The Religion of Peace

A heartwarming story of fatherly love brought to you by Islam -- the Religion of Peace. From CBC/World News: bq. Egyptian father angry at having no sons stabs his seven daughters, killing 4 A man angry with fathering no sons stabbed four of his seven daughters to death as they slept and seriously wounded the other three, police said Monday. bq. Abdel Nasser Ibrahim, 47, a muezzin, or mosque prayer caller, in the Sohag provincial town of Tima, 345 kilometres south of Cairo, repeatedly stabbed his seven sleeping daughters with two knives in a rampage that lasted several minutes, a police official said on condition of anonymity. bq. Killed were Samar, 15; Isra, 10; Fatima, 8; and Zeinab, 7. The screams of the three wounded daughters alerted neighbours to the pre-dawn crime and they later contacted police. bq. Ibrahim's wife of 18 years left the house before the killings to go and stay with her parents following an argument she had with her husband over failing to give birth to a son, the official told The Associated Press. And more: bq. Police also quoted neighbours as saying Ibrahim had not allowed his girls to attend school. bq. Southern Egypt is the most conservative part of Egypt, where education for girls has only recently been improving because of a government campaign. Nice place to live -- where are all of the hip left-leaning multi-culti's when they hear about stuff like this. I thought they were supposed to be feminists as well as apologists for terror regimes.
