Some time ago Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs began an initiative to memorialize honor killing victim Aqsa Parvez, who lies buried in an unmarked grave in Canada, and I was honored to be able to help out with this effort.
Now the Canadian town of Pelham is honoring Aqsa, and she will be memorialized in Jerusalem as well.
Pamela has the details and a recap of all the events. She is to be commended for taking a stand against this horrific practice, when others are silent, whether out of indifference or fear. The memorials in Pelham and Jerusalem shows that while the Islamic world considers these poor women to be worthless, the West values them and remembers them. It is a first step toward resisting this practice on a large scale in the West.
