There's been yet another documented "Honor Killing". Will you still vote for a Muslim for US President?

Here's the story:

Girl Forced to Marry at Nine Murdered After She Sought Annulment

17-year-old Pakistani girl forced to marry a 45-year-old when she was only nine was reportedly killed by her parents, according to the Weekend Australian.

The murder has intensified despair among human rights workers in Pakistan over a recent spate of "honor killings," in which two women and three teenage school girls were buried alive in Baluchistan Province because they wanted to marry the men of their choice.

Saira Nusrat Bibi was successfully fighting a legal battle to have her marriage annulled. As she left court in the Punjabi city of Sahiwal, she was surrounded by a group of men reportedly sent by her parents, and shot in front of police, The Australian reported.

The Baluchistan case was worsened by an attempt by a member of the country's national parliament, Senator Israr Ullah Zehri, to defend it, telling colleagues that "these are centuries-old traditions and I will continue to defend them,” The Australian reports.

Although he claims Christianity as his religion, Sen. Barak Hussein Obama, Jr. is of Muslim descent and may still have strong, favorable leanings with Muslims. I'm starting to see several young women with Obama 08 stickers on their vehicles.

Do you really want this kind of individual for President? I predict that even if he might not practice this heinous ritual, he will be weak towards those who do.

Your thoughts?

    The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

    I think those that keep trying to call Obama a Muslim are weak in the mind. I am sure he is as appalled as I am about hearing about a child that was forced into marriage and then killed. Why do you want to propogate a lie? You are a typical Republican. If you can't find something legitimately wrong to say about a person, just make something up. Not everybody in this country is a Christian, although Obama is. There are Hindu, Buddist and any number of other religions. For your information, Detroit has a higher Muslim population than Pakistan. And also, our fight in the Middle East is not with Muslims, it is with radical extremists that use terror as a tool. Most of the Muslims on earth are just as appalled about that as you are. Many Muslims died in the tragedy of 9/11. Just like any other religion, it has good and bad in it. Look at the harms Christians have done thru the years. The burning times, Spanish inquisition, castrata and any number of horrific events.

    For the 87,000th time: Obama is not a Muslim. There is no such thing as "Muslim descent" because it's a religion, not an ethnic group. Even if he were a Muslim, there is no reason to believe that he would agree with a practice that is considered deviant even inside most of the Islamic world. This is like posting a news story about an abortion clinic bombing and saying "wouldn't this make you think twice about voting for a Christian?"

    The Catholic church had a non-agression pact with Hitler.

    We supply the Israelis with weapons to kill muslims.

    Oh, then there was the inquisition. And the conquistadors.

    Every religion has blood on its hands.

    Matthew Shepard was killed by conservatives.

    The Oklahoma City building - yeah, right wing nutter there too - as well as the Unibomber and Eric Rudolf.

    When was the last time an extreme left-winger in America committed such crime, eh?

    There is so much misinformation in here!

    A) Most Muslims are apalled by "honor killings". They've been carried out by extremists and we all know that extremists exist in every religion and kill in the name of their god in some backwards way of thinking.

    B) Pakistan is not an Arab country

    C) Obama is not Muslim

    You are sooo ignorant.

    FIRST OF ALL, this nonsense of Obama being Muslim. Yeah, his dad at one point was but CONVERTED. He was NEVER a practicing Muslim. I was born Jewish but do not practice it...

    SECOND, you know nothing of Muslim/Middle Eastern culture. The Islamic culture is that of peace. ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISTS are the ones who propagate these HATE killings. NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE BAD AND FULL OF HATE! Islam is the 2nd largest religion in the world.....meaning that A TON of people are Muslim..and they are not all wanting to kill us...

    GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!!!!

    Following that logic, then since some Christians form "Christian Identity" movements that openly hate all non-whites, all gays and lesbians, all immigrants and all people from other religions, atheists, agnostics and non-religious, we should infer that ALL Christians go out there beating "homos," "n-groes" and "sp-cs," right?
