Genuine religion makes a difference in how you act. It sets your priorities and limits your choices. Today in The Telegraph we see an article that shows the potential results of a sincere belief in Islam. Unusual circumstances but logical application of what is believed.
It seems that a Muslim man’s daughter was swimming and got into trouble. The lifeguards started to go to her rescue but were prevented by the girl’s father. He got violent. The girl drowned. "He told them that he prefers his daughter being dead than being touched by a strange man,"
I wonder why he let her go swimming in the first place. Was she swimming in her burqa? That in itself would cause her to drown. If she wasn’t, then she was exposing herself and asking for death.
The term for this in an active murder is “honor killing”. This was a passive, letting die. It is a part of Islam.
Religion matters and it is coming to America.

I notice the father didn't try to save her.
