An older but important piece from The Guardian of Istanbul via the Taipei Times, with thanks to Twostellas:
Birgul Isik had not expected to find her oldest son waiting for her at the bus station when she and four of her children returned from Istanbul to the central Anatolian province of Elazigon on Tuesday.She certainly wasn't expecting the 14-year-old to pull out a gun as she moved to embrace him."You've disgraced the family," he said, and shot her five times in the head and chest.
She is still in a coma.
For the police who charged the boy with attempted murder, and arrested his father and uncle on suspicion of incitement, it is just another example of the "honor" crimes that result in the deaths of scores if not hundreds of Turkish women each year. Most die for breaking the rules of propriety: they talk to men in the street, they wear the wrong clothes, they insist on education rather than an early arranged marriage.
Isik's crime was to appear on television. It was the fifth time she had fled her violent, bigamous husband. Ignored by the authorities, abandoned by her own parents, who reportedly told her "a woman's place is with her husband," she finally agreed last Friday to appear on a show many have described as Turkey's equivalent of Oprah Winfrey.
You only have to glance at Yasemin Bozkurt's daily program Woman's Voice to see why. There's the live studio audience, the frequent angry exchanges. The themes are familiar too: match-making, runaway children, violent husbands.
A radical break from Turkish TV's traditional mix of local sitcoms and Hollywood fare, the show, like its half-a-dozen competitors, has proved a hit. Despite the early afternoon slot, it regularly rates among the country's top 10. It has also courted controversy from the start.
The presenters see themselves as defenders of women's rights, confronting issues that had previously been hidden away in the silence of family homes. For their critics, they are purveyors of "victimization TV," using people's suffering to improve ratings and advertising revenue.
Of course, lurid TV shows don't cause honor killings. There must be another ingredient.
Another brainwashed savage muslim beast that has not a drop of humanity. Doesn't matter how young he is. He should be executed like an adult.
A savage beast is a savage beast.

It's not that I don't sympathize with the sentiment, but has a fatwa been issued against this site? I gather Robert has been threatened.
It'd be fun posting to a site under official Muslim anathema and interdict.

Honour killing of a mom! Whoa thats a first one i've heard involving a son and his "disgraced" mother.
Cavemen. Cavelaw. Peanut Brains.
Loxias,
Didn't you hear?
The "Hidden Imam", a secret Islamic religious hero whom many Muslims are awaiting to appear- Mahdi/Messiah-like- and to bring about their version of the "Rapture"/Islamic dominion on Earth, has already declared:
"All fatwas calling for anyone's death are a crime, in Islam, punishable by death, itself."
Paradoxical, but, hey, Allah(swat) knows best.
So, if any Muslim has issued such a fatwa against Mr. Spencer, they have merely put themselves at even greater risk from ALL Muslims.
The Catch-23 of enigmatic Islam.
People should read the book entitled GUARDING THE SECRET. The book is about a Palestinian girl named Tina who was killed by her parents in Michigan in 1989. Tina was killed because she wanted to act American against her father's orders. Tina even was working outside the home and dating an African-American. Tina's father claimed that he killed her to protect the family's honor. In reality, Tina's father was a supporter of the PLO. At the time of Tina's murder, her house was bugged by the FBI. When Tina was murdered, her screams were recorded on one of the bugging devices. That evidence was used to later sentence Tina's father to life in prison.
At the time of Tina's murder, her friends were shocked that such a thing could happen to another human being. However, in my opinion Tina's death serves as a warning to others. If Muslims are allowed to take over our country and the rest of the world, who knows how many millions of people could be brutally murdered in so-called honor killings.
