Muslim Daughter Rejects Marriage, Ends Up Dead

JONESBORO, Ga. July 7 2008( Metro-Atlanta) A 25-year-old Jonesboro woman is dead after police said she told her father she wanted out of an arranged marriage.
Police said they found Sandela Kanwal's body inside a home in the 9600 block of Utah Drive in Jonesboro. They said Kanwal had been strangled to death by her father, Chaudhry Rashid, 56.

"Apparently, she had been married and has had no contact with her husband who lives in Chicago for the last three months," said Tim Owens of the Clayton County Police Department.
Owens said the victim and her father argued over the marriage and the fact that it had been arranged. "At some point during the altercation, he ended up killing his daughter," said Owens.

Police said they have encountered numerous challenges with the case, particularly because of a language barrier.
Authorities are not saying how the victim was killed.
Police said the family is from Pakistan. Neighbors were shocked to hear about the tragedy. "My heart goes out. They seemed to be decent, lovely people," said neighbor Veronda Luckett.
Rashid remains in jail charged with murder.

@imacritic1 I don't have a religion....Religion is for dummies....and no matter what you say you will NEVER be able to make a sexually perverse and absolutely useless religion like Islam look attractive or even interesting... Islam is bad meme (mind virus) and nothing more.

And giving peace to the world doesn't stop Muslims from raping and abusing women and children.

Islam is peace? Oh yeah sure it is, if you are a muslim! If you aren´t you have to fear for your life!

Don't judge Islam by muslims, judge muslims by Islam.

@adfhaf Yeah it is peace. They always show you the BAD GUYS and no one gets to meet the good people. Example: if they would put CHRISTIAN DRUNK DRIVER in the media every time a Christian guy does something wrong, wouldn't you not like CHRISTIANS. THE MEDIA has a lot of TRICKERY up there sleeves so they can make U believe the bad and not the good.

I am a 14 year old Muslim boy and I wish I could meet you one day to show u the real ISLAM. We are really good people.

@NuclearNympho LOL that what they make you believe. It's a lie. I am a juslim and i live in Jonesboro, Why don't i know who these people are? There are not a lot of Mosques around and I lived here for 13 years. I am 14 now and most Muslim communities stay close. And in Islam you don't have to have an arranged marriage. Did you not here what the Indian guy said. Some people from HIS ETHNIC BACKGROUND!

U can argue and talk trash about us but my father and mom didn't have an arranged marriage. I
