Canadian Muslim Family Convicted of Honor Killing

A Muslim man, his wife and son have been convicted of the murder of his three daughters, and his childless second wife in his polygamous marriage.

The four women were murdered in honor killings, because they failed to uphold the strict interpretations of the Koran held by the family in relation to dress, dating, socializing and going online.

The deaths have fuelled the debate in Canada concerning the integration of Muslim immigrants into Canadian culture, due to the increased number of these “honor” killings in Canada in recent years.
