Honour Killings in Canada?
Saturday, December 29th, 2007Darcey has a fascinating discussion going on at DMB about so-called ‘Honour Killings’.
Author Ellen R. Sheeley has left a comment that is well worth the read:
Imam Shakir is being disingenuous and playing to the cultural/moral relativists, of which there seem to be plenty.
Aqsa Parvez’s death was an “honor” killing, and “honor” killings will never be properly addressed if people aren’t even willing to admit to what they are. They are a form of domestic violence, but a very specific form, with different roots, different triggers, different modus operandi, and different ways of preventing them…
I am planning to pick up this thread sometime in the near future, since these issues now appear to be affecting Canada.

Tuesday Update - I think the only thing I want to add to this post is a short excerpt from ‘Infidel’ by Ayaan Hirsi Ali (where she references the political situation in Holland at the time):
“… I felt disappointed by the Labour Party. I had joined them originally because, in my mind, social democrats stood for reform. They sought to improve people’s lives; they cared about suffering, which I thought should have meant they would care about the suffering of Muslim women. But in reality, the Labour Party in Holland appeared blinded by multiculturalism, overwhelmed by the imperative to be sensitive and respectful of immigrant culture, defending the moral relativists…”
Sound familiar?
