A 56-year-old man on a student visa. That’s interesting. Anyway, Islamic law forbids Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men. So this aging Saudi student was merely trying to preserve his family’s honor. Shouldn’t the Canadians be as sensitive to “cultural differences” as the Australians are?
“Saudi man accused of assaulting daughter for marrying outside religion,” from NTV, March 21 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
A 56-year-old man from Saudi Arabia has been charged with assault and uttering threats to kill his daughter after she married a non-Muslim man from Newfoundland. Khalaf Alshaek was arrested after allegations that he choked his daugther [sic]. He is in Canada on a student visa and is being held in custody until Monday.
