.Indian man beheads daughter in rage over lifestyle

By PRAKASH BHANDARI | Associated Press – 6 hrs ago. 18 June 2012 ......

JAIPUR, India (AP) — Police say a man upset over his daughter's lifestyle chopped her head off with a sword and then paraded it through his village before surrendering to authorities in western India.

How can anyone do this to heir own child?

Marble miner Ogad Singh's 20-year-old daughter had been living with her parents in the Rajasthani village of Dungarji after leaving her husband two years ago.

Police Superintendent Umesh Ojha says Singh was upset by his daughter having affairs with men, and became enraged when she eloped with one of them two weeks ago.

Ojha says Singh forced her to return home Sunday, and beheaded her Monday with a sword.

Rapidly modernizing India faces increasing social clashes as youths resist traditions like arranged marriage or limits on women venturing outside their parents' or husbands' homes.

I am sick of these happenings in the world. We have too many of these so-called 'honour killings' here in the UK too.

"Singh" is usually a Sikh name, but regardless of faith - those rural backwoods areas in India, like much of the Asia and the Middle East are barbaric when it comes to women. Some still practice Sati

I would agree but these word don't come close to describe the horror of this affair that for honor one can kill brutally their own child. To even use the word honor is stupid, as this is where close to any honor.

The truth is this world with as many problems it has, would be better off if..

I will leave it alone as my heart would be in line with my thoughts and my salvation at risk.

Just for thinking it I need to relax and pray for forgiveness. Right now.

We know how strongly you feel about it lurpy.

Please don't feel guilty about feeling as strongly against this atrocity as you do. Every person feels the same when hearing about these murders.

God knows you are a good man and considerate of others. Don't worry. He knows your thoughts on this disgusting matter and will forgive your thoughts.

And the even more tragic part (if that is possible) is that those who commit these acts of barbarism actually believe that they are acting in accordance with a Higher Authority, who (supposedly) wants them to murder their Westernized children...

How the hell can a religion of peace have a thought process of killing your daughter? I don't get it.

As the well-known atheist, Sam Harris, has noted, there is a "religion of peace."

It is just not Islam.

It is Jainism.

As he has further noted, the core problem is not religious "fundamentalism." A fundamentalist Jain, or Buddhist, or Quaker, or Amish, would not likely participate in the horror of 9/11. In fact, such an action would be utterly inexplicable. It would be antithetical to these religions, in any of their manifestations.
