The study reveals the case of Saamiya, a 16-year-old girl from Birmingham, whose parents were so angry when they discovered she had a boyfriend that they flew her to Pakistan and told her they had arranged a marriage two hours before the ceremony.

"During the Islamic ceremony my dad was standing behind me with one hand on my shoulder and with his other hand he had a gun which was pointed at my back so that I didn't say 'no'," Saamiya said.

"To everyone else it looked natural — he was just standing there stroking my shoulder — but just before he had told me that he would shoot me if I didn't go through with it."

Not the same intent as a US-style shotgun wedding. A man holding a gun to his own daughter and she believing he would kill her. Another example of a group of people who are animals. When are the rest of the Muslims going to condemn this kind of behavior? When is Islam going to go through a reformation? Inquiring minds want to know!
