That was a dumb move, he should of just found someone else if he wasn't satisfied with her. At least he is paying the price for what he did.
I find the fact that his lawyer claimed he was "Suffering from mental defect" right along side the fact that he was trying to get lenience based on cultural differences, rather amusing. However I find nothing amusing at all in what he did to that poor woman.
Wonderful to see how Germans respect the bad parts of other cultures and ignore the good ones. Whatever happened to all are created equal and should have the same rights? Sad shit ...
yeah, and leave it to the Germans to say that Muslim women have less rights than western women, even when they are in Germany.
Yes. You are actually a bigot. I wonder how many christians and westerners savagely beat and kill their wives every day. Perharps, you would say none, that's probably why you are so "shocked" when the person who committed the crime happens to be a muslim. Yes, definitly a bigot.
I'm aware of the fact that men of many cultures beat their wives, and that this is a horror whenever it happens. I was just commenting on my amusement at the way the summarization of the lawyer's tactics were written.
Ahem. Grab a clue. How many of those bad actors use their religion to justify their actions? How many of those bad actors can find verses in their "holy books" which do justify their actions? How many of those are taught by "holy men" who teach the verses which justify these actions? If you're trying to develop some theory of moral equivalency between Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, Mormonism, etc... -- you are failing miserably to accomplish your goal.
Westerners learn from their mistakes and are always trying to improve themselves to make society better. This kind of behaviour is not acceptable. Now muslims on the other hand...
Yes, let's blame KalvinB for talking about this crime instead of blaming the zealot who committed this crime.
I know that violence against women is not acceptable and it is the result of different social, economical and mental problems that happens in many societies. It is only idiots like you that try to use an unfortunate event to spread their hatred and bigotry. Since little willy likes to make this about religion then let's look at statistics provided by US government about what happens in America. It seems strangely enough, it is not only Muslims who do these things but also nice white Americans abuse their wife too.
I don't know if that was posted in another thread before, but have you heard about the woman-judge in germany who refused to divorce an immigrant muslim lady by reffering to the sharia and quran? That lady was badly beaten and was seeking divorce at court. Now if that is not something to get mad about when you're european, american, asian and whatsoever, then I don't know. This is quite a big story now in Germania
