According to Egypt’s Al Dostor, earlier this month in Tanta, Egypt, an imam of a mosque—a prayer leader and model of Muslim piety—slaughtered his own nephew with a knife because the latter refused to marry the imam’s daughter. Along with the nephew, a 27-year-old teacher who died of several stab wounds in the chest, two other relatives were attacked and hospitalized by the 52-year-old imam and his younger brother. “Prosecution ordered the accused imprisoned for four days pending investigation.”
