Twist That Fact!

Religion of Peace:

An Azeri immigrant in Russia's northern city of Saint Petersburg has been charged with hiring hit men to kill his 21-year-old daughter for wearing a mini-skirt, police say.

The man's arrest follows the detention last week of two other citizens of Azerbaijan, a majority Muslim state in the Caucasus, who confessed to murdering the girl, a university medical student.

The girl was abducted on the street in Russia's second city on March 8, taken to the outskirts of Saint Petersburg and then shot twice in the head, the source said.

Russia has experienced a revival of conservative religious tradition...within its Russian Orthodox and large Muslim communities.


There's a good example of the disingenuous, deceptive writing style one expects from Western journalists. Could you maybe get that brush a little broader, AFP? Perhaps you could throw in some Buddhists and Catholics and Hindus, too? I'm pretty certain Russian Orthodox Christians aren't hiring thugs to assassinate their daughters. Call it a hunch.
