People are getting very hung up on his motivation to kill his daughter. He killed her. It's murder, end of story. Reaching out for his daughter's throat, to choke the life from her, has nothing to do with his integration. He didn't want to integrate, he wanted to keep his religion, and wanted his daughter to do the same.
He would have to be very well integrated to be swayed from a religious belief which gave him motivation to justify murder. We're not talking about a beating- it's a belief so strong and ingrained that murder is an actual solution to a problem, according to his view of his beliefs. Good luck integrating THAT out of him.
Thinking his integration had anything to do with it is, in my opinion, just silly. Second-generation immigrants are the ones who integrate because they are brought up on the values and beliefs of the first generation, but actually have the luxury to think for themselves, and in an environment that might allow it. Well, this girl's environment wasn't quite ready for that yet.
I don't have a problem with any faith system or religion- but any personal belief that gives a person justification for murder is fucked up wrong, plain and simple.
