Man jailed for beating daughter
2006-03-15
A court in Kristiansand, southern Norway, has sentenced a man to 120 days in jail for beating his teenage daughter with straps and a metal rod. The beatings were sparked by her admission that she no longer was a virgin. The 49-year-old man, who emigrated to Norway from Iraq, claimed he'd done nothing wrong. He told the court that he was "much kinder" than many other fathers from his culture would have been. He claimed most other men would have killed the girl, instead of "just beating her."
They don't call it the "Religon of Peace" for nothing.
He also complained that his daughter had put his family in a difficult situation by reporting the beatings to police.
She put the family in a bad light by airing their dirty linen in public. Now she'll have to be killed
Kristiansand newspaper Fædrelandsvennen reported that he now fears he'll be deported. The court decision marks the second time he's been convicted of assaulting his daughter. He was sentenced to 45 days in prison last June after he beat his daughter for coming home late and having a boyfriend. The beatings continued after the daughter admitted she'd had sexual relations with two boyfriends. The father also allegedly threatened to decapitate her.
Another old family custom
He told the court that he regrets bringing his family to Norway, because he believes the country is much less conservative than he had thought it was.

Yeah, nothing gives you a bad rep in the community like the truth coming out. Act like a cretin and, guess what? People will think you're a cretin.

so he thought beating the crap out of his daughter was in alignment with the "Norwegian" way?

#4  How the hell does Islam remove parental love ?
My understanding of discipline is that one uses a smack to shock and focus the underling while issuing orders. The act of brutal beating or whipping to inflict pain and lasting discomfort goes beyond constructive instruction. Surely the parent gets no pleasure from such acts. Maybe he gets an olive tree in paradise or something simplistic.
Phuckan Islamic voodoo.

Not as "regretful" as the Norwegians I'd wager.

#2  What's unusual is that she was even allowed outside. They must have mandatory public school in Norway.

I wonder how many muslim girls are "home schooled" in western countries? Then, after they have been successfully schooled, the family arranges for the girl to marry her cousin back in the old country so he can move away from that Islamic paradise.

No, Norway is conservative. Just not of the barbaric practices of your benighted people.
