Kuwaiti slaughters his daughter in front of family, honor killings common in Islamic countries

Story dated 26 January 2005

"Adnan Enezi. . . had just returned from the pilgrimage to Mecca." According to witnesses, he "bound and blindfolded his daughter, Haifa, knelt her down in front of her two brothers and sister and then cut her throat. Forensic tests showed Haifa was still a virgin, police sources said. Mr. Enezi is being questioned about the case." "The daily said that after cutting Haifa's throat the first time, he swapped the knife for one with a sharper blade as she bled and screamed in front of her siblings." This is one of the so-called 'honor killings' that happen all over the Middle East. Thousands of women are murdered in this way each year. In my opinion, any man who commits an 'honor murder' should be killed in the same way that he killed his victim. This behavior is not human, it's how beasts behave, and this man should be put down like the beast he emulates.
