In the US muslim fathers KILL their daughters and wives all the time. ....................................................................................................... Arizona Man Gets 34 Years in Daughter's 'Honor Killing' He ran over his daughter for being too Westernized By Luke Kelly-Clyne, Newser Staff Posted Apr 16, 2011 (Newser) – An Iraqi immigrant who deliberately ran over and killed his 20-year-old daughter in an Arizona parking lot wept yesterday as a judge sentenced him to more than 34 years in prison.

He was driven to kill his daughter because it suited his purpose."
