I suppose Europe should expect more of this until the Sharia is implemented. Probably about 50 years in England.

Three men were jailed Friday in Britain over a "barbaric" honour killing ordered by the family of a 20-year-old Kurdish woman after she had an affair with a man they deemed unsuitable.

"This was a barbaric and callous crime," said judge Brian Barker. "You are hard and unswerving men to whom apparently the respect from the community is more important that your own flesh and blood."

The young woman's agonising death was ordered by her Iraqi Kurd father and uncle after they discovered her affair with another Kurd, Rahmat Sulemani, 29.

Mahmod vanished in January 2006 and her body was found buried in a suitcase in a garden 100 miles (160 kilometres) away three months later.

According to prosecutors, Hama confessed that Banaz's ordeal lasted two hours and said she was subjected to rape and other degrading sexual acts before being garrotted.

Hama also said she took 30 minutes to die, adding that he had stamped on her neck to "let her soul out."

As horrible as it is, this is an excellent example of those that say the "equivalency of culture" is transparent. This kind of thing just doesn't happen in the West. I mean, sure, there are isolated examples, but this doesn't happen as a matter of law to a culture that embraces such activities.

But England has a bigger immigration problem than we do. . . they just don't know it yet.
