5,500 Reports of Honor Attacks This Year In UK; Thousands of Others Unreported
Atlas Shrugs ^ | 12/29/11 | Pamela Geller

Posted on 12/29/2011 6:39:33 PM PST by Nachum

These thousands of women whose cases go unreported are not just the victims of the fathers and brothers whom they fear. They are also the victims of Western apathy and silence, and it’s only getting worse. Almost no one in the dinosaur media talks about honor killing. All those loud-mouthed charlatans talk big when excoriating and trashing those who fight for these women and recognize their plight, but they cower when forced to report on Islam. Instead, they search for benign euphemisms for this most brutal and ugly ideology.

Thus as the Islamic supremacists, the leftist apologists, and useful idiots continue to obfuscate the truth behind these terrible honor murders and attacks, Muslims who engage in such practices are sanctioned by society at large. As the West bows to Islamic supremacism, it’s the women and children, who in Sharia states are nothing more than chattel, who suffer the brunt of it. Our silence, and in effect complicity, has consequences. Honor killings in the West are on the rise.

If the west doesn’t get a handle on these problems, civilization will blow away with the sands of time.

The Grapevine, TX murders were an honor killing even though the media won’t admit it.

Dad’s “weird” text message referred to death in Grapevine, recipient says (murderer was muslim)

All women in the West should be protected by Western law; being born to a Muslim family or married to a Muslim should not strip them of ordinary legal rights and protections.

When authorities look the other way after an "honor" killing, the rights and protections of ALL of us are diminished.

“When authorities look the other way after an “honor” killing, the rights and protections of ALL of us are diminished.”

Unfortunately, this is not happening just because of some misguided attempt at “tolerance” on the part of the authorities. “Multiculturalism” is essentially part of an effort by the authorities to replace the rule of law with arbitrary rule.

Just think, the addition of Sharia law would make every person a criminal
beholden to any accusation by one side and upheld by the other.
We are heading towards the 7th century.

“We are heading towards the 7th century.”

Probably. But I wasn’t referring specifically to Sharia law. My imagination doesn’t extend much beyond the miscreants that now constitute much of our present courts.

The left hates the rule of law, because adherence to a system of laws gets in their way. My problem has been with many recent instances where activist judges have adopted some provision of an alien legal system ( whether European or Muslim or Buddhist) in order to give an appearance of legitimacy to promote whatever phoney legal “precedent” that serves their political purpose.
