A Muslim Dr. Kills his wife.

[Joseph]

A Muslim Dr. Kill his wife, no big deal right, however he lived in Australia.
The Muslim Doctor kill his wife because their daughter became a Christian, and in the Muslim world, it is the wife fault if one or more of their children leave the Muslim fate.
Will he get life or dead?

[SlowwHand]

What's Aussie law? It's premeditated murder.

[Winston]

Another variant of the well-established concept of "honour"-killing, usually seen when daughters marry against the family's wishes.

This guy must've felt rather offended, which apparently is far from the ideal state for any Muslim..

To bad the aussies don't do hangings any more. This guy would be a prime candidate.

[MRT144]

he also aparently yelled out something about "linux being the one true way of OSes" while carrying out the murder.

[Tingkai]

Why does the fact that the doctor lived in Australia make this a big deal?

Muslims leaders in Australia have denounced the alleged murder and disputed the concept of killing for conversion: "If someone wishes to leave Islam there's nothing you can do because it is their choice," Brisbane-based Imam Husain said.

"If a child asks to turn Christian it would affect the family but they don't have the right to hate or abuse them. If that is their decision you have to respect it. Islam doesn't say you must become violent."

(Yeah, the guy has not been to Afghanistan lately, but even there, they talk about killing the people who convert, not the parents.

Finally, we do not know if it was premeditated murder, or even if it was murder. The man is alleged to have killed his wife during an argument.

It's a story for the same reason that a witch burning in some small town would be. It is out of step with what we expect in our societies.

[Tingkai]

It's an alleged murder during a domestic argument. Happens all the time, and the reasons for such arguments are typically insane.

It's sad, but it's not news.

[notyoueither]

Public information does not have to conform to the same standards as criminal courts.

And there is an alledgedly dead person. One can wonder why that person is alledegedly dead, or if they will rise again like Lazerus.

Killing converts isn't just a social tradition. It is explicitly ordered in the Koran. Just another reason why Islam is evil and unreformable.

[notyoueither]

You seem to be saying that any Muslim would have to do the same, Oerdin.

[Dinner]

I'm saying that in the Koran muslims are ordered to kill people who leave the faith unless they convert back.

[Barnabas]

Everybody agrees it is ordered to kill apostates, moderate muslims who dislike that, dont say it is not ordered, but that it was special circumstances, and that it should only happen during special circumstances, like war agaisnt muslims, in which converting from islam to another religion could be seen as treason.

And by the bible Boris would be under six feet of rocks.

There is a difference between literal adherence and how one lives his or her life.

Social tradition is more than half the case, and most Muslims no more live that life than most Christians do.

Actually no boris wouldn't. The New Testiment replaced the Old Testiment including the various rules about not eating certain things or killing people for not doing (or doing) other things.

Jesus's teachings are what is gospel to a Christian not old testiment Jewish cannon.
