#1 Shooting a 14 year old girl in the leg, knee, and arm sounds more like the hand- and foot-chopping they do in Soddiland. The gut shot might or might not kill right away, depending on which organs are torn apart.

I can only conclude that they wanted her to live. And suffer mightily.

At least for a little while.

#2 There is no such thing as an "Honour killing".

#3 But, of course, remember that all-cultures-are-equal(tm)... and who are we to judge theses exotic customs anyway?

Anyway, it has been said that the first victims of islam are muslim; while I'm very ambivalent about this double status (for example, in my view, muslim wimmen are also enforcers of the statu-quo and perpetuaters of the ummah sick system through the upbringing of the kiddies, especially the boys), I have no doubt it's true, and the way the Pious Moderate Muslims(tm) treat 50% of their population is as twisted and degradign as the way they treat their minorities.

#4 There is no such thing as an "Honour killing".

The term is an oxymoron that ranks right along side two of my own newly minted contenders; "Arab Dignity" and "Islamic Integrity".

And, yes, kudos to the father.
