There is no Honor in Crime, it should be called “Islamic Fundamentalist motivated Crime”.

Note they also said “Fundamentalism based crime” as to implicate the Christians by omission of the real religion causing issues.

Gee, they invite in and pay the way for a bunch of third world chavs and then whine about they consequences.

Wake up U.K and Wake up U.S.A....

Correction to myself, it should be called: “Islamic Fundamentalist motivated Hate Crime against Women and Women’s Rights”

Since they love the term “Hate Crime” so much over there...

What truly bothers me is the repeated use of the word “fundamentalism” in this article. The article only uses the word Muslim once to describe one of the people killed. Are Amish Fundamentalists killing their wives and daughters? Maybe a few Catholic boys are getting together and having an acid throwing party? Any Baptist Fundamentalists learning to fly planes into buildings.

No, this is Islamic fundamentalism in full flower in Britain and the PC government will reap the full whirlwind of turning a blind eye to this kind of evil.

I would suggest one more correction. Islam is their word. They are best described as Mohammedan.

I had the same reaction. Are these Baptist honor killings? Methodists? I doubt it. But they just HATE to call attention to the crimes of Islam.

So it’s Fundamentalists. Or Asians.

“Fundamentalism” okay...

“Muslim extremists” not okay...

The word fundamentalism is okay, because the same term can be used on Christians. And here it’s left vague what the real problem is. Christians aren’t perpetrating honor killings, yet you have to read deep into the article before Sharia comes up, and you know precisely what the group is that is perpetrating these crimes.

I don’t believe the word Muslim is used even once in the article, but I’ll grant folks that I got a little tired of looking about 75% of the way through the article, and threw up my hands in disgust.

The media in Britain and here is doing a terrible disservice to the people of both countries for not being more frank and honest about what is going on.

I think it’s because there aren’t enough Christians left in the UK to staff a softball team. Everyone knows what they are talking about no further description is needed.

Detective Chief Inspector Gerry Campbell, of the Metropolitan Police, said: 'The description of this type of crime is misplaced. There is no honour in these crimes.'

At least this guy gets it.
