"Honour killings sparked by women talking to a man, having a boyfriend, wearing make-up or revealing clothing..."

From Eric Dondero:

Three young women and an aunt brutally murdered just north of the border, by a man, his wife and their son. They were killed, drowned after their Nissan Sentra was rammed into the cold waters of a well-known Canadian canal in Kingston, a mere 70 minute drive from the U.S. border. The crime happened back in June, and the suspects are now on trial.

Said the father in his defense:

They betrayed Islam. They betrayed our religion. May the devil shit on their graves.

From the Montreal Gazette:

Honour killings can be sparked by a woman talking to a man, having a boyfriend, wearing makeup or revealing clothing, or even seeking a divorce, says Diana Nammi, founder of the London-based International Campaign Against Honour Killings. Nammi, originally from Iran, says children of immigrants who grow up in Western nations take those freedoms for granted, which can lead to conflict with their parents.

You'd think it'd get major national media here in the U.S. Like Natalie Holloway, maybe? After all, it's even closer to home than Aruba. Yahoo News. MSN. NPR. Surely CNN would be all over it. But the U.S. media has completely ignored the story. You see, young Muslim women killed by their own father and brother for violating Sharia Law doesn't quite fit the template for the multi-culturally-obsessed American media outlets.
