Will we have to wait years to see a decent picture of the victim? The authorities are loathe to release photos of the victims and humanize them. They prefer to keep them a statistic.
The silence of the left, women's groups and human rights organizations concerning Islamic gendercide and misogyny speaks to a utter depravity in the nature of their thinking. Urbane savages.
Where are all those ERA baby boomer clowns? Getting groped at #OWS? Their silence is affirmation, approval. Their silence sanctions the heinous sharia, thereby giving rise to honor killings in the West. Evil is made possible by the sanction you give it, withdraw your sanction (Ayn Rand).

I don't expect Islamic groups to speak out against honor killings, as honor killing is sanctioned in Islam. Under the sharia, honor murder is sacrosanct.
Obama say, "Respect it!" Daisy Khan say, "the era of extremism is over!" Jay Leno's wife, Mavis say, "The qur'an is more liberal with women than the Bible." Geller say, "You did not die in vain. We shall fight them in the fields, in the streets, on the hills, on the airwaves, and in the media. We will never surrender."
It is no accident or coincidence that Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that "retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right." However, "not subject to retaliation" is "a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring's offspring." ('Umdat al-Salik o1.1-2). In other words, someone who kills his child incurs no legal penalty under Islamic law.
Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but "the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour 'provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.'" And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that "Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values."
Nonetheless, the media drumbeat is constant: honor killings have nothing to do with Islam. And so they continue, as no one ever challenges Muslim authorities to do anything to stop them.
"Dad killed daughter in brutal axe murder," from The Local, January 13 (thanks to Twostellas):
A Swiss prosecutor has described as a "veritable slaughter" the vicious axe murder of a 16-year-old girl by her 53-year-old Pakistani father, who believed his daughter had tarnished her family's honour.
The charge sheet presented by prosecutor Ulrich Krättli suggests he will call for the accused to be given life in prison, the maximum sentence under Swiss law, when the high-profile case goes to trial on March 14th.
On May 10th 2010, 16-year-old Swera was picked up at a Zurich police station by both her parents. She had been held there by police after she was arrested for a minor theft.
Once back at their apartment in Höngg, on the outskirts of the city, a heated argument broke out between father and daughter, newspaper Tages Anzeiger reports.
The girl said she wanted to leave home permanently and started to pack her things. She then went down to the basement of the building to get a pair of shoes. While she was gone, her father allegedly retrieved an axe from the balcony and hid it in the bedroom he shared with his wife.
Once she was back in the apartment, the girl went into her parents' bedroom to pick up some of her belongings. When she bent down to get some things from the wardrobe, her father hit her with the axe on the back of the head, the prosecutor says. The man struck his daughter 19 times with the axe: 12 times with the blade and seven with the blunt end.
The teenager not die instantly, but lay on the ground in agonising pain for several minutes until her life finally slipped away.
The father left the axe between her legs, pointing to the feet, a gesture Krättli does not want to interpret, but that usually has sexual connotations and expresses the motives behind the murder, newspaper Tages Anzeiger reports.
After washing his hands, he left the apartment and called his wife to say he had killed his daughter. Fifteen minutes later, he called the police, who arrested him shortly after near his apartment.
In an interview with newspaper Blick, Swera's boyfriend explained that the girl's parents had strongly disapproved of her relationship with him, primarily because he was a Christian. The boy said she was desperate to get away from her parents and had already sought help from a local youth shelter.
According to the prosecutor, the defendant killed his daughter because she had violated his archaic values and had brought shame on the family. Krättli says the Pakistani man had planned the killing “in cold blood”.
The 53-year-old man has remained in custody since the girl's death. He will be tried in March not just for the brutal killing of his daughter, but also for allegedly trying to kill her three weeks earlier.
On April 20th, the pair had argued after the girl's father suspected she had been smoking marijuana.
Seizing his chance while she was in the bathroom, he pushed her into the bathtub, turned on the tap and threw a hairdryer into the water.
He wanted to electrocute her, the prosecutor alleges, but his attempt failed because of an in-built security system in the appliance to prevent electric shocks upon contact with water. On that occasion, the 16-year-old girl managed to get away before running to a friend’s home in her wet clothes.

under Sharia it is illegal to allow a Chritian man to date or marry a Muslim girl. this would of course make sense of this situation. but of course, i’m sad for the girl.

Why move to a predominately nonMuslim country if friendships and relationships with infidels (Christian, gasp!) are forbidden? What kind of father hacks his daughter to death with an axe with not an ounce of remorse? A Muslim one, Sharia Law approved. May the victim, brave enough to want to leave her perilous situation, rest in peace. How sad.

@KKKK. There is no Sharia Law in Switzerland, so any action is deemed legal or illegal only by the Swiss Criminal Code. Sixteen year olds can legally consent to sexual acts, whether heterosexual or homosexual, without the consent of parents.
