40 HONOUR KILLINGS A YEAR IN GERMANY?


[+] serious ballot by xxxxxxxx
ACTIVE Mon May 07, 07 - Tue May 06, 08

"AYHAN SURUCU was so angry when his sister started to wear make-up and date German men that he put a gun to her head at a bus stop and killed her. The 18-year-old Turk fired three bullets into her brain and calmly walked away...


Although she was brought up in Germany, Hatun was forced into a marriage with her Turkish cousin in east Anatolia. The marriage broke up and she returned to Berlin with her five-year-old child to live the life of a young German woman: going to discos, renting a small apartment, taking lovers and starting an apprenticeship as an electrician. She abandoned the traditional headscarf and wore fashionable jeans...

Ayhan, 19, was jailed after admitting that he wanted to "wipe the stain from our family".

There are 40 “honour killings” a year in Germany and most of them result from the failure of an arranged marriage, which are illegal in the country." (Source: timesonline UK)

LCD- you have not answered the question. Is this concerning or not?

And I am not herzog. However, I take it as a compliment to be compared to him. I have a lot of respect for herzog. However, I am a little bit worried... if you somehow think I am like herzog, there is a chance you might kick me off this site too.

40 murders out of an annual 960 is quite a lot.

^ wtf man. "taking lovers." was she marlene deitrich reborn or something? was that really in the story? "i vant another lover."


yeah, this worries me the same it worries me when a guy robs and kills and old man so he can get money to buy drugs.

Kev- I find it to be a bit more disturbing when someone kills a member of their own family, and in a response to a trivial issue. It is especially disturbing that they try to justify their behaviour as cultural tradition.
