[Re: Teen girl in critical condition after alleged dispute over hijab]
Why couldn't she just listen? Ruined the family's live.

Almost all his comments in the thread could be submitted:
"I don't feel sorry for her since she is dead and can't feel pain and agony anymore but her family. This event ruined her family for life. The father supported the family and now he is gone. How will they live? I am sure the father didn't mean to kill her since anger overcame him. I know what the father did was really bad."
My favorite thing about religion..excusing murder.
"Ruined the family's live"?
Where's that playing? Can I get tickets?
P.S...up until that quote Submitter submitted, that thread was full of Raza being a funny tool.
"If that's the case, then why don't you wear a cloth over your head? Come to think of it, why don't you wear a plastic bag over your head? One without holes, preferably."
"If millions of people were doing this around the whole, I would do it."
Self-deception via Argumentum ad populum, and
..spoken like a true sheep.
"You’ll just keep b-a-a-ing along with the edicts of the self-appointed “mouth-pieces of Allah”, no matter how absurd or destructive they may be."
"Argumentum ad populum is if many people believe it, then it must be correct.
I am not using that argument at all. If many people wore a plastic bag over head, then I would have the courage to do it. I am not arguing that it's a correct thing to do."
The question is, how can we convince Raza that suicide is cool?
This event happened in our area, just West of Toronto, Ontario. The girl has since died.
It appears there may have been a conflict between her father's Muslim beliefs and the girl's desire to fit in high school teen culture.
In a way, it was your typical teenage rebellion. I put my father through much of the same when I was sixteen.
Of course, he didn't kill me...
Because if she didn't wear the hijab, the family would die of AIDS?, WTF?. I will be even more straightforward, the same argument couldn't be applied to her parents?. I never understand this medieval minds. We have to mourn for the "honour"(whatever it is for them), but not for the real observable killing of people. Be my guest.
SHE ruined THEIR lives?
What about HER life?
Asshole.
Well, Mister Spak above clearly has learned the right lesson from this story - unthinking bigotry is the answer!</sarcasm>
Anyway... Re. comment #386677: "We have to mourn for the "honour"(whatever it is for them), but not for the real observable killing of people." I'm afraid that in some ways this is a logical conclusion of revealed religion. In that worldview, the mystical, immaterial and "eternal" dwarfs in importance the transient material world, including the happiness or unhappiness of any people who dwell briefly in it. How, then, can anyone think the desires or suffering of one person could compete with the commands of the deity?
So in some ways, this killer and his accomplice son are being more honest and consistent than liberal or moderate monotheists. Still, I know who I'd rather be stuck on a desert island with, especially if I were female.
Sad especially since I believe that the hijab was more of a cleaniness law.
Keeps the blown dirt out of a woman's hair. Wait... We live in the modern world now, with things like showers...
They aren't needed anymore.
FUCK YOU, YOU STUPID ASSHOLE. I HOPE SOMEONE BEATS YOU HALF TO DEATH OVER YOUR STUPID RELIGION.

Gawd, I hate fundies. They suck absolutely.
"I am sure the father didn't mean to kill her since anger overcame him."
I can't perceive a situation in which my father would be so angry with me that he happened to kill me. I just can't. A person has to have a serious lack of impulse control for this to happen, and a perception that his honor is somehow more important than the lives of his children. I'd say that the most harmful thing to the honor, would be the killing of a child.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
