One day last week at the trial of the Shafia family in Kingston, Ont., as court was hearing a relative describe the small freedoms the teenage girls in that family so hungered for – Canadian friends, makeup and clothes, the company of boys — I found there were tears streaming down my face.
They had wanted so bloody little.
The thought that their modest desires could have cost them their lives – and that is the central allegation at trial, that in their ordinary rebellion they had offended the family honour and paid for it with their lives – was egregious enough.
That this had happened, allegedly, in Canada was intolerable.

Death to Islam.
Coming soon to a neighborhood near you.
What a way to write a story. It is like a cattle pen.
Hush y’all — this is the religion of peace. Get used to it.
=========================================== What you talkin' bout Willis!?
It's already here!
And exactly what kind of “fighting” is the courageous Ms. Blatchford prepared to do?
Write articles?
Force tax money from non-Muslims to pay for “programs” of some useless, tolerant sort?
Send young men to be killed in impotent operations that nip at the heels of the beast while ignoring its head?
Blatch is one of the good ones.
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.
The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the infence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it.
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.
It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”
Sir Winston Churchill (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50, London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899).
Thanks for the ping, Squawk 8888.
Islam defenders like to say that honor killings are a cultural inheritance from certain countries, and not a part of the religion. What they neglect to mention is that the honor killings are always for perceived violations of Islamic law, and the killings themselves are totally excused by the same legal authorities. So if it is a cultural phenomenon, it’s not an Arab, or a Pakistani, or an Afghan cultural phenomenon, it’s a Muslim cultural phenomenon, and the Muslim religion is responsible for that cultural, and therefore for these heinous crimes as well.
"Blatch is one of the good ones."D'accord.
She has always supported the troops, and she knows the difference between the troops and those who send them in harm's way.
When she did her stint in Kandahar as a reporter, she did not stay inside the wire. She was out on patrol with the men and women about whom she was reporting.
I cannot imagine Christie ever advocating sending Canadian troops on specious token missions such as was suggested by dagogo redux in his Reply 8.
Throughout her reporting on this murder trial, she has never advocated a "social" solution or "education" as a remedy. She wands evil people such as the Shafia family held accountable for their barbarity and she wants the rest of us to pay attention to the fact that such barbarity is happening in Canada.
Churchill was brilliant.
The Brits used him to win the war then fired him.
Now look at them. Soon to be an Islamic country.

What a cowardly “religion.”
No wonder there are so many ugly muslim women. Their families kill or mutilate the beautiful ones.
Thanks!
I am in a struggle with one of those “just as many Christian terrorist” crazies.
