A Clayton County man was behind bars Sunday, accused of killing his own daughter. Police said the father was angry because he felt his daughter was disgracing the family.

Investigators said 54-year-old Chaudhry Rashad was so outraged at his daughter, Sandela Kanwal, and her plans for divorce that he killed her after a heated argument at the family’s home. Investigators said Rashad confessed to strangling the 25-year-old woman.

Fox News television just had a few apologists on, talking about how Muslims obey the laws of the countries they are in, and how honor killings have nothing to do with Islam. On the latter point, I agree - they happen in many backwards cultures, including Islam.
