The title of your thread made me think the guy just fleet one day to cut his daughter's throat. At first I thought he was just insane.

This is just stupid. How can a parent kill their child for doing something like this?? It is not like the gril killed someone. Just stupid and dumb.

One wonders why he came to Britain in the first place if he didn't want his family to be 'westernized', surely an Arab country would have been a better choice for him.

This has always puzzled me. If you dno't want your children to become Americans, then why did you move them to America?

Jackass comes to mind.

You serious?

How is it "moral" to worry about the innocence or guilt of a capital defendant, while not concerning yourself equally with the guilt or innocence of a non-capital defendant nevertheless sentenced to die behind bars, just a bit more slowly?

I happen to be in favor of the death penalty in rare situations, but this is a specious argument. If you're worried about innocence/guilt, then putting somebody in prison for life gives more time to make sure that was the correct decision. If somebody confesses to the crime a year after somebody was executed for it, all the State can say is "Oops." If they put them in jail for life, they would at least be able to give them the rest of their life back.

Now, if the truth is found out a hundred years later? Sure, they were both death sentences. But the "ten years later" case is more relevant for what people are worried about.

I don't mind increased immigration, but scum who behave like this should be put in a box and sent as volunteers to the uranium mines in Xinjiang, China.

That pretty much amounts to a death penalty, though.

Chegitz...

I don't understand what you're getting at. You go to live in America if you want to become an American, right? Therefore why wouldn't you want your children to grow up as Americans?

This has nothing to do with each other. People know and count on continuing their (flawed) lifestyle over in the US. They don't think their kids will become americanized. Fact is, most kids don't.

That's what I'm trying to get at. For example, Greeks get upset that their children aren't good Greek children, but normal American kids instead. Same with Arabs and Indians I've dealt with. A girl was killed by her Muslim father here (USA) a couple years back because she was 'uncontrollable,' basically for the same non-reason this man the thread is about did.

If you want to raise Greek kids, stay in Greece. If you bring them here, they're gonna be Americans and want to be Americans.

Actually, most do. It's the same old immigrant experience that's been going on for hundreds of years here, only some groups seem to think it won't happen to them, or that it shouldn't happen to them. America is very seductive.
