Approving Of Honor Crimes?

According to this post at World Divided, citing this article at the Daily Mail,
Police and authorities 'afraid to act against honour crimes in case they are called racist', claims report

Honour killing victim: Surjit Kaur Athwal disappeared on a trip to India in 1998
Teachers, police and councils are afraid to take action against so-called honour crimes for fear of being accused of racism, it is claimed.

Pastorius, I'm in a lousy mood tonight so forgive me for being rude, but why the hell doesn't "God" do something about it Himself?

Of course it's stupid. It is also cowardly, short-sighted, and inhumane. If these people ever had the courage to stop and think about what they are doing, or failing to do, they might realize they regard women as some subcategory of being inferior to men of all races.

Sometimes I think John Lennon was right.

Political correctness is no excuse for failing to protect these at-risk girls and women.

Woman is the nigger of the Islamic world. Don't you agree, Ellen?

Pastorius, just a suggestion for IBA's consideration:

Run a little competition on synonyms for the word "woman" in the Muslim world. I'd begin with "asset".

What I think would also be interesting to see is the synonyms contributed by Muslims.

Vadim,
I like the idea. One thing that's really cool about Islamofascists is they will tell you exactly what they are thinking.

This is why any talk about the liberation of women being key to defeating Islam is nothing but hot air. Muslim women will be liberated after Islam is defeated. (If they are lucky and there are enough of them left.) There is not the chance of a snowball in hell of women being the catalyst that brings about the change because they are totally vulnerable from withint and have virtually no support from without, no matter how many leftard suburban housewives wax indignant about what happens to the female characters in "A Thousand Splendid Suns".

Like the contest idea. How about "woman = inferior grade of goat".

AOW,

I actually don't know anything about that.

Muslim Arabs were basically the first who began the enslavement of Africans (East Africans, to be more exact) in masses for commercial purposes, long before it was taken up by the Western World.
