A jury on Sunday found an Afghan father, his wife and their son guilty of killing three teenage sisters and a co-wife in what the judge described as "cold-blooded, shameful murders" resulting from a "twisted concept of honor" in a case that shocked and riveted Canadians.

Prosecutors said the defendants allegedly killed the three teenage sisters because they dishonored the family by defying its disciplinarian rules on dress, dating, socializing and using the Internet.

The jury took 15 hours to find Mohammad Shafia, 58; his wife Tooba Yahya, 42; and their son Hamed, 21, each guilty of four counts of first-degree murder. First-degree murder carries an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years.

Awful, awful stuff. As bad as this was in Canada, this kind of thing happens regularly in places like Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, etc. Truly sickening.

that is the precise reason why we have to take a stand against Sharia law and not let it be implemented any where in the western world.

Yes, zero tolerance for this kind of crap. I'm glad the Canadians weren't swayed by any PC garbage. The gruesome facts of the case speak for themselves.

At least they describe him as an Afghan and not a Canadian in the article.

Yep. It seems to me this kind of thing goes on in Afghanistan all the time:

KUNDUZ, Afghanistan — An Afghan man killed his wife for giving birth to a third daughter rather than the son he'd hoped for, police said Monday.

The 28-year-old victim, who was known by the one name of Storai, was strangled by her husband — a local militia member — and his mother on Saturday, authorities said.
Storai had given birth to the couple's third daughter three months ago in Mohasili village in Afghanistan's northern Kunduz province.

Violence against women is common in Afghanistan. In late November in the same province, an Afghan family that refused to give their daughter in marriage to a man they considered irresponsible was attacked at home by assailants who poured acid over both parents and three children.

This kind of thing has been going on for centuries. Imagine how much worse it was before our troops came and once they leave...other than taking out AQ we should have had no other business there. The idea that we could install some kind of pro-Western democracy is just absurd.
