how about they call it for what it is

If I had a nickel for every parent who killed his or her daughter, I'd be a rich woman and wouldn't have to place bets with Urquart.

What is it -- a killing based on a belief system.

The same day the Wash Post had the story you mention, it also had a story about a Christian Korean mother who smothered her teen daughter while trying to exorcise the devil.

In Balto, a mother let her 3-yr-old daughter starve to death because she didn't know how to pray. Then she put the body in a suitcase and took it to another city. She told the judge she would plead guilty if he would let her free if her daughter came back to life. The judge agreed.

What about all those Jehovah's Witnesses who don't allow their kids to have life-saving operations?

No, Inkberrow, I'm not going to pre-judge all Muslim-Americans based on what one fanatic does.
