Not a cult. Nope.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Very interesting story.

"Why did she accept what happened to her?" Qaoud asks. "Even a wife can tell her husband 'no.' "

Tell that to Juanita.

[blastdad51]

What a nice culture.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Note the blame Israel points:

Poverty and war have exacerbated the problem, says Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, a social work and criminology professor at Hebrew University in Jerusalem and an expert on violence against women.

"Men do not have any power except over women," she says.

The police said they couldn't get to the Qaoud home because of Israeli checkpoints.

Raped by her brothers ... and she's the one who has to die!

Of course, with her dead, there's no one to testify against the brothers, so they're sprung.

So much for Moslem family values.

[af_vet_1981]

The sins and crimes of the mother bring more worst shame and dishonor to the palestinians than any sins of the brothers. That poor girl ...

[af_vet_1981]

So much for Moslem family values.

Palestinian family values center on their own children and Jews. They cannot be trusted with self rule and no one wants to rule them because they are so evil.

[Lijahsbubbe]

The details of how she murdered her daughter are horrid. How could a mother do this?

According to this article, this is happening almost weekly to Palestinian women, where is Koffi, where were Rachel Corrie and the human shields for Yasser. Why did they not surround this woman to protect her?

How can these people cry and scream and flail when terrorists are killed by the IDF, when they murder their own daughters, and send their sons off to blow themselves up?

[Lijahsbubbe]

My mother did this because she does not want us to be punished by people,"

"I'll kill you so you don't get punished, dear......."

Is it any wonder they're warped? This little girl is an up and coming suicide bomber.

[pabianice]

Arab culture bump.

[CedarDave]

Another victim of the religion of peace.

[Alouette]

Rape victims must be executed, while mass murderers of Jews are treated as heroes.

These savages are just so deserving of their own state.

[Tacis]

Is there a category in the competition for a collective Darwin Award?

[af_vet_1981]

They are a harsh and forbidding landscape, filled with scorpions, carrion, and a few brief blooming flowers.

[Lijahsbubbe]

I think they would better fit into a category of evil.

[TheSpottedOwl]

But the number of killings is likely higher, given that Palestinian police investigate only crimes that have been reported, said Yousef Tarifi, the Ramallah prosecutor assigned to Qaoud's case. Shalhoub-Kevorkian says her past research showed the likely number to be 15 times higher than the number of reported cases.

Just unbelievable. These stories keep coming out, and the shock over this behavior never lessens for me. These folks are just plain sick.

[Desron13]

Islam. Cult of death.

"She did what she believes any good Palestinian parent would"

These people are beyond help. I hate to say it, but, I don't think there will ever be a Palestinian state. You can't expect lunatics to behave rationally.

When a majority of the Pali's place absolutely NO value on human life, not even the lives of their own children, the situation is hopeless. The Israeli's should expel them and be done with it. Let Jordan take them , or some other Arab country, there is zero chance of them living side by side with Israel, in my opinion.
