How are we to know, the Brits have not even finished their investigation. All we can do in this poll is speculate...

A double homocide, the woman and the baby she was carrying. There is no honor in murder and anyone who believes otherwise is a sociopath regardless of his/her religion.

Umm... yeah. I'm asking people to take a guess and see if they are right later. We always hear liberals (and even non-liberals like fomer President Bush) caution us about any backlash against Muslims yet we never hear of any. So, is this someone attacking a pregnant 17 year old Muslim for being a Muslim or is it an 'honor killing' by the girl's family for getting pregnant out of marriage? I just want to see how people are leaning with their intuition.

I think it is an honor killing. And I am usually right with my guesses.

How disgusting. I can understand the hurt and anger over your daughter getting knocked up at a young age and out of marriage BUT killing her is NOT the solution. The person who burnt her alive should be burnt too.

This nation was built and has been maintained as the nation all others envied, because of our strong Christian values. Not because it was a free for all.
You can not prosper without morals, ethics, and a firm direction as we evolve.

Christianity and Islam, are a contradiction of each other and do not mingle well at all.
One is forgiving, and the other doesn't cut any slack for being a human.

You realize, Muslims have been brainwashed to keep the Holy War going until all infidels are eliminated. Can you see why a religion has waged a war against a nation of soil and lives, regardless of faith. The USA was founded upon and has maintained Christian values.

This is a continuation of the Holy wars Muslims and Christians have been fighting for Centuries.

In the name of fairness, equality and forgiveness, our nation has become naive and complacent, to believe all others around the world are as caring and forgiving as we are. It is going to cost us for not screening who we allow in this nation more closely. There was a time, where we didn't just let anyone in.

It's a murder. (doesn't matter which of the other two were motives to the killing of the woman)
