No need to be so high and mighty.
We are not that far removed from this sort of thing ourselves.
It was only about 100 years ago that a judge in this country ruled that you could only beat your wife with a stick no larger than your thumb.
About seventy years ago it was justifiable homicide to kill a wife caught in the act of adultery.
These things are horribly wrong and need to be stopped, but it does take time to change an ancient culture.
The Western European Culture had a huge head start on the Eastern Mediterranean Culture as far as women’s rights.
In the middle ages Irish women could vote and own land (prior to the English invasion). Not to mention if they owned land they were obligated to serve in the army or hire a replacement.
Raped and then killed for the shame she brought them!
Celebrate Multiculturalism. Celebrate Diversity.
She'd better have another look at the Koran. It's rule rather than exception protocol hasn't changed in 700 years.
Your post would be illegal in Israel. :>)
"THE THRESHOLD for "capital" violations of family honor varies with the family."
Any news of males bringing dishonor to a family?
Do the females kill them?
Why not?
Ninth century thinking. Half the human race has to be subservient to Arab men because they feel/are inferior. Well, what have they accomplished lately other than blowing up or beheading innocents? Not a whole heck of a lot.
Ah. Yes. The media is using some twisted, warped, demented definition of the word "Conservative" here...in order to slyly equate the Islamazis who just LOVE to kill, whether it be family or Infidels it seems... with Traditional Conservative Christians and Jews...thereby isolating and broadbrushing ALL Conservatives to be as bad as the Islamazis!
Nice try, you evil scumbags! The ONLY time you write about Conservatives is to disparage/decry them!
The Marxist-stream Mediot have chosen the side they are on...and they are not being sneaky about it anymore. They move openly, which tells me the BIG fight is just about to happen, because evil ONLY becomes bold and open when it thinks it has the upper hand!
This is a myth and has been debunked many times.
Hollywood would rather make a movie celebrating "Tookie" as a hero.
("And while I don't agree with him, I can understand him.") - I saw this so many times in the article. It reminds me of a Chris Rock comedy skit about the OJ murder (I'm not saying he should have done it; but I understand.)

True, evil operates in the shadows and through self-deception
There's that wacky ol' Religion of Peace in action again! They're a laugh a minute, I tell you.
Hollywood is perverted enough to make a "love story" movie about this.
yeah, the feminist groups are simply pissed off by the words such as "postman". but they are totally OK with honor killing.
