I guess they thought that the family that slays together stays together.

A FATHER who ordered his two teenage sons to murder a British university student in a so-called "honour killing" because the victim had made the man's daughter pregnant, was jailed for 20 years today.

The sons of Chomir Ali, aged 15 and 19 at the time of the murder were sentenced to minimum terms of 14 and 16 years respectively for killing Oxford Brookes University student Arash Ghorbani-Zarin.

The 19-year old Ghorbani-Zarin was found dead with 46 stab wounds in the front seat a car in Rosehill, Oxford on November 20, 2004.

All four were Muslims. Ali and his sons were of Bangladeshi origin while Ghorbani-Zarin was a British Iranian.

Judge Mr Justice Gross, sitting at London's High Court, sentenced Ali, 44, and his sons to life prison terms for what he described as a "cold blooded intentional killing".

Setting the individual minimum tariffs for all three, he said: "Far from vindicating your family's honour, you have permanently dishonoured your family with the stain of murder."

I can understand wanting to kill the guy who knocked up your daughter, but carrying it out is a bit extreme. Claiming that it restored your family honor is even worse.

And then, it appears, the daughter was coerced into aborting the pregnancy. No doubt the threat of her death was used by her father to get her to kill the unwanted grandchild.

I guess that is just Islamist family values at work.
