- exgop, on 12/12/2007, -132/+637Don't ya just love the peaceful tolerant religion of Islam.
- Sandy1000, on 12/12/2007, -92/+361This is where some kool-aid drinking Muslim apologetic walks onto stage to remind us once again about how... "Islam is a religion of peace" right?
- disposable7739, on 12/12/2007, -45/+291Muslims who raise their children in Western society should not be surprised when their children reject Islam. If Muslim beliefs and values are so fantastic, they why don't they go back to a Muslim country?.. Oh wait, because obviously Western values are better for society or they would not have come here in the first place!
- hasanahmad, on 12/12/2007, -56/+2511. Muslims should leave the matter of Hijab between the person and God
2. Christians should accept that people who wear HIJAB are 'NORMAL PERSON' as well. (look at story and you know what im talking about - Taquoshi, on 12/12/2007, -33/+208I hope the father and the brother get to cool their heels in prison for a LONG time. They'll have plenty of time to pray to Mecca then....
- valkyries, on 12/12/2007, -12/+123When an American moves to the MiddleEast, it would be expected that they conform to M.E. standards. When a person from the M.E. moves to the West they expect the west to conform to their standards.
- kajoob, on 12/12/2007, -21/+132If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times - always wear your hijab.
- patpl22391, on 12/12/2007, -62/+154Religion of Peace strikes again!
- Shawn4168, on 12/12/2007, -37/+119Not until somebody first announces that Christians are just as bad, offering "ZOMG CRUSADES!!!!" as their only evidence, and receives at least 50 diggs.
- manstein01, on 12/12/2007, -9/+90It's really quite simple, if you want to live in a Muslim society with Muslim laws, go live in a Muslim economy. There's the door, and don't let it hit you on the way out.
- inactive, on 12/12/2007, -130/+209Islam sucks.
- Chaoticfist, on 12/12/2007, -31/+107Just to correct the Story. Mississauga is not a suburb of Toronto. Toronto is a ***** up place, Mississauga is totally separate. As for the story. Most Muslims are not like this. You have your radical bitches everywhere.
- Badtastic, on 12/12/2007, -8/+81You can take a man out of his country but you can never take the country out of the man.
- Bigflexy, on 12/12/2007, -32/+103I can kill in the name of the easter bunny. That doesn't make the easter bunny evil. In fact people use all sorts of reasoning to justify their behavior but in the end it is them selves responsible for their actions. Not their religion or political affiliation. This is a case of a father exerting to much control of his daughter and nothing more.
- aman78, on 12/12/2007, -18/+87All religions suck. Period. Nothing else has killed more people than the stupidity of religion. God tells these ***** to kill. What a ***** sick joke that is.
- mowe, on 12/12/2007, -78/+147It's not the religion's fault.
It's the fault of the maniac extremist dad who took things too seriously. People on digg obviously don't know much about Islam, considering the insightful comments made about this atricle. - popothebright, on 12/12/2007, -7/+67We'll see how much 'honor' he's got left after he becomes someone's 'wife' in prison.
- highstriker, on 12/12/2007, -10/+65I'll accept that when I see others who believe in this religion begin speaking up. Perhaps that's just a bias of the media, but nevertheless- I haven't seen it. It's also hard for me to believe that religions that essentially teach oppression (and I don't think one can argue that women aren't oppressed by Islam) can care much about peace, love, or life.
- posure, on 12/12/2007, -9/+632. What does Christianity have to do with accepting hajibs as normal? That sounds like an issue with society to me, or actually...I didn't know that anyone had a problem with them in the first place, this girl just didn't want to wear one and thats her choice.
- popothebright, on 12/12/2007, -17/+65Oh *****. Islam is a monolithic cult with NO reform movement. Where are the cries from reformist imams? Where are the street protests of moderate muslims demanding an end to this?
Christianity and every other modern religion has tempered itself with the times. Islamic people who are moderate are scared ***** of saying anything because they'll end up dead like this chick. - wreckosaurus, on 12/12/2007, -12/+58What the ***** does this have to do with Obama, ***** you, you're retarded
- inactive, on 12/12/2007, -18/+63Maybe where are afraid of Islam when Islamics use it to justify killing thier daughters, shooting at French police, bombing school busses, calling for the execution of teachers that name teddy bears mohammed, beating women for getting in a non relatives car, execute teenagers for being gay, arrest dj's for playing the wrong music, beat men for having western haircuts, kill women for not covering thier hair, arrest men for shaving thier beards... and did I mention blowing up buildings. Maybe when Islam is used by Islamics to excuse Canadian law, or French law or US law it's time to start fearing Islam.
If your culture is based on respecting all people as equals, then you can not see a culture that refuses to as being equal as a culture. You cant have it both ways. Multiculturalism is *****. And those who only see the lack of tolerance when it comes to multicultural dogma like "Islamophobia" but not in the Islamics so intolerant it leads to assult even murder need to be called out as the one who is really being closed minded. - inactive, on 12/12/2007, -11/+56...and I get hassled for doing drugs.
- dvsbastard, on 12/12/2007, -27/+70Nope, this is where the educated, tolerant and civilised member of society points out that judging a whole group based on the actions of one (which is not approved by many) makes you just as bad as what you seem to preach against... Sure you may not resort to murder, but being a little more modern and civilised in your naive stupidity isn't something to be proud of...
- sanman, on 12/12/2007, -4/+46This isn't the first time that something like this has happened. The fact is that practices like these are tolerated all across the Islamic world. What about that woman who received the 200 lashes sentence in Saudi after she was raped? Just another aberration? Sorry, but criticism of crap like this is constructive criticism, and your resistance to it is unconstructive - pretty barbaric, actually.
- sapo916, on 12/12/2007, -13/+54Because the actions of few represent everyone. I am Muslim, my Sister goes to the Mosque, doesn't wear a hijab at home and so far no one has strangled her, nor the countless of other Muslim girls that regular Americans hit on regularly with no Hijab. But no one cares about that since all people love is violence and ignore the majority because they are normal and blend into society.
Btw, I am white and I do not wear a Turban. - inactive, on 12/12/2007, -8/+49religious lunatics
- BGog, on 12/12/2007, -14/+52Dude he is totally right. If some Hindu or Christian killed his kid in the name of his religion I would say that religion sucked.
I don't discriminate against people for being islamic but that religion tends to cause people (yes the extremists) to do aweful things that other religions don't. I can't remember the last time I heard of a Budist monk stoning someone.
Grow up. - skews13, on 12/12/2007, -5/+39a man who loves his beliefs more than his own flesh,and blood.does make you wonder doesn't it.
- john2kx, on 12/12/2007, -20/+54Are you defending this guy's murder of his daughter?
- sanman, on 12/12/2007, -4/+36Because hypocrites like to have their cake and eat it too. That includes Muslims. They want the New World economy and standard of living, but they still want to keep the wife/daughter on a leash, walking on all fours.
- gazaa, on 12/12/2007, -35/+64Muslim guy does something evil? Islam is the problem. White Christian guy does something evil? he's a ***** up wacko; hes not representative of real white christian people.
digg has a disproportionately large population of Islamophobes. - Preacherman, on 12/12/2007, -13/+41My reading comprehension is pretty good, and it looks to me like eclipse007 is defending this guy's murder of his daughter. He's doing this by suggesting that: 1/ the murderer is merely following a cultural tradition, and 2/ rape (and murder?) is accepted around the world.
Pretty disgusting, really. - Dewhead, on 12/12/2007, -0/+27Chaoticfist,
I agree with you that most Muslims in Western societies are not like this. Most moved to the West to get the hell away from barbarians like this. However, why was this family in a western county if they did not want to embrace a western lifestyle? Was this man a radical before he moved to Cananda or was he made into one after he moved there? It paints a very bad picture either way you look at it. - Chakat, on 12/12/2007, -2/+27So in other words, Islam's interpretation is that it's the woman's fault that men are such ***** around women, and that women need to hide themselves away so that men can continue thinking clearly. Got it. How about teaching men that women are more than a piece of meat instead?
- gormenghast, on 12/12/2007, -3/+27Agree. People can be intolerant even when they're not christian, fancy that.
- BGog, on 12/12/2007, -18/+41"some 11,000,000 Muslims have been violently killed since 1948, of which 35,000, or 0.3 percent, died during the sixty years of fighting Israel, or just 1 out of every 315 Muslim fatalities. In contrast, over 90 percent of the 11 million who perished were killed by fellow Muslims.”

Islam is a very calm and tolerant religion. They never stone teenage rape victims.... That would be wrong. NOT - Chaoticfist, on 12/12/2007, -5/+28Also....Holy *****....This was like less than 10 mins from my house......
I have always been thinking i wonder when Mississauga will be on Digg......but i wish it had not been like this. - inactive, on 12/12/2007, -27/+50Yea, the crusades were LONG ago and the Muslims are RIGHT NOW. We can sort of forgive for what happened before people knew the Earth was round but today? What are the Muslims thinking? The Muslim religion sucks.
- Taquoshi, on 12/12/2007, -4/+251.) The House of Saud has alot to answer for. If you doubt me, look up the nationalities of the 9/11 murderers.
2.) The Crusades were a response to the invasion along the Mediterranean coast by the Muslims. The Muslims are not peaceful conquerors. The killing went on in both camps.
3.) The Inquisition is over.
4.) Regarding the eradication of the Native Americans, one could say the same about the Armenian Gypsies, the Picts and the Mongol hoards. It's been going on as long as there has been greener grass on the "other side".
5.) The World Wars....the first one started over nationalism. The second one started over expansionism. Neither of them were particularly Christian in nature and this is the first time I've ever heard that "Christians" were responsible.
6.) Some of the finest scientific minds working on the A bomb were German and others were Jewish. I'm not sure how Christianity got mixed up in that.
7.) I don't know how Napalm was invented. But I haven't got a clue as to why it would be considered "Christian"
8.) As for Ted Nugent, he's quite capable of defending himself, so I'll leave that up to him..... - gormenghast, on 12/12/2007, -8/+29You claim that him being a muslim has nothing to do with this?
- pyrotix, on 12/12/2007, -2/+23***** up place? Toronto is the safest large city in North America. Really, we have the lowest homicide rate of any city over 500,000 on the entire continent, and probably the entire hemisphere.
Mississauga IS a suburb of Toronto, *AND* it has a higher homicide rate. There is no downtown, every street is crescent-shaped, there is hardly any transit, and the majority of working adults in Mississauga commute to Toronto for work on the GO Train or the expressway. Ergo, it is a suburb of Toronto, not separate at all. - inactive, on 12/12/2007, -4/+25That's a tad extreme.
- minoss, on 12/12/2007, -19/+40I'm generally fairly acceptable of most religions but please, enough with the "omg these are only radicals." First off, the radicals of most religions don't ever kill their kin or commit deeds even close to that level. Second off, these actions are FAR more accepted of many members of Islam, especially the "leaders", than the radicals of other religions (Westboro Baptist Church can barely recruit outside immediate family). I know very well that there are plenty of Muslim that are peaceful. However, stop pretending like acts like these are anywhere on the level of protesting funerals or condemning some movie.
- sniperhare, on 12/12/2007, -2/+21Exactly.
- zelig, on 12/12/2007, -14/+33Multiply that number by 100.
- Blueee, on 12/12/2007, -21/+39Don't ya just love the peaceful tolerant religion of *Fundamentalist* Islam.
You forgot a pivotal word... - mowe, on 12/12/2007, -7/+25Calling all Muslims ignorant bastards? What does that make you?
- popothebright, on 12/12/2007, -2/+20I think the father and son will make wonderful 'wives' to a convict named 'Bubba'. But at least they'll have their 'honor' intact.
- fuzzmeister, on 12/12/2007, -13/+31While I will not go down the road of saying Christians are "just as bad" (obviously Islam is in turmoil to a far greater extent than Christianity today), I would love to hear someone name a large-scale religion that has not had numerous atrocious acts committed in it's name. I dare you, just one.
