The way I see it she was killed because she didn't fit in with the family. Is the term "Honour" being used
to hide racism?

Anyone like to guess the headline were the conflict reversed?

Just to make it clear, I hate all forms of racism, I hate it even more when, IMHO, it's sheltering behind a "P.C." term!!!

I don't disagree but my point remains. WHy teh need to attatch a label to it?
AN honour killing, a racially motivated killing, a motiveless killing, a road-rage killing. A murder is a murder.

So why was this deemed in the "Honour" category when it was clearly racially motivated?

We IMHO are fed this "Honour" claptrap by the media to prevent racist retaliation escalating !!

But 'honour' describes the reason why the killing took place.
She wasn't just some random white girl in the street who got killed. She got 'romantically' involved with an Asian family and 'shamed' them (because they are racist).
Ultimately they killed her out of shame, which is by definition an honour killing.

So do I take it, in these politically correct days, it should be called a "Racist Honour killing" ?

Personally I think there's no honour in killing anybody, dealing with problems in an amicable manner is surely more honourable. But then I'm not bound by
some 6th century fable...

Most people whose girlfriends cheat on them don't go around murdering them in the name of 'honour'.

I imagine the thought has crossed their mind.

Errr no...

It's OK though, justice has been done. The first scum, who fathered the kid then didn't want anything to do with it and later discussed getting hold of a gun to do in the mother, has escaped without punishment. The guy who smashed the girl's head to pulp with a hammer has been jailed for 17 years. Even taking this as a minimum sentence (yeah right), he'll be out before he's 37, which will give him plenty of time to kill a few more girls for his 'honour'.

Or do it without bringing shame on the family by marrying a breeder imported specially from Lahore...

Spot on. It appears in this day and age you can't be racist if you're ethnic 'minority'.

This story really pissed me off at the time... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2070562/Mu...

How much is exagerated by the Fail is questionable but the CCTV footage is disgusting and what would have happened if it was the other way around?

Sorry, but I would not have held back. I would have kicked the total and utter fk out of these bhes.

We appear to have thousands of Somalis living here, do we owe them as living as well? In Northampton none of them appear to be in gainful employment but instead
spend their days chewing Khat and setting up "Somali community centres". Maybe we should argue that cannabis is a "Cultural" high of choice for English whites...
