Would you consider it shocking for a parent sacrifice his life to save the life of his child? Well, it very much depends on the parent’s particular culture, from Donald Douglas, American Power [1]:
Islamic Father Lets Daughter Drown Rather Than Be Rescued by Lifeguards, Lest They ‘Dishonor’ Her
He didn’t want her being touched by “strange men.”Islam is a disease of untold death.
At the Mirror UK, “Father let daughter drown rather than be rescued by male lifeguards because it would ‘dishonour’ her.”
London’s Daily Mail won’t call the man “Muslim.” He’s an “Asian” instead, labeled so as to avoid a Charli Hebdo attack on the Mail’s headquarters, obviously.
But see Bare Naked Islam, “‘ISLAMOMANIA’ IN ACTION: Muslim father lets daughter drown rather than have her touched by ‘male’ rescuers”:
He is likely the Muslim Father of the Year.
(CNN [2])A French couple who died while hiking in a New Mexico desert on a 100-degree day may have kept their 9-year-old son alive by giving him extra water rations, Otero County Sheriff Benny House said.
Ornella Steiner, 51, and David Steiner, 42, of Bourgogne, France, were found dead last week off a hiking trail in White Sands National Monument, a vast and treeless desert park about 226 miles from Albuquerque.
Their son was found dehydrated but alive beside his father’s body, House said, apparently unaware his mother was already dead.
So tell me yet again one more time, why we are supposed to believe that are cultures are somehow to be deemed as equal.
