In the past four months, six Muslim women living in Berlin have been brutally murdered by family members. Their crime? Trying to break free and live Western lifestyles.
Within their communities, the killers are revered as heroes for preserving their family dignity. How can such a horrific and shockingly archaic practice be flourishing in the heart of Europe?
The deaths have sparked momentary outrage, but will they change the grim reality for Muslim women?
The shots came from nowhere and within minutes the young Turkish mother standing at the Berlin bus stop was dead. A telephone call from a relative had brought her to this cold, unforgiving place. She thought she would only be gone for a few minutes and wore a light jacket in the freezing February wind. She had left her five-year-old son asleep in his bed. He awoke looking for his mother, who, like many Turkish women in Germany, harbored a secret life of fear, courage and, ultimately, grief.
Now her little boy has his own tragedy to bear: His mother, Hatin Surucu, was not the victim of random violence, but likely died at the hands of her own family in what is known as an "honor killing."
Hatin's crime, it appears, was the desire to lead a normal life in her family's adopted land.

We need to remind the feminists that acting like a 19th century feminist can get you killed in the 21st century Arab world.
No. The killers should be castrated and subjected to a sex change operation and be forced to live like women.
I think a couple of .22’s in the spine would do the trick.
Mother pigs, sometimes, eat their own piglets. Or so I've heard.
I do not understand why so many Europeans and Americans alike can’t see that these “honor killings” do indeed express a deep and abiding hatred for the West, non-Muslims, and our culture.
When it’s said that “The whore lived like a German” then that’s saying that every single German woman- every single one- who doesn’t live, dress, and conduct herself according to the rules of their particular brand of Islam, is a whore.
That doesn’t stop at Germany, of course; that includes every other woman on every other continent.
Strange, how silent the feminists are on this subject.
Another Muslim expression : Uncovered meat.
Therefore rape, slavery, murder... is ok ?
Liberal women will not be able to vote, hold a job, go to school, drive a car...
So many of those women are kept inside. There was one on French TV who hadn’t left the house in 17 years! A turk. If the daughter came home late the father would beat the mother. It was shocking, another punishment was that the mother wasn’t allowed into the living room for months at a time! And you know, the Turk let the documentary be filmed because he was proud of his culture! He was showing it off!
Up the street from me there was a tiny Pizza shop owned by an Algerian, I got friendly, got him talking, after a couple months I learned that he kept the wife and daughters, pretty much, inside all the time. What ticked me off most is that his shop was really popular with the multi-culti leftists, artsy cinema types.
