That sounds about as dumb as the guy who stabbed and killed a teen because rap music made him "want to stab somebody".

Lentils vs curried goat? I'd vote to acquit in a heart beat.


Disclaimer: before there is a #Bancatto, I was only joking. There is absolutely not excuse for violence over menu choices, regardless of sex, race, national origin or religion... or in this case non-religion.

This sounds like an episode of the X-files. Obviously it wasn't the lentils that drove this man to kill his wife.

A woman's life in their culture is not valued as highly as a mans. To them, women were put on earth to serve her husband and before that, her male family members. Any deviation from what the men consider "proper", and they can best them. If they feel a woman has shamed the family in some way, then it is their duty to kill them. Nothing makes me more sick than reading about honor killings. It is a patriarchal world and we are just living in it.

I agree and I thank God I am not married to one of those men. It is a barbaric practice. No man has the right to treat a woman with anything but equality.

In this day and age of freedom, this should be punishable by LONG prison terms, no matter what country it happens in.

this is not a day and age of freedom. not in much of the world.

and even in american & canada where people think nothing bad can ever happen again, it can happen. genocide can happen in american and canada. pretending that it cant isnt doing anybody any favors. nothing has changed with regard to the history of conquest of nation over other nations. if america becomes weak, someone will come in and butcher us all.

When you are old and alone, you'd be REAL glad if you woke up to a wife cooking you a lentil dinner or eggs or hamburger ala love.
