Saudi Arabian man catches daughter on Facebook, murders her

SaudiFlag.gifA man from Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, beat and then fatally shot his daughter after catching her using Facebook to conduct a conversation with a man, according to reports. More than 30,000 Saudi Arabians use Facebook, but religious figures such as Saudi preacher Sheikh Ali al-Maliki condemn the site as a hotbed of lustful activity. "Facebook is a door to lust and young women and men are spending more on their mobile phones and the Internet than they are spending on food," al-Maliki said in a recent TV interview. Thank goodness we live in a country where social networks don't get people killed.
