Back in 2010 Moussa Sidime, 74, slapped his daughter to death because she did not finish her chores “properly.” When she was told to do the job right, the father says that he heard her say something disrespectful. So he slapped her in the face twice and then once on the buttocks. He hit her hard enough across the face to cause an artery in her head to rupture and she died in the hospital two days later.

Pakistani immigrant Noor Hussain, 75, got so angry that his wife didn’t make him goat for dinner that he beat her to death with a stick.

Defense attorney Julie Clark admitted Hussain beat his wife — but argued that he is guilty of only manslaughter because he didn’t intend to kill her. In Pakistan, Clark said, beating one’s wife is customary.
“He comes from a culture where he thinks this is appropriate conduct, where he can hit his wife,” Clark said in her opening statements at the Brooklyn Supreme Court bench trial. “He culturally believed he had the right to hit his wife and discipline his wife.”

What kind of person can murder one of their own family members? Seriously, the psychological state of these people really disturbs me. It's not like it is just a few crazy people here and there. The article makes it clear that it happens quite often. Once is too often if you ask me.

You do realize that Jews, Christians and Muslims pray to the SAME god and believe in the same angels; prophets; and key personas? For instance, the Virgin Mary is revered throughout the Quran and is mentioned more in that book than she is in the Bible. Despite myself being raised in a Christian home, I was blessed to have parents who showed me the mystical side of ALL religious teachings (not to mistake allegory for historical or cosmological facts). This allowed me to realize how ignorant "some" of my fellow Christians can be towards their little brother named Islam. Judaism is the big brother, Christianity is the middle brother and Islam is the youngest.
I believe the horrendous acts that take place in Islamic countries such as Pakistan are caused more by cultural influences due to the masses who blindly have been indoctrinated over many generations towards distorted truths about Islam. These misconceptions are used to influence the culture of that society to mould the agenda for those who rule. Basically, the same thing that to Roman Catholic Church followers have done over the centuries.
You stated that one shouldn't judge and I totally agree! Especially if one is ignorant to the fact that Judaism, Christianity and Islam are essentially the same BEAST....

So what do you think, is it Islam? Is it as some have suggested their culture, or way of life? It seems to me that it is rooted in their religion.
May 27, 2014 (Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - As Russia and China signed a historic 30 year, 400 billion dollar natural gas contract, a deadly terror attack carried out in China's northwest province of Xinjiang killed over 30 people and wounded many more. The Wall Street Journal in their report, "Attack at Market Kills Dozens in China's Xinjiang," stated:
Violence again rocked the capital of China's restive Xinjiang region, as explosives thrown from vehicles ripped through a street market, killing 31 people and injuring more than 90, Chinese state media reported
US Backing of Separatists Invokes Suspicion Over Timing of Attack
The timing of the attacks appears to be on cue to disrupt the political shockwave sent across the globe as Russia and China initiated a game-changing energy partnership interpreted by many as a direct and significant counterstroke to US ambitions both in Eastern Europe and the Asia Pacific. Adding to suspicions is the fact that the US contributes significant support for separatist groups in Xinjiang province that vocally advocate the establishment of an autonomous East Turkistan state.
Indeed, first and foremost in backing the Xinjiang Uyghur separatists is the United States through the US State Department’s National Endowment for Democracy (NED). For China, the Western region referred to as “Xinjiang/East Turkistan” has its own webpage on NED’s site covering the various fronts funded by the US
The attacks aimed at diminishing the immediate political fallout for the West regarding the Russian-Chinese natural gas deal are also to remind the world that it will not move out from beneath Wall Street, London, and Brussel's unipolar hegemonic international order without a fight.
Nobody asked for a global society and by ''our duty'' do you mean the both of us or just Americans? Because Americans have no right to dictate other cultures how to live,. And no, what you said is just opinion.

thats opinion. Just who decides who gets what rights? If malaysia decides to execute people for marijuana possession, can you judge them by the standards of a country where marijuana is completely legal. This thread is another example of people telling others how to deal with domestic issues.
But it does not give the other cultures the right to murder people because of such things either
It is an opinion based in fact.
As a global society it is our duty to stand up and fight for those without a voice so that they can have the same chance to live in peace and without fear in their home nations.

I disagree, there is no way to rationalize this. She should have quietly snuck out in the night and left her insane culture in its literal dust.
emotional banter....doesn't address a single point. Funny how americans dont care about civilian deaths (including that of pregnant women) they caused in pakistan....but make a scene when they find the right opportunity.

What you're doing is supporting this heinous crime against humanity and you should be utterly ashamed of yourself.
