how can a father ever think its ok to do this?he killed hios daughter in londin and stuffed her in a suitcase then drove her to birmingham and buried the case.
rthis isnt just a news story but its a question that may cross racial barriers
since 1991 honour killings in northern iraq are on the rise ,and people from tha tarea are carrying them out no matter wheree they live in the world.
i know its a cultural thing but it disgusts me that people could do this to their own family.

where is the HONOUR in it???

where indeed???.

It is very sad that in some cultures, their religion and way of life is far more important than life itself, even the life of their own flesh and blood!!

We have a lot of problems in our British society, but in reality we lead a relatively safe and peaceful life.

you should love your children no matter what. how can you kill your own child for loving someone of a different religion?? religion is the cause of most evil in the world.

obviously not the same circs but alot of men disown their sons for being gay i beleive that once you have brought your baby up and loved them surely if they are nice people then what does it matter who they are in a relationship with?

joro, my Son once said to me "Dad, what would you say if I said I was gay" I said "No problem, you are still the same person you were before telling me" OK, he said just testing!!!

I was so relieved!! It wouldn't of made any difference to how I felt about my Son, but heterosexual life is just so much easier!!

what did anger me was that when the woman ran down the street bare foot covered in blood the police said she was a dramam queen and seeking attention.
she broke a window to escape her dad who was trying to stranghle her and the police threatened to charge her for damaging it!!!

i think a little more tolerance and understanding is needed .
not nannying just listening to folk instyead of being so dismissive all the time.
