Muslim father beats daughter for dating a white

Yep, your anecdotal example completely refutes the point

That is shocking, however it is more common in muslim households. Atleast, there have been more reports of domestic violence and honor killings amongst muslims, than white british.

However, just because there are fewer reports, doesn't mean it isn't as common but i personally doubt it. I think muslim fathers are particularly strict towards their daughters and even sons to a degree

My point is that you have no grounds for insulting her relationship because young relationships do work

"Insulting", anecdotes down, hyperbole next.

I'm not insulting her relationship, I'm merely making an observation to how teen relationship in the 21st century tend to go.

You're making an assumption based on your own prejudices

What position? of running away with my eternal love and forsaking my family in the process? err no

Second, you tell me that I know nothing about the situation but then you proceed to speculate that she's better away from them and she won't regret her decision

Get real.

um...?
and yeah it might not be but people also have to realise that times are changing. We can only stick to traditions for so long before they don't apply to everyday life anymore.

Why are people saying 'yeah well you can't date in Islam anyway so she should've known' when you don't know if the girl herself is a muslim or wants to be one?
Religion should be a personal matter anyway imo

That's rather naive... We can generally assume any Muslim parents will make sure their kids will be Muslim too, and probably won't be given too much choice in the matter. Rightly or wrongly. Probably the same for every religion, although I don't know if to the same degree.

Only its not tradition its religious rules that have been there for centuries yhh what he did was wrong but Islam is against dating im sorry if it doesn't fit into ever changing moral free society it survived for many centuries and will continue to ...

And muslims wonder why we give them a bad name :-\

This is not tradition, it's religion and there is a difference. It does not change according to society and 'everyday life'. Religion cannot be adapted to satisfy others especially when they're not muslim themselves. I sincerely suggest you learn the differences of tradition and religion.
You're welcome.

You know the difference between culture and religion...............
oh wait.

Yes i do and your point is?.

So you're saying it's okay to beat someone up if they choose to date even if they're Muslim?

I thought that most Muslims on this thread wanted to point out that Islam actually doesn't condone violence as a form of discipline and that this is a culture issue instead. But from your post you're making it seem like it's due to Islam that he beat her up.

edit: imo it's a discipline issue more than anything. Yes the dad is racist for not wanting his daughter to be with a white boy but it would happen even if the boy wasn't white. But as the judge says in the article "any father would be horrified" if they found out their 14 year old daughter was having sex. It's the way he implemented his rules and the way he disciplined her that was wrong.

What are you on about this is clearly cultural majority of asian and african communities are against dating; nothing to do with religion. I know hindu's who parents would object to dating.

You're just a sheep who is convinced Muslims and Islam is to blame for this girls death.

Because the Daily Mail mentioned 'Muslim'. Honour killings happen in EVERY community, even if not at the same levels.
