Man kills three daughters in Pakistan (link)

[The mother] recounted how she was awakened by a shriek as Ahmed put his hand to the mouth of his stepdaughter, Muqadas, and cut her throat with a machete. She said she looked on helplessly from the corner of the room as he then killed the three girls — Bano, 8, Sumaira, 7, and Humaira, 4 — pausing between the slayings to brandish the bloodstained knife at his wife, warning her not to intervene or raise alarm….

“I thought the younger girls would do what their eldest sister had done, so they should be eliminated,” he said, his hands cuffed, his face unshaven. “We are poor people and we have nothing else to protect but our honor.”

Islam must have one fucked up definition of “honor” if slaughtering a four year old girl is needed to protect it!

This is not a very good way to convince me that we shouldn’t wipe that culture and religion from the face of the earth by whatever means necessary.
