I’ve read a few articles on this story, and it’s certainly yet another warning signal to us all in regard to Islam. But I want to pause for a moment in regard to the issue of evidence.

So far in the articles I’ve read it’s said that the alleged killer went to the police station and told the police that his wife was dead at their radio station. I haven’t read anywhere that he confessed to the murder.

While I think it is most likely that he did the revolting deed, the evidence we’ve been given so far – at least in what *I’ve* read so far – is circumstantial, not conclusive. It looks extremely bad for the guy, but is it possible that someone in his family or some other Muslim, say, from the Mosque he attends, learned about the wife suing for divorce and took it upon themselves to do an honor-killing, without consulting the husband?

At this early stage, before all the evidence is presented, I think people ought to be mindful about not making the easy assumptions.

While the husband looks like the guilty one, we need a trial and something more substantial and reliable than the first sensational reportings from the media to establish the actual culprit.

But whoever carried out the deed, it sounds another warning siren against Islam, itself.
