You are a reporter writing a story on a mother murdering her daughter. Would their religion be the first thing that popped into your mind and you write it in the first paragraph of your story...unless it had an importance to the story...I think not.

CALGARY — A Calgary mother won’t spend a day in jail for killing her teenage daughter with a head scarf...

The devout Muslim mother claimed Aminat came at her with a knife in her sewing room, where she prayed several times a day. She said she reacted by wrapping the scarf around her daughter’s neck and twice told the girl to put the knife down before the teen lost consciousness.

A knife was found in the room, but the daughter’s fingerprints were not on it.

Nevertheless, the woman was only sentenced to three years probation and required to accept counselling for grief, depression, and anger management, the judge noting that she had had a tough life and that "the events of that morning cannot be seen as a single isolated event.”

What do you think?
