When the eeville British colonialists occupied India, they banned the "quaint custom" of suttee in which a widow was burned alive atop a pile of her late husband's possessions.

When the eeville colonialists were informed that suttee was a traditional Indian custom, the officer replied, "well, we have a traditional custom of hanging chaps who burn their brother's widows."

Now now.. we must learn to be tolerant of multi-culturalism. After all, we can't be ethno-centric and force our Patriarchal Western Christian culture on these proud people. That would truly be a hate crime.

All cultures are created equal.
Diversity is our strength... repeat after me..

enough of these sub-humans claiming that western countries need to adapt to their culture.

When honor killings occur, they need to be prosecuted as cold, pre-meditated murder and send the ones responsible to prison or an electric chair.

End of story.

I know this is Britain but where is the equivalent NOW group? Feminists should be outraged, but no they're too concerned with gender neutral vergbiage in colleges/high schools. Words like 'freshman'. They have no time to speak out again true crimes again women. sickening. I am a proud recovered feminist because of this kind of crap.

What is left unmentioned in the article is that very often the perpetrators are protected, hidden, and smuggled out of the country by the families whose "honor" has been satisfied by the killings.

The question is very simple - will British law be truly supreme in Great Britain or will a deliberate closing of the eyes in the name of multiculturalism result in the establishment of an alternate law that is in every respect superior to it? Because every time one of these murderers turns up safe and triumphant in Pakistan or wherever, British law is just that much more weakened. It's happening in Canada as well. Our turn next?

And let us not forget that it is precisely this sort of insanity that the Leftists and their RINO brethren can't wait to import to the U.S. with their "religion of peace" pap.

Don't you know? They're feminists. They only oppose Western misogyny (not giving paid maternity leave, etc). They have PC multicultural blinders for this sort of thing.

They really do have time. . .but Feminism was never meant to be a caring for women per se or exclusively. . .it was a 'reach out' to women so as to facilitate Leftist idiological changes in a culture. . .

. . .i.e. in a word or two, a variation of the theme. . .'the hand that rocks the cradle. . .rules the world'.

I am glad you saw the discrepencies. . .the hypocrisy. . .and moved out and on. . .

Feminists are NOT outraged because these third-worlders are not really human in the western way. They are quaint creatures from some exotic movie. The feminists, indeed- all leftists see barbarians as an undifferentiated group and no one is going to kill a feminist for any sort of "honor." so they are safe. Honor killings cannot affect them so they are quaint and should be protected.

That is part of the backwards attitudes towards abortion and capital punishment. A living breathing feminist is safe from abortion. It cannot happen to her (him either)and thus can be espoused. Capital punishment is something that could possibly happen to a an adult leftist so must be opposed zealously. They think-"what if I were mistakenly picked up for a capital crime?" or "what if I am deliberately framed by an evil Christian?"

this is exactly why immigrants to any country should be allowed in only if they are willing to give up their old ways and acclimate totally to their new country, its laws and its ways of life.

But do you notice that if someone were running around killing child molesters some lib group would be screaming bloody murder!

That was Sir Henry Hardinge, the first Viscount Hardinge of Lahore. He was a serious Christian man who did much to liberate the people of India by introducing them to enlightened western ways. But he was not dealing with Muslims there. Would that we could bring him back to the UK today.

Grapples? GRAPPLES? What the hell kind of society sits around wringing hands when young women are strangled to death for choosing the wrong male companion? If this isn't an example of decadence, nothing is - on both the British and Islamic sides.
