In Islam, women are second-class citizens. A woman's testimony in court is half of that to a man.

Muhammad himself had 11 wives at any given time, a 9 year old child bride, married his own step son's wife, and countless sex slaves that he seized through violent jihad.

The Muslim father who stopped the rescuers from saving his daughter was only following Islamic Sharia Law.

Being an Infidel woman is the worst, as that is the lowest rung in Islam, and they consider Infidel women as 'easy meat'.

"Muslim father lets daughter drown rather than be touched by male lifeguard."

Does the lifeguard get cooties too, or is it just the females?

Default Culture vs Islam

Unfortunately for this young woman her father never learned that the preservation of life is more important than "honor." Everyday some muslims confuse their culturally teachings with Islamic teachings and then things like this happen. Let's not get this twisted. She died because of her fathers culture, his ignorance, not because of anything taught by Islam.

Nope. Read the book, my friend. It's called The Koran.

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.

Thank you for this. I was thinking the same thing but just couldn't put it into words.

There are Muslims from other cultures that would do anything to save their children from a tragedy like this. I think, with all religions, it's a combination of cultural background, how you interpret your holy scriptures and the society within which you live.

I still don't get how he had the mental capacity to stand and fight with lifeguards while his own CHILD, a person that he helped create, was dying right in front of him. **** parent.

Women are routinely allowed to die instead of being rescued.

It seems these said the same thing I said.

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).

Really? What is wrong with people? I couldn't even imagine...

Islam in General is very harsh towards women. Not all who follow Islam is like this, but it certainly is prevalent. Is just awful! How could you watch you daughter die like that and do nothing?

Why didn't he try to save her himself then??

I don't hate Islamic people. Most are not extremists, they just follow another religion.

What I have zero tolerance for are legalistic fundamentalists of any stripe.
This man is a bad parent - but so are the Duggars.
