Religion? Religion did not kill her own daughter, the father did!

NO! I am not an atheist. I dont believe in God, but not in religion.

Religion is all about compassion, as long as you believe exactly what I believe.
Dang people..
Religion is the best example of Darwinism. All the religions are going to kill each other leaving us good atheists to live in peace - finally.
"The Christian god can easily be pictured as virtually the same god as the many ancient gods of past civilizations. The Christian god is a three headed monster; cruel, vengeful and capricious. If one wishes to know more of this raging, three headed beast-like god, one only needs to look at the caliber of people who say they serve him. They are always of two classes: fools and hypocrites."

+1 I agree with it we should have been able to protect this girl.
It is sad what some people do in the name of religion. Would this be a hate crime on top of the other charges. Last I checked beating someone to death or near death because of what they believe is a hate crime. I hope he doesn't receive any support and is denounced by other Muslims for his actions but sadly they never seem to speak out against extremeism just when people print cartoons.
Religion most likely taught this father where his priorities are and what must be done in order to comply with these priorities. If this person was an atheist, do you think he would have killed his daughter for wearing clothing he didn't like? Doubt it very much.
I once saw a good quote, though not sure where it is from.
"Good people do good things
Bad people do bad things
Only religion can consistently make good people to bad things"

The father killed her because of religion and in the name of religion or her refusal to go along with It. Its kinda like the argument "guns don't kill people... people kill people" Maybe we should have soem PSA's on the dangers of Religion. lol
What religion are you guys talking about that teaches a father to kill their children?
Rest in Peace AP.
And why did Dad decide to do this?

Only the father knows and maybe the brother.
My guess, the father and child had differing beliefs and upbringing.
This was the fathers method of complience-threats and abuse....simple domestic violence.
Ahh, what do I know.
"School chums say Aqsa had been arguing with her family for months over whether she should wear the hijab.... and other friends said Aqsa still wore the hijab to school last year, but rebelled against dressing in it this fall. "
Sounds like simple domestic violence to me. Wear your religious clothing or I'll kill you. And yes, it seems the father and child had different beliefs. Beliefs being the key word.

Nobody has a right to take another persons life for having a different belief. I dont know of any religion that condones murder.
You do know that the two biggest mass murderers in history were atheists, right?
Mao Zedong - 77 million killed
Joseph Stalin - 60 million purged
For comparison: Hitler - 21 million killed, and there's debate on whether he was an atheist, or simply agnostic.
Not to mention Jeffery Dahmer, but he was pretty small time compared to the three above.
/Sorry... Didn't mean to Godwin this discussion.

Read the bible lately or the koran? They both condone many nasty things.
exodus 32 - 27 Then he said to them, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.' "
There's a million more just like it..

These dudes disagree:
your interpretation of your religion may not tell you to do that, but that is the biggest problem now isn't it, it all comes down to interpretation

Yes I know of those. I never stated being an atheist makes you good, just the opposite, being atheist doesn't make you bad or without morals.
Hitler is very debatable, some believe to be very Catholic (he did have backing from the Church in the beginning which I believe Pope JP II finally aplogized for, though I could be mistaken). However, those people being atheists does not disprove the horrors that religions have created throughout the world and the intollerances they create.
The catholic church is the single largest killer in all of human history. Their evils are well documented. They tried to destroy everything that didn't agree with them, all people, society, thoughts, ideas and books. People really need to learn about the history of the religions and not just read the 'holy books' associated with them.
Here are some good reads:
The God Delusion
god is not great
The Jesus Papers
THe Lost Gospel of Judas Iscariot
The Pagan Christ - This one is by an Anglican Minsiter and describes the hisotry of the chruch quite nicely.
All for now...
