about this story was that the ex-wife's father and mother, who I believe are Muslim, came and brought her home when they learned he was abusing her. The Muslim stereotype suggest that it's almost obligatory for men to beat their wives. I could be wrong, and I know spousal abuse is not uncommon anywhere, but I honestly don't think that most women or their parents will put up with much of it regardless of what fundamentalist religion or culture have to say on the subject, and that plays in spades for premeditated mass murder.
