Those Crazy Afghanies

Give them a break. Who do the Canadians think they are to judge their culture.

A Canadian jury on Sunday found three members of an Afghan family guilty of killing three teenage sisters and another woman in what the judge described as "cold-blooded, shameful murders" resulting from a "twisted concept of honor."

The three defendants maintained their innocence in the killings of sisters Zainab, 19, Sahar 17, and Geeti, 13, as well as Rona Amir Mohammad, 52, Shafia's childless first wife who lived with the family in a polygamous marriage.

Prosecutors said the defendants allegedly killed the three sisters because they dishonored the family by defying its disciplinarian rules on dress, dating, socializing and using the Internet.

During the trial, the prosecution presented wire taps and mobile phone records from the Shafia family in court to support their honor killing allegation. The wiretaps, which capture Shafia spewing vitriol about his dead daughters, calling them treacherous and whores and invoking the devil to defecate on their graves, were a focal point of the trial.

"There can be no betrayal, no treachery, no violation more than this," Shafia said on one recording. "Even if they hoist me up onto the gallows ... nothing is more dear to me than my honor."



...sorry, i think murder is about the worst violation. and his own daughters! nothing more dear to him? way to prioritize.
