Cue another argument about sharia law and islamic practises etc...

I for one amen't surprised that it's happened in an islamic community.

They don't support this as

"Medine's father and grandfather have been arrested and jailed pending trial over her killing, the agency said."

This isn't a religious thing , it's child murders hiding behind religion.

It has less to do with Islam and more to do with culture and society. However you're right, these cultures which engage in this sort of barbarism aren't going to listen to westerners condemnation. They would listen to being condemned by others in the Islamic world. That however is not going to happen unfortunately.

At least in Turkey justice will be served.

Animals. the amount of sickening sh*te that goes on in this world is appaling. at least some people are standing up to it and it makes the news, which may help to stop it, but god only knows what we dont know and never will hear about...

at times like this, im happy we live in a country and culture thats knows, by in large, the difference between right and wrong. we have our scumbags, but this is wrong, wrong, wrong...

hope the c*nts are buried alive themselves.

Catenaccio!

Ha, homerjay2005 failing big time with that last sentence.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with the Pope but...I really do not want to see Turkey in the E.U.

They want to join the EU? They should be told to feck off.

Anyone else just fill up with rage reading that?

CreepingDeath

Should there not be a "Moral Outrage" forum for this sort of thing ?

Obviously they do, hence the father and grandfather have been arrested.

I don't think you can shine any sort of light on the moral compass of Ireland. History (even recent history) has shown how evil our fellow countrymen and women can be.

No but because they have a widespread religion which they use to justify this sort of thing. One could imagine that there would have been a level of support for the actions of the father and grandfather although maybe not publicly expressed.

Of course they do. But the news is wildly disproportionate. Nothing sells like outrage, and that's all the news wants to peddle. You find a story that portrays Muslims, or in fact, anyone who's got controversy surrounding them in a positive light, and I guarantee you, none of the news outlets will cover it.

I for one, fully support Turkey's application to be a full member of the European Union.

With interesting things like this going on, What a great addition they would make..

As they are both sitting in a jail cell tonight I can't agree.

Religion is only the excuse , 99.99999999% of Muslims didn't burn their daughter last night.

Nowhere in the article does it specify the perpetrators religion

There is NOTHING WHATSOEVER in Islam to justify this. In fact if you (or they had) read the Qur'an you find that they will be punished severly by God for doing this. Please educate yourself.

You mean like this one.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8455897.stm Yup it was fairly well covered. How's that 'guarantee' looking?

But a form of that religion created an environment where this act was a possibility.

I'm just wondering why some Ayatollah or something doesnt come out and condemn this type of act, just baffles me

Riddle101

It's sickening but at least the father and grandfather have been arrested, rather then allowing them to go free, like some other countries have done in the Middle East. Wasn't there a case two weeks ago where a woman got raped and was actually arrested instead, while the rapist get's to go free.

Yeah but man you're obviously going to say that because you don't want us finding out about the other secret qur'an that tells how you guys plan to bury all our daughters next. Sly one.

What?!! Are you serious? How did Islam create this? Murdering any innocent person is a serious crime.
