FOXNews.com - Palestinian Suspected of Murdering Pregnant Wife Because Ultrasound Showed She Was Having a Girl

Truly horrible. Muslim culture needs more education -- a lot more -- about the intrinsic value of women and girls.

The more important matter is keeping them out of our culture, and our country.

Atrocities like that are not that seldom in that region, they are older than Islam, though Islam isn't improving things, either.

Of course no where does the article mention Islam, it mentions a man jealous of his brother's sons. That's surely a pure Islamic trait, eh? What about American women who've done charming things like drown their kids because 'God told then to', was that Allah speaking?

Yep. It's not necessarily a 'religious' thing though, it's a cultural thing. With females, the family has to pay a dowry and they lose the woman to the man's family. With a male child, they receive a dowry and get to gain a new family member. That means that the parents will be taken care of in their old age. If they have female children, they will have nobody, since the woman essentially belongs to the man's family.

It's pretty archaic, really.

You're right.

We can learn a lot from the Mormons about how to treat women I think.

Absolutely correct.The more Muslim extremists that move here the more we will see this stupidity.The more they will try to force their twisted beliefs on every one else.We will have more honor killings,protests,censorship of anything that offends their backwards thinking and other problems.Their Hero Mohammed was a pedophile(9 year old wife) and also kept slaves.Criticism of Muhammad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Any criticism of him is met with calls for Jihad,but beheadings,stonings and suicide bombers get a pass.Look at the trouble Europe has with these fanatics.
