Canada: Muslim women just happen to keep drowning for some reason

Nothing to see here, though, move along…

There would seem to be a statistically improbable number of multiple drownings of female members of Muslim families in Kingston [Ontario] this summer. If you’re a young female Muslim, and you have any say in the matter, you might want to vacation elsewhere.

He says there will be a police press conference at noon today about the “Kingston Muslim car drowning” (there’s a separate “Kingston Muslim pool drowning”, in case you’re having trouble keeping up with all those dead Muslim women suddenly cluttering up our mulit-culti paradise…)

Some interesting emails, apparently:

“For some time, my sister, as well as the Shafi couple’s oldest daughter, Zainab, had been receiving death threats for social, cultural and family [me: but NOT religious!] reasons,” Masoomi’s email to Kingston Police states.

In an interview through translation, Masoomi, who does not speak English or French [me: even though she lives in, like, France], explained that Rona Mohammed has stayed in regular contact with relatives in Europe, and has told them she feared for her life.

“She was really afraid,” Masoomi told the Whig-Standard, through her daughter Elaha Masoomi. “There were death threats.”

UPDATE: my codefendant writes…

“Backstroke”

Just one of the correct answers from the Canadian Citizenship Test (Revised 2009).
