A broadbrush coverage of another charming cutom of many Arab Islamic lands. Does your sister flirt with men, got to shoot or stab her to death to protect the Islamic family "honor".

These societies are stuck in the pre-middle ages. If they are humiliated by the West, its because of their own actions.

Zahida Perveen, a 29-year-old mother of three, was brutally disfigured and underwent extensive facial reconstruction in the United States.

Her story was covered by a woman's magazine, I think it was Glamour ,in the June or July 2001 issue.Here is more about her horrific story.

I've seen freepers declare Islam to be a "beautiful" religion because under it, abortion and divorce are banned, and young girls are protected from losing their virginity.

On the positive side maybe this will slow the rate of reproduction of people in Muslim countries.

And because it is against women instead of a race, none dare call it mass murder.

Crimes of passion, which are treated extremely leniently in Latin America, are the same thing with a different name, some rights advocates say.

The leniency with which "crimes of passion" are treated usually applies to both men and women perpetrators. Not at all the same thing. But a good way to drag in a Western or semi-Western society as being equally guilty.

Interesting that they didn't bring up the old "unwritten law" of the US. Perhaps because it isn't even unwritten anymore.

Obviously these women had a faulty foreign policy which made it justified.
