Honor killing stories don't mention they were Islamic honor killings. Father kept daughter out of school for a yr, pleas to police ignored

.
The honor killing court case will cost Canada taxpayers millions of dollars.

1/29/12, "Shafia family guilty of murder; judge condemns 'sick notion of honour'," Globe & Mail

"The murder trial of three Afghan-Canadians accused of drowning four relatives in a so-called “honour killing” came to a cathartic end Sunday afternoon as the defendants were convicted on all charges. ...

The 10-member family – one husband, two wives, seven children who were all Ms. Yahya's progeny – settled in Montreal in 2007 after fleeing Taliban-ruled Afghanistan in 1992 and spending years in Pakistan, Australia and Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates....

The defendants pleaded not guilty to what the prosecution contended was a carefully planned but clumsily executed quadruple murder, disguised as an accident, committed chiefly to cleanse the Shafia name and reputation of shame brought about by the victims’ rebellious conduct, particularly Zainab’s and Sahar’s interest in boys and dating.

‪The trial began Oct. 20 and in its final weeks it drew big crowds, often lining up well ahead of time for a spot in the 150-seat courtroom.

It was also expensive. A police source directly involved in the case estimated the final tab will run into millions of dollars.‬...

Barb Jagger, 52, who for a couple of weeks shared a cell with Ms. Yahya...

She recalls her cellmate as quiet, pleasant and evidently deeply religious. She would pray five times a day, Ms. Jagger said, and often read the Koran. ...

The fourth person in the vehicle was Mr. Shafia’s first wife, Rona Amir Mohammad, 53, who had entered Canada illegally, posing as his cousin, but who in fact was part of a polygamous marriage....

=====================

One of the now dead daughters feared for her life and asked police to place her in a foster home but they wouldn't. The article won't even say the word Islam. 4 people are dead, the police ignored the girl's plea because everyone is afraid of Islam.

1/29/12, "Shafia’s daughter asked to be placed in foster care prior to murders," Globe & Mail

"The Shafia girls turned to neighbours, school authorities and police to report troubles at home."...

-------------------------------------

This story also refuses to say the word Islam. It says one of the girls had a "Christian boyfriend" but how is that relevant if they won't mention the family is Islamic? It at least reports one daughter was forbidden to attend school for a year and at one point fled to a shelter in fear of her father. No one intervened because they're all afraid of Islam.

1/29/12, "Afghan parents, son guilty in 'honor' killings," AP via MSNBC

"Zainab, the oldest daughter, was forbidden to attend school for a year because she had a young Pakistani-Canadian boyfriend, and she fled to a shelter, terrified of her father, the court was told.

The prosecution said her parents found condoms in Sahar's room as well as photos of her wearing short skirts and hugging her Christian boyfriend, a relationship she had kept secret....

Shafia's first wife wrote in a diary that her husband beat her and "made life a torture," while his second wife called her a servant....Shafia's first wife was living with him and his second wife. The polygamous relationship, if revealed, could have resulted in their deportation."...
