Satvir Singh really sums it well: "This was a murder of morality."

trying to wrap my head around this one-lets see: Nobody would drink water in Sunita's mother's house because of the dishonour of their daughter falling in love, but now villagers will drink water in her house because five men strangled her daughter....

“Five armed men burst into the small room and courtyard at dawn, just as 21-year-old, 22-week pregnant, Sunita was drying her face on a towel.

They punched and kicked her stomach as she called out for her sleeping boyfriend “Jassa”, 22-year-old Jasbir Singh, witnesses said. When he woke, both were dragged into waiting cars, driven away and strangled.

Their bodies, half-stripped, were laid out on the dirt outside Sunita’s father’s house for all to see, a sign that the family’s “honor” had been restored by her cold-blooded murder. “

Then they reported to their jobs as Dell tech support specialists.

Barbara Streisand...where is your outrage? Madonna...to the scene...quickly, Rosie O....Ophrah, why don’t these women show outrage with stuff like this, it’s only news if it happens in America.

Nobody would drink water in Sunita's mother's house

I'd piss in it.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Was this a Hindu honor killing?

[Edgar3]

I’ll bet they have a nice call center in town to help get Obamalamadingdong elected!

[Prole]

Were the murderers followers of ISLAM by any chance?

I find that NO WHERE in the freaking article.

This PC whitewash of all things ISLAM is such a freaking outrage.

Thank goodness we can discuss things on these forums, because the democrats (both in political power and the media) would never allow important news stories to circulate otherwise.

[old-and-old]

these are the rules they set and once the black sheep has been killed everything is back to normal. .

[BossLady]

Amazing isn't it???? This is the same kind of nutjob reasoning like the South African 'Virgin Cure' where the HIV positive men rape young girls and infants to cure/prevent the disease.

On days like this....I wonder what is to become of the human race.....

[Red Badger]

Nor do politicians ever renounce the practice, Alam added, because if they did, "they would not win elections".

Politicians are the same all over the globe.......

[Tired of Taxes]

Now, now, let’s not be intolerant here. It’s just a cultural difference. Maybe we just don’t understand the people in this village. We must embrace all cultures equally.

[Vigilanteman]

The surname Singh normally designates a Sihk, not a ROPer. I’m wondering if they are ROP converts because I did not think this kind of barbarism was condoned by the Sihks.

[Frank_2001]

I doubt Islam was involved. “Singh” is a Sikh name, and the caste system is only followed by Hindus.

[YOUGOTIT]

These devil Gobs are the slaves of Satan and this is what the left wants to turn our nation into. Hell they might even be Satan himself in human drag. But they are NOT men but pieces of crap.

[Prole]

I see this whitewashed article comes from the scumbags at Al-Reuters.

From Reuters' photographic "reporting" in the Middle East:

Thats correct, this is a Hindu honor killing.

Honor killings are not limited to Muslims.

There was a notorious case earlier this year about a Kurdish Yazidi honor killing.

[Red Badger]

it is taboo for a man and woman of the same village to marry.

I'd move........

[brityank]

Then they reported to their jobs as Dell tech support specialists.

Or IBM.
Or Vangard.
Or MediTrans.
Or the IRS.
    ad nauseum

[buwaya]

“Singh” is a common Sikh name, but not exclusively.

I believe this village is Hindu.
