Mother arrested for attempted murder of daughter

Story from CTV News. (H/T Blazing Cat Fur)

Excerpt:

A Montreal mother will appear in a provincial court Monday on charges that she tried to kill her teenaged daughter, in what police suspect could be an attempted honour killing.

[…]CTV Montreal’s Rob Lurie reported that the mother was apparently upset that her daughter had stayed out very late at night on Saturday.

“It appears that the mother allegedly stabbed her daughter in the head, face and shoulders,” Lurie reported from Dorval on Monday.

In a separate report on CTV News Channel, Lurie said the family is originally from Afghanistan and is relatively new to Canada.

Neighbours told CTV Montreal that the 19-year-old victim sometimes wore a hijab when leaving the house, while not wearing a hijab on other occasions.

Lapointe said the mother will face charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault and possession of a weapon.

The secular left often says that we should not judge other cultures morally, and some say that there should even be a parallel system of justice for Muslims based on sharia law, as in the UK. After all, they say, who are we in the Judeo-Christian West to judge others? What makes us any better than them?

One thought on “Mother arrested for attempted murder of daughter”

  1. It is only fair that Islamic nations allow western women to walk on their streets with shorts and flying hair.

    This culture clash is getting on my nerves because it only goes one way!

    The mother should face charges. Justice has to be blind on culture or religion, or else every excuse is valid.
