Not many but how many of them would put a fatwa on their daughter's life?

How many Muslims have in this case? Zero.

How many have done it in this case? Or is idle speculation just too much fun to worry about something mundane like facts?

You're right. They don't tend to murder others over sexual sins. Some just prefer to join them instead:

I don't know. Take a headcount and get back with me. I'd like to know too.

Stand by . . . Now that is in the news, I'm sure Karzai will brief the Afghani people on it and word will get around. They will grab someone and behead them (as retaliation), then they will issue the fatwah after they buy an issue - just for proof - of course.

I don't get what the big deal is. Other than the sentence about husbands being chosen for daughters, you could replace every instance of "Muslim" with "Christian" and "Turkish" with "American" and you'd have a dull, but perfectly believable story.
