What kind of a barbaric religion is this?
Just as bad: BBC News | MIDDLE EAST | Saudi police 'stopped' fire rescue Saudi Arabia's religious police stopped schoolgirls from leaving a blazing building because they were not wearing correct Islamic dress, according to Saudi newspapers.


Quote "The religious police are widely feared in Saudi Arabia. They roam the streets enforcing dress codes and sex segregation, and ensuring prayers are performed on time.

Those who refuse to obey their orders are often beaten and sometimes put in jail."

The scary thing is parts of this country and much of Europe is being overrun by these neanderfkkks who insist on bringing their backward culture with them instead of assimilating themselves to their host countries. They need to go back to the Middle East and stay there, we don't need their sharia laws and oppression of women. The US and EU desperately needs to expel every Muslim but Trump complains about the Mexicans.

In their religion they don't care about the women like that. That's why this father would've had his daughter killed had they rescued her. Honor killings happen quite a bit in their religion.

I'm sure there are other religious groups that have similar rules that can result in death when taken to the extreme. If this story is true, the father should be arrested and prosecuted as an individual for his actions as an individual. But every religious group has individuals that take things too far, that doesn't mean we should eliminate all followers of that religion. Even if everybody was athiest there would still be individuals who take things too far and cause harm.

Punish the individual, not the collective.
There are some really stupid "religious" beliefs in this world.

Islam destroys every civilization it comes in contact with. The Western Far-Left has dislike for the West and has found an ally in Islam. Both the Western Far-Left and Islam have some common goals. Add to that the spineless Western leaders who are too PC to speak the truth.

I am as opened minded as the sky about different religions, cultures, etc. But this is nothing more than stupidity and taking some man made rule to the extreme.
They should have pinned him down, knocked him out cold, whatever and saved the woman.
He is in effect a murderer.
What a stupid religion.

There has been documented cases of girls as young as 8 dieing from internal injuries related to being raped from their so called husbands on their wedding night, some of these children have even reported being held down by their so called husbands mothers while being raped. It is all done in the name of Islam and the rationale used is that the religion doesn't specify an age limit for marriage. In Yemen there was an attempt to change to law raising the age of consent for marriage to 17 it was blocked by an organization called the muslim brotherhood.
Same deal in parts of India and Africa.

No shortage of cultures that treat girls/ women as property to be sold to the highest bidder.
