Robert Fisk on Honor Killings
It is a tragedy, a horror, a crime against humanity. The details of the murders -- of the women beheaded, burned to death, stoned to death, stabbed, electrocuted, strangled and buried alive for the "honour" of their families -- are as barbaric as they are shameful. Many women's groups in the Middle East and South-west Asia suspect the victims are at least four times the United Nations' latest world figure of around 5,000 deaths a year. Most of the victims are young, many are teenagers, slaughtered under a vile tradition that goes back hundreds of years but which now spans half the globe.
he spends some time trying to de-Islamicize the problem but then gives examples and, surprise, the worst of the worst tend to all be Islamic honor killings

#1 Fisk just needs a little more time to wrap his head around why we should value cultures different from our own. Just like Womens groups came to understand the Clinton's job placement and promotion of women who give good blow &** and Acorn's assitance in bringing in 13 and 14 year old teenage girls across the border for brothels, Fiskie will eventually find a way to appreciate the nuance of the deep heritage involved in these cultural traditions.
