We’ve heard of men who have divorced their wife for failing to bear any sons,–Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon being the most famous example–but not of a man who murdered his wife for failing to bear a fourth
son.
The story is from Israel National News:
Suspicion: Palestinian killed wife because she was carrying girl
Police say West Bank Palestinian choked wife to death over ultrasound results; relatives say he was jealous of brother, who has nine sons Published: 05.13.10, 14:18 / Israel NewsPalestinian police in the West Bank city of Nablus arrested a man on suspicion that he murdered his pregnant wife Wednesday night because an ultrasound examination showed that she was carrying a girl.
The couple has four children–three boys and a girl–and the father wanted another son.
Palestinian police officials said the argument that followed the ultrasound test was just one of many and that it was not the sole reason behind the murder in the village of Nasiriyah, located north of Nablus.
According to police, abrasions were found on the man’s body, indicating that the wife struggled as he was choking her to death.
Family members said the husband had tried to kill his wife following a previous ultrasound examination. Relatives said the suspect was envious of his brother, who has nine sons. They said the husband had beaten his wife in the days prior to the murder.

I can’t believe it–the Israel National News is not an unbiased source. In any case, it could have happened as much with an Israeli as with a Palestinian. Did you check to see whether his house was up for foreclosure? Frankly I’m not sure why you’re even carrying this case–an isolated event that has exactly what bearing on America? Are you implying that evil is localized to Palestinian circumstances? Is there no evil in Israel–or should I remind you of King David’s murder (the Bathsheba case)? At least that Jewish killing had a name attached to it but this report of the Palestinian names no people–can anonymity be a fact? My, my–a report totally devoid of historical circumstances. Even labelled “Suspicion” (first paragraph).
What machine was used for the ultrasound–do you have a registration number?
The father wanted another son? Sounds to me like innuendo and accusation coming from the totalitarian, patriarchal Jewish society. I suggest this act has more to do with an Israeli attempt to tarnish the population of the West Bank in its quest for liberation and political autonomy. Look beyond this supposed neutral and objective piece of reporting …

It’s too late to tell this genius what that noted geneticist and embryologist Muhammad (pbuh) forgot to mention–the “fault” lies with him, the husband. He was directing the wrong sperm toward the egg.

You bring out a funny point. On one hand, Muslims believe that everything is ordained by the will of Allah. On the other hand, they feel dishonored by something over which they have no control, like the sex of their children.
Roger G. replies:
Much thanks. But if that was my point, I didn’t even realize it. However, now that you mention it, you’re absolutely right. I’m smarter than I thought.As for Ben W.’s comment, at least David had the prophet Nathan to tell him what a murderous bastard he was, and David stood for it. Did anyone ever correct Muhammad without surrendering a valuable appendage or organ?
I see we have the usual Israel-bashing troglodytes dropping their turds in the punchbowl. *yawwwwwwwwwwn* Your comments are laughable, Ben W., and you’re fooling yourself thinking the Pali Koranimals are worthy of sympathy but that’s par for the course after a lifetime steady diet of MSM, University indoctrination and your lack of critical thinking. Just a regular, run-of-the-mill lefty jackass whose fweewings are hurt because it’s unthinkable that a peace-loving Pali koranimal could ever be accused of doing something evil and it’s always Isreal’s fault – somehow – someway – no other explanation is possible. Idiot.
I think he was being sarcastic. But the irrational left use arguments that are so outrageous that this type of humour, the humour of logical extremes, typically can’t work.
Ever read a Pakistani paper, or for that matter, most any Muslim newspaper? Those guys just sit down and make stuff up out of whole cloth, and it’s often funnier than Ben W’s satire. I don’t think Muslim ‘civilization’ every evolved the concept of truth. To a Muslim, if you back me up you are telling the truth, if you make me look bad, you are lying. Simple as that. The truth, in and of itself, is of no importance to them, which is why their list of accomplishments is so painfully close to non-existent. If you refuse to give truth any power and will not be swayed by a convincing argument based on evidence, then you are incapable of critical thought. The Muslims, as a group, have simply not evolved to the point of critical thinking.
