More excellent points from the article: No one will call upon Islamic groups to do something about this practice. No special scrutiny will be focused upon Muslims in the United States, or any studies undertaken about how honor killings can be prevented. No one will examine the question of unrestricted Muslim immigration in light of this problem.

I remember having a professor in school that went on and on about the Hmong (Mong) immigrants in so cal. Their cultural practices offended her "progressive" sensibilities.

Islam puts little value on human life outside of it's rigid, brutal rules.

I worked for the better part of a year in a predominately Hmong refugee camp in Thailand back in 1979-80, helping with the resettlement effort. Often, I would stay in the remote camp for a week at a time when we were interviewing families and preparing the immigration paperwork. I didn’t find them that weird, although I saw some interesting things. There were polygamists and opium smokers, of course. Saw a medicine man in a trance “ride” into the spirit world to bargain for the soul of a sick person. The bargain called for the sacrifice of an animal. They would eat the dead animal afterwards, as the bad spirits only wanted the animal’s spirit (practical people). It was cute to see young boys practicing the medicine man rituals. Tough people, the Hmong.
