Don't want to say "me to" but I also have a number of posts about these "honor killings." I still don't know how they can use that word when there is none of it in an act like this.
How you could kill your own child is beyond me [so far I can't even think of it]. What kind of religion is this that people feel this action is required?

One nit, Tex
In your last para, you characterize this as "domestic abuse".
I think that far underplays the enormity of the issue. These people are worse than animals, and their "cultural norm" is no excuse, unless they're still living in the sh1thole country they came from.

One thing about Britain...
...that I've heard and that is they give long sentences and few get off on good behavior. Most serve the entire sentence. No death penalty but the next best thing. I hope they put these animals away for decades. DD

BrianR, that is the term that is being used for these crimes. But Jodi wrote it not me. But they can hang any term on it they want to it is still murder. A far cry from domestic abuse. What a crock that is. That's why I keep saying if that is their religion then stay where they are. I'm waiting for CAIR to show up with their crying towels.
DD, I have too. I wonder if they have the solitary confinment thing to keep them safe? These animals need to be in gen pop so they get the full experience of the rest of their lives.
Jev, I agree if they weren't happy with their arranged marriage then send her back but then her family would have killed her to save their honor.
Since they have none to begin with I'm not sure what they think they are saving.

Actually, I've read where Britain is letting prisoners OUT because it is too expensive to jail them.
irtexas, good article.
How someone could murder their child is beyond me.

Gunny,
The only thing I can compare it to is the perverts here that kidnap someone else's child and then whine because they had a bad childhood. They are all a bunch of cowards hiding behind some D/A excuse of how they were treated badly as a child. That would be filed under ok you only get one bullet not two. What kind of a man thinks his HONOR is damaged so bad that to kill his child will set him free? That isn't a human never mind the gender. Massive carpet bombing until nothing moves.

These so called
honor killings are beyond sanity. Someone who murders their own child for "dishonoring" them is beyond any reasonable thinking person's conception or imagination.
Where are the moderate Islamists when something like this happens? Why are they not speaking out other than Gabrielle Brigitte who regularly speaks out about these things?

Unspeakable
I can think of a lot of terms to describe murdering your own children but honor certainly is one of them.

Will the Media do its job?
It seems unlikely. Like all dysfuncitons of the left, this has the hallmark of calling something the exact opposite of what it is in reality.
There is no "Honor" in honor killings, but then there is no "Diversity" in the settings championing it either. I think the MSM will avoid shining a light on this under the guise of "Tolerance", another leftist doctrine.

Gunny, et al
Part of the problem is the traditional Middle Eastern/Islamic view of females as being less than second-class people, almost chattel.
So when you say "how can someone kill their own child?", you have to understand that girl children have very little value.

It is close to the time to "nuke" the entire Middle East (with the exception of Israel and now Iraq) back to the Stone Age.
The Radical Isalmists are worse than the Japanese during WW2.

Cowpens!
GG,
Yes I did in fact I just went back and went through again. I have a few good books on the Civil War and have to watch myself with history books or I kind of get lost. Have you ever read the Glendower Legacy? It's fiction (I hope) but it is a fast read. It goes back to Washington. It's hard to find and I have had 3 copies and like a D/A keep lending them out never to return. It really gets your grey cells thinking.
I used to go to this used book store in Long Beach, NY and some how he always managed to run me down a copy with a lecture to stop lending them out. I hope your going to do more of the stories.
As far as the muslims that's their problem they never left the stone ages. Women are of less value than anything else they "own". I've had them tell me that in their country they would kill me for daring to speak to them the way I have about certain things. My answer is always the same "your not in your country so deal with it." I had one nut tell me that he could beat me and no one would help me. I told him that's fine and I hoped he could out run a bullet. Now what's your problem and let's get this conversation over.
As a supervisior I had the high call nonbrain nonfunctional charmers to deal with. Enjoyed that job. To bad it went to India and now Mexico.
Please let me know when you do another one.

You Are Probably Correct...
they never left the stone age; however, at one time they had a civilization in the Middle East. Unfortunately, they let it be "kidnapped" by the radicals. (Omar Kayham's poetry is worth reading.)
I have not had a problem with the muslim immigrants, so far. In Mississippi, they realize that most people are armed. They generally don't offer to "kill you", knowing that you could be "packing".
BTW, I have not read the "Glendower Legacy". I will check on it at the local library. Also, in April I know I will do another story about the Battle of Shiloh.

nuke most of North Afreaka, the mid-east (minus Israel only), and the muzzie former soviet states, Afghaniland, Pakiland, and on down through Malaysia....anywhere there are large numbers of muzzies. Just make sure that the oil producing areas aren't heavily damaged, so we can claim the spoils of war.

GG,
I doubt if the library will have it but you might be lucky and they do. It is old but like I said a quick read.
It is taking for ever to get any thing to work with these errors. I can't even get to half of my email. I've got some of it run to ground but trying to get to Microsoft or TH is impossible. I don't thimk that what ever TH is paying for their services but they aren't getting their money's worth. You would think they would have noticed by now. But then I am talking about empty suits. Oh well.
Have you ever gone to Williamsbergg? I liked the governor's house. The entrance is great. Just walking in and looking up is pretty amazing. It is where they stored the weapons. They are all real and in working order.
Let me know the when you do the next post. Stay safe.

Honor killings
I'm not sure I should point this out, but, there is a positive aspect to killing muzzie wimmen. Two, in my twisted mind.
1) A dead muzzie woman can not give birth to any more potential muzzie terrorists and
2) muzzie terrorists in prison can't make any of the dead muzzie wimmin pregnant.
What I would like to see is all those 'tolerant femlibs like Pelosi,Fonda,Boxer, Feinstein, and rest, married to a muzzie guy, and see how long it took before killed by their husbands. Now, THAT would be a well justified honor killing. and accomplish 1 and 2 above.
