A very touching story of Liam & Theo

Liam Tasker had been on patrol with his dog Theo at the time of the attack in Afghanistan & shortly after his death, his Army search dog Theo also died of a broken heart. He suffered a seizure.

Liam spent just 15 weeks on a handlers’ course with Theo where they both developed a very strong bond. Theo had been quite successful at detecting explosives. Both Liam & Theo found 14 homemade bombs & loads of weapons in just 5 months.

‘I love my job and working together with Theo. He has a great character and never tires…He can’t wait to get out and do his job and will stop at nothing,’ he said in an interview on the Ministry of Defence website.

His family said that Liam was larger than life & his girlfriend further added that he used to touch the lives of just anyone he ever met & she’s very proud of him. He did touch the live of Theo too. We have been reading too many stories in which either dog waits for the owner or dies due to a broken heart. You cannot doubt the loyalty of your four-legged friend. It’s a pity that dogs are mistreated & slaughtered in various places & we can't put sense in their stupid heads.

Another case of honor killing

Well I just read this story of a 20 year old girl named Noor al-Maleki who had been killed by her father. His jeep rolled over her & not just that, he even injured the other woman Khalaf.

Noor was living with Khalaf & she knew this lady ever since her childhood days. Noor’s parents did not like her American ways. You know the typical things that she shouldn’t wear make-up, tight jeans & such things. They also wanted her to marry a man in Iraq. Her father was mad at her when she got involved with Khalaf’s son. Even her father warned Khalaf that something bad would happen if Noor continued to live with her.

Faleh al-Maleki had been convicted of killing his daughter & committing assault against Khalaf. According to the defense attorney, Faleh just wanted to spit on Khalaf & accidentally ran over the 2 women. This is unbelievable. You are about to spit on someone & the next minute you actually kill your child & seriously injured the other person.

Anyway, this has been characterized as a brutal case of honor killing. This particular girl had been killed in America.

"Some families think that the women of the family represent their reputation…If a woman has committed a violation in their point of view, they believe if they kill her, they have ended the shame. Blood cleanses honor."

- Rana Husseini (a Jordanian journalist)

It has been reported that 5000 such killings occur worldwide & experts believe the real number is much higher than 5000. In many cases, you don’t even get to know about the deceased. If a family thinks that a woman has tarnished the image of the family, they believe they have the right to kill that woman.

It’s strange that people live in another country, raise their kids over there & then expect them to marry someone in Iraq or Afghanistan & can’t stand their way of dressing. Honor killing is something that happens every day in our country. Some people actually are living corpses. To them killing their own children is no big deal.
