Val McQueen on Islamic honor killings in Tech Central Station (thanks to JS):
This is so routine in many Muslim societies, the perversity of it is seldom questioned within those societies. We know there is even provision for it in some countries, such as Jordan, which gives lesser penalties to men who commit “honor killings” to “remove a stain from the tribe” than for other murders. They also give a free pass to a man who kills his wife because he suspects she might have committed adultery, and a rapist has his sentence reduced if the woman he raped wasn’t a virgin. (By contrast, Pakistan has re-introduced the death penalty specifically for this crime, with accomplices being handed an automatic life imprisonment. According to Pacific News writer Muddassir Rizvi, in 1999-2001, there are estimated to have been 1,100 “honor killings” there.)
And just as genital mutilation takes place in Britain with British doctors turning a blind eye in the name of “multiculturalism”, so the murder of disobedient girls and women is countenanced, or at least not reported by the neighbors.
