KUWAIT CITY: A Kuwaiti man killed his 14-year-old daughter by slitting her throat after he thought she was having pre-marital sex.
A security source yesterday said Adnan Al Enezi, 38, had confessed to murdering his eldest daughter, Haifa, for "improper" behaviour and was being questioned by the public prosecution.
Forensic tests showed Haifa was a virgin, the source said, adding the public prosecutor was investigating the case and the mental health of Enezi before filing charges.
Enezi is an employee at the Islamic Affairs Ministry.

Is this the kind of event that we can look forward to in Iraq now, "W"? Now that we have gone a TRILLION DOLLARS into debt and spent the lives of 1900 American sons and daughters to set up the Shi'ite Islamic Republic of Iraq? Did you mention that "staying the course" would result in a country where women are legally less than men?
As your PNAC mouthpiece Mr. Gerecht said this morning:
"Actually, I'm not terribly worried about this. I mean, one hopes that the Iraqis protect women's social rights
as much as possible. It certainly seems clear that in protecting the political rights, there's no discussion of women not having the right to vote. I think it's important to remember that in the year 1900, for example, in the United States, it was a democracy then. In 1900, women did not have the right to vote.
If Iraqis could develop a democracy that resembled America in the 1900s, I think we'd all be thrilled. I mean, women's social rights are not critical to the evolution of democracy. We hope they're there. I think they will be there. But I think we need to put this into perspective."

Did you tell America what "perspective" we had to keep in mind when the collective we gave you our sons, daughters, mothers, fathers to die for Iraq's new "freedom"?
In Islamic fundamentalist countries, homosexuality may be punished by the death penalty. Is that OK with you "W"? Or will your oil friends over there say to you in private "Heh heh heh, the faggot said 'boo hoo hoo please don't kill me'?"
