Another story from The Mirror, today.

His father beat him with a hammer.

I feel really bad, I guess he's just reacting to a bad life?

Could explain quite a lot.

Poor Guy

He's still extremely annoying though.

That's apalling.

Still can't stand him as a Housemate, though.

I feel really sorry for anyone ostracised and assaullted by family but I might be tempted to take something heavy to him too if I was in the house.

I wonder if theres a hammer in the cutlery drawer.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned - just saw the Mirror story about Grace and Nikki being good friends before BB and are having to pretend to be strangers. Very odd.

That is sad but it does not explain why he is a total ********.

I'm not condoning what his family , especially his father, did to him but it was done in reaction to him being the way he is not the other way round as some seem to have assumed

If that is supposed to be a funny comment, I think you're sick in the head!!

I think you need to lighten up.

The supposed "reasons" behind the attack aren't important. A child was beaten by their father with a hammer. It's horrific.

I think they have got steak on shopping list so i presume theres a hammer to tenderise it.

Isn't it a shame what people can do in the name of religion?.
Disgusting.

I agree with you , all I'm saying is he was the way he is before not because of the attacks - there are no excusable reasons for attacking family like that

I don't think it's just religion! I think it's digusting whatever the reasons are!!

Poor kids being beaten by adults, makes my stomach turn!!

It's pretty mild actually, considering what happens in the name of religion every single day.

That's a dreadful thing to happen in the name of 'honour'.
His family obviously couldn't stand the shame, how sad for Shahbaz, but he still irritates me sometimes.

Still doesn't make me like him, at all.

Stop.

Hammer time!

OK... I dunno how many of you guys who posted to this thread actually bothered to read the story:
--------------------------------
HOUSEMATE Shahbaz Chaudhdry was battered by his father in an "honour beating" hammer attack after he was caught wearing high heels to school.

Shahbaz, 37, was later disowned by his strict Muslim family after admitting he was gay.

Shocked friends watched as his father Muzammil - who was later prosecuted for assault - beat him with a claw hammer outside his school in Glasgow.

Former school pal Fiaz Ahmed said: "After that, as far as I know, Shahbaz never went back home."
--------------------------------

The aspect of this which i'll comment on is as follows, which is NOT to defend his father in any way. But Shahbaz MUST have known how simply terrible this action would have been to his family, and that would be for MOST families, let alone a muslim one.

I cannot get into the mind of this man. But it is clearly an indication of a totally self-obsessed 'me me me me' approach to life and sod everyone else, even his own family. He is totally selfish and disrespectful. He could have waited until he was older, moved away from home, and then played out whatever fantasies he wanted too, without rubbing the noses of his father and mother into it too.

To be honest, this is Shahbaz all over. And he seems to be lacking any concept of appropriate behaviour... and revels in being a victim. I could go on...

He's still friends with his cousin, so it's not his whole family.

So would I.

I'm a catholic and sex before marriage is normally frowned upon, but if I had sex without being married, I wouldn't have been beaten with a hammer!!

So why is the Islamic religion so extreme?
