertyBell Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 ...There must be something which gives these people (her killers) the belief that what they have done is right. A bizarre and twisted view of the world gained from family, culture and perhaps in this case a perverted interpretation of a religious belief. Luckily most people have evolved beyond this.

LibertyBell Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 But when you have things like the Macpherson report to contend with, its never going to help your cause much is it I don't agree that the Macpherson report does anything to stop police doing their work . If police can't sort out the priorities between "political correctness" and preventing a murder then god help us all. If that is the case, blame the police, not Macpherson. It's like admitting that because they just don't know how to deal fairly with BME communites, doing nothing becomes an option in cases like this. I assume and still believe that that the police are there to protect and serve the whole community, not just the ones they are comfortable dealing with.

mr contrite Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Whether or not its cultural, or religious, makes no difference, in many countries the 2 are so intertwined that there is very little to differentiate between them, women are treated as commodities.

RiffRaff Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Where did you read this?? How can someone defend such a thing, sick Not only in the papers this morning, but also broadcast on BBC TV last night - an interview with a police spokeswoman if memory serves...
