Just sayin, this still doesn't seem like a bad idea for these people..........
By your twisted logic, a few thousand nukes on America should do the trick!
"The parents, Dale and Leilani Neumann, were ordered to spend 30 days in jail each year for the next six years and were placed on 10 years’ probation. Mr. Neumann, 47, and Ms. Neumann, 41, who live in Weston, in central Wisconsin, had been convicted of second-degree reckless homicide in August."
The father of a 20-year-old woman let her drown in Dubai rather than let lifeguards rescue her.
The father preferred she drown rather than be dishonored by getting touched by male rescuers, reports Emirates 24 News.
Lt. Col. Ahmed Burqibah, deputy director of the Dubai police's search and rescue team, confirmed the incident happened.
The dad had taken his wife and children "to the beach when suddenly, the 20-year-old girl started drowning and screaming for help," Burqibah said.
"Two rescue men were at the beach and they rushed to help the girl. However," said Burqibah, the man "considered that if these men touched his daughter, then this would dishonor her. It cost him the life of his daughter."
Burqibah did not say when the incident took place.
"The father was a strong and tall man. He started pulling and preventing the rescue men and got violent with them. He told them that he prefers his daughter being dead than being touched by a strange man."
The woman drowned and the father was arrested for not allowing rescuers to do their job.
According to the original story--which happened "many years" ago--the man was Asian. He may still have been a Muslim from, say, Indonesia. But the story does not say the man was Muslim.
Added: And notice that the would-be rescuers themselves were Muslim.

Muslims can look at things way different. They have beliefs that are sick and twisted when it involves the females and they will kill their own daughters, which they call honour killings. Weird thing is the biggest male misfits and losers get to keep on living. Have no idea why this was just reported in the news if it happened years ago.
Yeah, it's awful. And you know, there are awful things happening to women in the American world but hey, they're not Muslim so who cares, right?
I agree, some states in the US are no better and happy to keep women in the 1950s as well as excercising control! It goes on in the western world and people are blinkered to it if they think it doesn't! Even in the US! All religions have an agenda and are controlling in different ways. I live in a state where religion controls legislation and citizens.
Christian Science is another denomination that believes in prayer over science.
There are lots of religions that are crazy not just the muslim faith. Some parts of the Christian faith would rather see them die than receive a blood transfusion, so don't pretend no other religions are adverse to insanity and these are practiced in the western world!
It might be insane according to Western culture but it's not Western culture it's their Middle East culture and we have no right to interfere with the goings on in a foreign country any more than someone from Iran or Turkey has the right to come here and tell us what to do.
We Americans don't have a leg to stand on with this matter, like it or not American history is chock full of violent, religious atrocities just as bad if not worse- making the lady drowning look like a cake walk by comparision to being burned alive at the stake in Salem, or the mass murders by the US Army of hundreds of innocent unarmed women and children as was done to the Native American Indians in the event called "The Sand Creek massacre" lead by a Methodist minister named Chivington.
I'm not saying I agree with this culture but the above poster talks sense.Same way as the US doesn't like those outside the US questioning why they need guns, part of their culture but not of others. True too that other religions are no innocents, even those in the western world
I don't give a **** what their "religion" says. Anybody who'd let their own kid die than be saved because of what some religion says is a POS, period.
And that goes for any religion, including my own (I'm a Christian).
There are Christians that have beliefs meaning they cant allow blood transfusions and let others die including their own children so sorry but this is not correct.
