The definition of 'Honor'
still working to wrap my mind around the warp
Horrifyingly childish in its calm descriptions of sociopathic behaviors lauded as “service to God,” this piece triggers my mental-Penn-voice to scream ‘Bullsh!t!” But, maybe no. Given reports from the EU about families willing to sacrifice one child to kill another in service of their “honor,” perhaps the stories of luring young gullible Christian women into conversion then tossing them into the street for ‘innate disloyalty’ aren’t so far fetched.
On top of which, the “kind” German authorities look on the murderous man-children as “victims.”
Rejecting this practice, and the ‘justifications’ given for it is not “racist.” The practice would need to be addressed with equal ferocity of it were carried out by squeaky-blond Aryians or Swedes. What needs addressing is a behavior. The beliefs behind it are equally corrosive and vile, but Thought Police has never worked—not in Western civilization.
The German weekly Die Zeit reports that the percent of schoolgirls wearing headscarves in the Berlin district where one Muslim woman—Hatin Surucu, mother of a 5 year old—was killed has gone from virtually none to about 40 percent in the past three years.
Hatin Surucu
Effective, that terrorism.
