if she is of Pakistani Origin wouldn't be likely make her Muslim? not that it makes a difference, killed for refusing to marry, not safe there at all, i wonder why she stayed.
TTT you're probably right, but frankly I don't really feel I want to spend time researching your old posts. Trouble is, you bring out the worst in me. I try to ignore you, but you know what it's like when you have an annoying flying thing buzzing around, sometimes even a Jain is tempted to swat it.
Personally i don't think this has anything at all to do with religion. There was no arranged marriage, no 'honour' killing. Just two men who couldn't handle the fact this poor young woman wanted to marry neither.
I'm amazed at the amount of twisting and turning going on here in order to not blame the obvious. Women have no rights under Islam and almost anything they do is punishable by stoning, beating or death, often officially often not. Offending a suitor by not acceding to his demands can often lead to death or if they are lucky merely good solid beating or a face full of acid. To say this is not a result of the ways of islam is a massive exercise in delusion.
The problem in Pakistan and other such countries where Islam has a hold is that women are second class citizens. I am pretty sure the attitude of the killers in the UK would be different to Pakistan where many would almost think it their right.
