3. Looks like ...
Jules   (10.23.13)
... the world is gradually waking up, and the TRUE culprits, guilty of enormous human rights violations, will be ultimately taken care of.

5. # 2Tiki, The UN Human Rights ARE the majority members of the
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (10.23.13)
and are the same Islamic nations that hold the majority of votes in the UN, they are busy as they usually reserve the exclusive right to only use their public hammer for he Israeli Jews for 'occupation' of Israel's own land, all this as the combined Muslims remain silent about their official 'death sentence for being born a Muslim female.' There is no other 'society' who abuses their women more than do the Muslims. A terribly sad fact of females born into this prison their fathers, brothers, Grandfathers, uncles, cousins religious leaders, etc. have made for them, and their religious beliefs that this is the will of their g-d. Meanwhile we know of one dead girl an 8 year old raped to legal death, and this of another girl whose father ritually slew her as one would a sheep. G-D BLESS ISRAEL !!!
6. This has nothing to do with Islam
Holy Warrior ,   UK   (10.23.13)
It is a messed up tribal culture which is condemned by Islam. When a Jew kills his children and partner, which has happened on numerous occasions, we don't say this is barbaric Jewish mentality..
7. @2because the story has no zionists/jews involved.....
er der   (10.23.13)
8. As said before..
Beary White ,   Norway   (10.23.13)
Beeing a baby girl born into an Islamic family, is the start and end of a painful, dangerous road of life, that even even can result in dead by use of acid, balcony-throw, rape by family, beaten or burned. It is the peaceful religion to the Islamic cult...
9. #2
(10.23.13)
The UN is preparing a condemnation of Israel. What you should be asking is why Netanyahu and Livni want to give these people control of Israeli land.
10. #6 if this happened once in one area Id say your right; but
hipocrates ,   earth   (10.23.13)
it is COMMONPLACE in virutally all Islamic countries where religion is stronger than secularism. Honor abusues and killings are everywhere. Get your head out of the sand, no pun intended (really).
11. All the women wishing to convert to
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (10.23.13)
islam,that's what's awaiting you,death by burning.
12. Number 6. It's elementary . . .
Dr Watson ,   London England   (10.23.13)
Honour killing of daughters who 'bring dishonour' to their families goes on wherever there are large Muslim communities. The concept that fathers and brothers have the right to murder daughters and sisters does not exist in the Judaeo-Christian tradition.
13. No effect on those without morals
Jacob E ,   Holon, Israel   (10.23.13)
You can't tell people that they are doing something wrong if they don't think it is wrong to begin with. It's like yelling at a cat for eating your dinner. It will just stare at you, lick its butt and walk away. It couldn't care less that what it did outrages you. That's why people prefer to critisize Israel than any of our neighbors. You can expect a response if we are accused of doing something wrong, while if you accuse Syria or Egypt or Iran of human rights violations they will just look at you, shrug and walk away.
14. Who knows where it will lead?
Yusef ,   London England   (10.23.13)
Once you let your daughter speak to her fiance prior to the wedding, who what where it will lead? What if she discovers he's a geek or a nerd? What if he finds out what's under her heavy veil -- yuk, acne! You get what you pay for, but what if she's the best he cvan afford?
15. What if she found out . . .
Fatima ,   London England   (10.23.13)
What if this 15 year old girl found out before the wedding that her fiance was 75 years old, but very rich? She would face a dilemma.
16. Reply to number 2: UN Rights and Wrongs
Danny ,   London UK   (10.23.13)
The UN includes 54 Islamic countries and one Jewish country. This makes it easier to get support for criticising Israel.
17. to: Holy Warrior
diana ,   buenos aires, argent   (10.23.13)
When a Jew kills his children or/and partner , he/she goes to JAIL.........
18. Holy Warrior UK # 6
Arnold ,   Montreal-Canadaa   (10.23.13)
You say that Jewish men kill their children on "numerous occasions" Well I want to tell you that I read many newspapers daily and I have yet to count to five over the past 10 years how many Jewish fathers , mothers, or siblings have killed their daughters/sisters for any indiscretions. They might have been ostracized from the family but murder is far from that. On the other hand I have read dozens and dozens of reports of Muslim family members that murder women in their family circle for any indiscretions that would bring shame to the family. Do not lie. Do not make up stories about Jews because you have a bias against them.
19. #6 Holy Warrior you are so right
Cindy Pane ,   Mannhattan, NY   (10.23.13)
About a month ago a Jewish man threw his 2 kids off a 6 story building,, now that's barbaric .
20. As soon as Turkey joins the EU
Alexander Scheiner ,   Jewish State Israel   (10.23.13)
this will be common practice in Europe. Because muslim in Europe insist that their laws (Sharia, Koran, Hadith) are valid for them and possibly also for legal courts. rememberamalek.blogspot
21. Cindy # 19
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (10.23.13)
When is the last time a Jew rioted and killed over teddy bears and cartoons? You need to lift the veil and see the face of Islam.
22. #2 UN "human rights" outrage won't happen
Carl ,   USA   (10.23.13)
Sadly, the worst barbarians run the UN's so-called human rights organization. They don't see females as human and fully condone the "right" of males to treat them in accordance with Islamic traditions.
23. 2. UN human rights organisations are otherwise engaged.
Gabriel ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (10.23.13)
It seems ''Zwarte Piet'' will shortly be out of a job....or so they want to make sure Once again, I just love how the UN sets its priorities.
24. #6 Pane
Lazerbenabba ,   London, England   (10.23.13)
Even stupidity does not excuse your ignorance. Yes a Jewish man did as you mentioned but that obscene tragic incident was thankfully an aberration and an isolated incident, whereas the many and frequent mutilations and killings of extremely young girls is sanctioned by the majority of the Yemini rural population and even those of the so called urban elite; anything to preserve the sanctity of perceived honour. May I suggest that you stop somersaulting your semantics to justify any aspect that appears to appease your dislike of Jews.
25. To #6 Holy Warrior from UK
Marucho ,   Bs.As. Argentina   (10.23.13)
Holy warrior, please remind me this: Doesn´t the Quran say that Muhammad married a 9 year-old-girl? So, how´s that about Islam prohibitting those cultural-tribal-barbaric medieval customs?
26. Those medieval burkas scare the heck out of me.
Yanky Pipchick ,   Baltimore   (10.23.13)
Backward costumes they are. Scary looking. Not fir for our society.
27. #24 Lazerbenabba
Cindy Pane ,   Mannahttan, NY   (10.23.13)
Oh I love Jewish peoples, that is,,, "Real Jews", better still why don't Israel and Iran just leave these peoples alone with all this subterfuge, we do know Israel and Iran are one and the same,,, 2 non-Semites, one Indo-Aryan the Iranians and the other Ashkhenazi Caucasians, the new Israelis, so-called Jews(no pun), both holding the world hostage. As for barbarisim,, so-called Jew settler kids will set a church on fire, curse Jesus, pull up, kill, destroy anything that looks like an "Olive Branch",,,,,,,,,, TaTa.
28. Be a man & look at Islam as it truly is, #6
Cameron ,   USA   (10.23.13)
The inherent darkness & barbarism of your medieval creed are on full display for all to observe. The uglier aspects of it can no longer be hidden, rationalized, or ignored, try as you may. We see the primitive and irrational nature of it....it's on full display.
29. #6 is perfectly right, that's tribal stuff!
Ibrahim Sued ,   Rio de Janeiro   (10.23.13)
30. Islam is of tribal origin, #29
Cameron ,   USA   (10.23.13)
The original tribal mindset & psyche are maintained and encouraged, generation to generation, century to century. The daughter being offed was simply the pure traditional nature of Islam rising to the fore. The infidel is disgusted, but hardly surprised getting word of such a Muslim moment. Shrug and murmur Inshallah, right?
