Dave is right that this does not reflect all Muslims but had a Christian father killed his daughter, the Christian community would have been outraged. On the Muslim side we here NOTHING. This is disturbing. What troubles me about this case is the lack of outcry from the Muslim community.

The difference is that, in the latter case, the evil behavior is perpetrated by specific individuals for their own bad motives, contrary to what is mandated by their society. Nothing in Christianity mandates or condones the behavior of either of the women that you described. Furthermore, just because the first woman may have claimed to be a Christian doesn't mean she actually was one. All religions have their hypocrites and phonies, not to mention persons who are mentally unbalanced and/or who lack self-control.

Keep in mind this is a single instance of a crime. Compare it with the video that pops up now and again of a stalker abducting a young woman who is later found dead. Aqsa Parvez’s death is NOT a normal “islamic event.” I remember a kid in 1st grade whose Christian mother forced him to kneel in rock salt when he was bad until his knees bled. When he was 12 she beat him so badly he lost hearing in one ear. Parents are sometimes overprotective, sometimes STUPID, like the woman who created the phony MySpace page that led to the suicide of Megan Meier. But that’s another story… http://dave-lucas.blogspot.com/2007/12/double-life-of-aqsa-parvez.html Islam did NOT kill this girl, no more than Christianity killed Megan Meier!
