FOX is what percentage owned by Muslims? Because the spin has started on the attempted ISLAM-APPROVED HONOR KILLING of Harry Potter actress Afshan Azad. It's got nothing to do with religion, ya see, it's all about what's "taboo" in "traditional", "conservative" Muslim AND Hindu families, and the Azad men have "issues" about "loss of power". All true, of course, but conveniently leaving out the small "issue" of the tolerance of "honor killing" in Islamic Sharia law.
'Harry Potter' Star in Family Feud Over Hindu Beau

The father and brother of a British actress who starred in the more recent "Harry Potter" movies have been charged with threatening to kill the 22-year old actress, apparently in disapproval of her boyfriend.
The actress, Afshan Azad, played Harry’s classmate Padma Patil in the popular series. Her father, Abdul Azad, 54, and her brother, Ashraf Azad, are accused of threatening her in May during a fight at her Manchester, England, home. The brother is also accused of assaulting her.
Details of the alleged threats and assault weren't immediately clear, but prosecutors have said the Muslim men did not approve of her relationship with her Hindu boyfriend.
The case has been adjourned until July 12, and both men were granted bail on condition that they do not contact Azad at her home.
The potential role of religion in the case has raised questions about the men's motivation.
“In traditional [Muslim] societies the family comes before the individual, and the woman represents the honor and purity of the family, so for a woman in the family to engage in a relationship that is taboo can be viewed as a violation of the family,” said Haroon Moghul the Executive Director of the Maydan Institute, a consulting firm that seeks to raise awareness of Muslims.
“Also in more conservative circles of Hindu or Muslim families, people don’t date before they are married, and it can be a lot worse for the girl and she is the one who is blamed and punished by the father, uncle or elder brother.”
Such cases can lead to what some people term “honor killings," though the term often is denounced in religious communities as a misnomer.
“It is poorly named since there is no honor in killing a woman. What these crimes are about is controlling a woman and it is not something unique to just Muslim society,” Hussein Rashid, a visiting instructor at Hofstra University’s Department of Religion, told Fox411.com. “I can’t put words in these men’s mouths, but it sounds like they had real issues with the success of a woman in their household and that this is about a loss of power.”
Afshan Azad first appeared in the Potter franchise in "Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire." She will also appear in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, the final film in the saga.
Warner Brothers, the studio that released the Harry Potter films, did not respond to calls for comment.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting to hear from Rowling, either. It will be interesting to see how this taqiyya goes down with the Potter fans.

Yes, her father and brother tried to kill her because instead of buying a new Fiat for them she bought a Gucci bag.
Or maybe it was an interpretive argument gone bad over the precedence of 9:29 over earlier omniscient comments by god?
Or maybe she was blowing the damn vuvuzela again
FNC is no longer a reliable source of news, particularly when it comes to Islam.
Even more people will buy into the whitewash of Islam with FNC down the tubes.
Dang, according to JW she is now trying to get the charges dropped because she "doesn't want to see her family members locked up". Her lawyer claims she retracts her statement and "has pleaded with the Crown Prosecution Service not to proceed with the matter".
It will be interesting to see how the fans react to this turn of events. The ones at Leaky Cauldron have been turning out to be concerned and alert to the "honor killing" problem in general.
The thing is, if she prosecutes the father and brother, some uncles and cousins will step in to finish the work.
She probably thinks she's feeding the crocodile.
But, in the case of Islam, feeding the crocodile doesn't make you the last to be eaten, it makes you the next.
Revere Rides Again,
One word about Fox News' behavior involving this incident, "sickening." I used to love Fox News, not anymore. They're selling out their principals to appease their new Islamic masters. They may not have been perfect before, but now they are just making me sick.
