Scrounging up one lone report about a Pali Christian from 2 years ago hardly justifies a blanket statement regarding Christian honor killings. With all due respect, I have serious doubts about you having good intentions on a Conservative board.

Scrounging up one lone report about a Pali Christian from 2 years ago hardly justifies a blanket statement regarding Christian honor killings.

What I said wasn't a blanket statement, what I said was that there were cases. I provided one, and there are numerous articles on the phenomenon of honor killings in the middle east say that there are a few cases among Christians as well. This isn't a controversial notion, except to you.

To repeat what I said before, this isn't about Islam as much as it's about tribal crap that predates Islam, but which Islam does little to ameliorate, unlike Christianity.

A case could probably be made that Islam is a religion made for a tribal people, while Christianity, born and disseminated through the Roman Empire, is a religion for a civilized people.

With all due respect, I have serious doubts about you having good intentions on a Conservative board.

Why? Because I believe that a lot of the issues the west has with Islam has less to do with the religion itself than with the way violent, uncivilized people with a political agenda use it as an excuse for their actions? Our president has said much the same thing.
