"...a victim of an honour killing is always left in an unmarked grave."
Update: "Calgary imam Syed Soharwardy knows of '100 graves of women' killed " ????

Not so much for the mutilated workers who built it though.

Posted by: Shaken at December 10, 2008 11:01 AMHonour killing is complete and total lunacy.
Posted by: Free Thinker at December 10, 2008 11:15 AMSad. So sad, what happened to Aqsa. As for her murderers...repulsive.
Posted by: Moose Javian at December 10, 2008 11:20 AMI wonder if the court will dare to label it an Honour Killing. That will upset the Mohammedans in general and we can't have that.
Posted by: BL@KBIRD at December 10, 2008 11:30 AMRemember the script, BL@KBIRD: "Honour killings are a cultural phenomenon unrelated to Islam... actually, condemned by Islam...", etc.

Technically Honour killings predate Islam but the Mohammedans love it's effect on pacifying females. So they honour this ancient custom and practice it universally.It's like saying the Christmas tree is not related to Christianity at all but Christians love and keep the tradition of the tree.
Posted by: BL@KBIRD at December 10, 2008 12:09 PMSo, that means Syed also has the names of 100 husbands and fathers who have murdered their daughters right here in Canada.
I take it he has already given their names to the Calgary police and the RCMP.
No...?
Posted by: Kathy Shaidle at December 10, 2008 12:12 PMOne of the last centuries messia's, Mahatma Ghandi, required medical assistance from the British in order to save his life. He was treated and recovered.
After that, his wife also required a medicine available only from the west, he refused to allow it, and she died.
A man of peace?
I wonder how much it costs to buy a big gaudy grave marker, just to show the world who it was and why they were taken. I'd probably kick in a couple bucks to that in this case.
We're assuming that the family is never putting a marker there, and not that they simply haven't had it placed yet. Assuming that the family won't be doing anything, would they really ask for a marker to be removed if someone else puts one there?

These three words sum up to views of leftards regarding women. Brown, yellow and red need not apply( or black if not from N.America) for women's rights.
Posted by: Indiana Homez at December 10, 2008 1:07 PMSad to say, John Lennon's song Woman is the Niger of the world is as accurate today as it ever was.
Little did I expect that it would be so bluntly lived out by barbaric killings of innocent young women in our country, at this date in time, and for "religious/cultural" reasons, and all without a peep from the blood loving media peons.
Kill an American marine and well hey there - you're a freakin cbc hero...[spit]
Woman of influence and power here, especially the media ones that never say more than a word or two about these happenings, now in common in our country ... their silence is as sickening as the murderers acts of barbarity.
Bunch'a high priced polished 'slaves' of the snake pit called 'media business' in this country.
Beyond sick! And realize fully well that our "friends" on the Radical Left would condemn all of us for passing judgement on this situation. After all, we're not "culturally sensitive" enough to have any opinions on this murdered young woman. Did I mention "beyond sick"?!

Posted by: h.ryan at December 10, 2008 2:18 PMWe should demand to have Sharia law illegal in Canada,this is nothing other than first degree murder.
Posted by: h.ryan at December 10, 2008 2:24 PMReally sad that Soharwardy said that as if to impress us...
Pamela at Atlas Shrugs is collecting donations to buy a monument for Aqsa.
