It is so very difficult for me to comprehend how a father, brothers and other relatives can kill a member of their family for no other reason than a woman has brought shame on her family. The recent murder of a young pregnant Pakastani woman by her family has left most of us outraged, wondering how any kind of law supports killilng. How could a parent murder their child? It is beyond the realm of sanity. Unfortunately as pointed out in this article http://edition.cnn.com/2014/05/29/world/meast/pakistani-honor-killing/in... tens of thousands of families are subjected to this type of killing on an annual basis. What about the man who killed his wife so that he could marry the woman who is now dead? How can anyone forgive this type of callousness, a total lack of disregard for life? What about the woman in the Sudan who won't renounce being a Christian and has been sentenced to death http://edition.cnn.com/2014/05/30/world/africa/sudan-apostasy-husband/in.... What about the nut in Santa Barbara, California who went on a rampage killing six people and himself, because women didn't pay attention to him http://edition.cnn.com/2014/05/24/us/elliot-rodger-video-transcript/inde.... But we are primarily talking about women, treated as less than whole, less than a human being.
People, men and women and those of other persuassions need to stand up, put those responsible in jail for the rest of their lives, not torturing them, but making their lives hell, making them sit in a cell to think about what they have done for the remainder of their days. Murder should never be tolerated. We should never allow those who don't respect human life to live a life of freedom to think that murder is right. This type of madness has to be somehow removed from the human race, as it is pure cancer. I feel helpless knowing that this type of murder, or for that matter any type of murder, takes place on a regular basis everyday.
One can go on, the recent rape and killings of two teens in India, http://edition.cnn.com/2014/05/30/world/asia/india-gang-rape/index.html?..., how can it be? How can we stop this? Have we gotten that far off of any positive path of loving others and being kind towards one another. In a recent article that I wrote Is Heaven for Real http://sharing4good.org/article/heaven-4-real, I wondered if there is a heaven? If there is a heaven do people who murder their children deserve to go?
I am so outraged, sick and sad.
