English Glory Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 If there's a thread about it the poor girls name never came up in search. Maybe it was merged, as happens with topics on here that get to the heart of the matter, who knows. Anyway, forced marriage has little to do with religion more it's just medieval tradition. Molly Campbell should surely be case a too far... the one where a mixed race child becomes embroiled, her destiny ruined. Though... just to make it clear forced marriage is wrong in every case, but this one will lift the horrifying reality above blatant estupendo comments of racism. Labour did of course rule in June that forced marriage didn't warrant an adequate seperate sentence under law... why? Was it the Muslim Council of Britain saying their community would be stigmatised, as 11 year old to 16 year olds- some older, sold unwillingly, to a slave marriage, when that happens there should not be any kind of looking down on the practice nor should they be saved from their fate. What of the Asian women 3 times more likely to kill themselves. It's not because of poverty, the 12 killed a year in the UK under so-called honour killings are testament to that. Why does Labour agree with it? and all the horrifying consequences? is it to cement seats in a pitiful few areas by males ahead of the fate bestowed every year nationwide to the women they pretend to have the best interests for. They can pout all they want of trying to find Molly Campbell, and no doubt they will - they better do! but what of everyone elses suffering under the blind eyed regime of Labour for the past few years. The thousands of forced marriages under their stewardship, the dozens of " honour killings" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tab1 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 What a confused post, are you point scoring against the Asians, or the Labour Party or do you have genuine concern for this little girl? It will turn out to be more a case for "fathers for justice" than a conspiracy to kidnap be muslim council of Britain. The other way of looking at the situation is to ask yourself how the hell can you care more than this little girl's father? This story has had reporting so one sided that media and indeed the post above make it sound like every marriage is a gunshot wedding. Rubish, and no we don't need to change the law just yet especially over a story that may simply be a nasty breakup of this couples' marriage, again a sign of the times. How many honour killings were there in Sheffield last year? Please remind us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Glory Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 How many honour killings were there in Sheffield last year? Please remind us. This is general chat. There are 12 "honour killings" per year in the United Kingdom, that's what it is averaging at the moment. As for the rest of your post.... like i said this has plainly been going on for too long. Do you agree with forced marriage and honour killings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tab1 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 This is general chat. There are 12 "honour killings" per year in the United Kingdom. You see "honour killings" terrible as they are, but in each case would have their own set of circumstance and reasons and may have nothing to do with forced marriage, and so seems unfair to attatch it to this case and ask for a change in the law. It's another attempt to jump on yet another bandwagon rolled out by the media, and the other side of the story has yet to come out. Let's hope this little girl is OK and gets to stay with whichever parent she chooses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 EG, we don't actually have any proof as yet that this is the case. as for honour killings, it's more in Indian culture than Pakistani, I understand. Ps, it's still deplorable that this young child has been abducted, for whatever reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanerothyme Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I notice that White Christian Bloke in the USA was finally apprehended for his actions in procuring girls for his cronies under the guise of 'polygamy'. I guess all white christian men must be like him.Or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly his version of Christanity is stuck in a time warp since befor Islam, which limits it to four wives, and in the context doesn't sound too bad. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Glory Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 It's amazing that horrifying cases are just laughed off. Christian cases aren't on a par with this scale of mass loss of liberty for thousands. “Many children will be missing from class when school starts next week. They will have been married overseas. Others will be back, but they will be married,” said Jasvinder Sanghera, of the Karma Nirvana Asian Women’s Project in Derby, which deals with an average of seven new cases of forced marriage a week.

redrobbo Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 The posts by English Glory would have more credibility if he didn't display such a blatent sham concern for the alleged victim, Molly Campbell. Instead English Glory uses this case to make completely spurious links to alleged government policy. For the record, no British government has ever supported forced marriages or so-called honour killings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
