JAIPUR, India (The Blaze/AP) — File this one under “disturbingly gruesome.” 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.
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.

Like not mentioning race or religion when violence or evil is involved..Had this this family had Jesus/Yeshua..this would not have happened.. That is with any family..The children would not be leading a sinful..self degrading lifestyle..and their family would do them no harm..Jesus/Yeshua came into this world to show us how to live. He did not advocate violence..but love and forgiveness. These Muslims have been lied too..How sad for them that they are born into such a demonic belief system…Lied to for political purposes while their leaders fair well monetarily. They kill their own families and their young men are more than willing to die for false beliefs. It’s all about control.. .In 2001..6 million of them were being converted to Christianity because Jesus was appearing to them in dreams and visions and performing miracles and healings. Iran has many wonderful Christians..One thing to remember is that The 12th Imadi is the Muslim’s Saviour.. while it is the Christian’s antiChrist.

I believe that there are quite possibly Indians whose families originated Hindu or Sihk,,but they are most likely Muslim. This is the profile for a Muslim. Remember that they are being integrated..and the daughters apparently are picking up on Western pagan ways..and this is a difficult adjustment for them..In most Muslim homes there..the killing would most likely have occurred much sooner..THese people need to be introduced to Jesus..That is the Christian commission before the end…for the hearers and doers of YHVH’s word will inherit everlasting life..They deserve to know..This is such a sad way of life for anyone.

Although it is a sad fact that Muslims are disproportionately involved in terrorism and honor violence. And it does no good for them to deny this fact. We live in an age where feelings matter more than facts and people are immunized against such atrocities committed by their social groups.
Muslims shouldn’t expect westerners to understand the dynamics of the Muslim world from Morocco to Bangaldesh to Indonesia. They don’t even understand half the dynamics between such differing people themselves. With that said, you cant fight fire with fire. Its simply unrealistic to fight radical Muslims by defiling their religion.
The vast majority of Muslims have no predilection towards violence and today there is no niche for a moderate Muslim to stand in against radicals. Instead, they have adopted the victimhood mentality and insist you blame “individuals” for acts committed, instead of actually confronting the very real social pressures that truly do force them to commit atrocities against their own families.
For instance when a Muslim woman is raped, she is to be killed by her family or else her brothers and sisters will not be able to be married off. The real question isnt why they killed their sister/daughter it is why doesnt society tell them instead “I wont marry your daughter/son because you DID kill your daughter for being r

In the case of South Asian Muslims they are able to invoke a religious authority from Islam to give them free license to perpetuate an extremely oppressive form of the Hindu culture from long ago.
Just as much as Arab Muslims are oppressive, the Indians, whether Muslim or not seem to be competing with them.
Infanticide is prohibited in Islam, as well as the dowry system which shows that Islam is actually quite progressive compared to their “culture.”
It is not well known but India is perhaps just as vicious and savage in its value of human life with the worst aspects of Islamic tribalist mentalities. Violence against women has reached epic proportions in so many ways from female infanticide to acid attacks to honor killings.

Posted on June 18, 2012 at 11:50amSimplistic argument making a joke about my username and giving the same old “there are no moderate muslims” line.
If you thought Moroccans were moderate you weren’t paying much attention. If thats your argument against moderate Muslims in fact existing it is a very weak one.
You can say the real muslims are the ones who follow the koran and “moderate muslims” are not muslims at all but just calling themselves muslim.
This fails to reflect reality and it will not solve any problems. You dont need to defile Islam to make Muslims see how they should condemn atrocities committed in the name of Islam.
Recently I saw Michael Coren ask Robert Spencer if anyone was outraged at the slaughter of innocent women and children in the name of Islam, Robert Spencer could not think of any… I could.
Osama Bin Laden was actually very troubled by the innocent women and children being murdered in the name of Islam, he believed the young radicalized muslims were going to far. It says alot that Osama Bin Laden would condemn slaughter of innocents before your average modern Muslim would living in the western world.
Your point is nonexistent here. You seem to be venting great frustration. I am not making any excuses for muslims, in fact I am being quite critical of them. I am simply pointing out the fact that you can make Muslims confront the fact that atrocities are being committed in their name without defiling their religion, its not a realistic solution to our problems to

That takes the cake. That was in regards to Zarqari from Jordan who terrorized Iraq. that was in part because he did not want Al Qaeda to get a bad name with Muslims and have them turn against him.
Usama bin Laden who is so concerned about innocents getting slaughtered that he murdered 3,000+ noncombatants in the World trade center. There was a day care center in the Twin Towers. But Usama & his fellow travelers hit it anyway

In practical terms, it was the British who created Pakistan, when in the early 20th century they decided to “divide” so they could “continue to rule,” by creating separate electoral rolls for Muslims. This encouraged the formation of specifically Muslim political parties, especially the Muslim League, which had been captured by “separate state” advocates by 1940. Most Hindu leaders–including Gandhi–were opposed to the partition that accompanied independence in 1947.
