Point Blank Honor Killing

(Ankara, Turkey) Be tolerant of the family values of the religion of peace if you want. I can't even stomach the thought. Here, a 15-year-old girl was murdered for honor.

From Middle East Times:

The young girl, from a mainly Kurdish town near Turkey's eastern border with Iran, was murdered by an elder brother Saturday, press reports said. The victim, named only as Naile, had apparently not been aware that she was pregnant until she started feeling unwell and was admitted to a hospital, where she gave birth to a boy, the reports added.

She later told her mother that the pregnancy had resulted from a rape. When other members of the family heard the news, the elder brother shot her dead at point-blank range in a street of the town, and then fled.

The Vatan newspaper quoted the local public prosecutor as saying that the family were believed to have convened a meeting at which they designated the brother to kill the girl, in order to remove what they saw as a stain on their honor.

Sick, absolutely sick!

Nevertheless, reading about this latest honor killing I was struck by the irony of recent news reports that many Western women are converting to Islam because it is so glorious and wonderful and loving and peaceful. Who are these women and how can they ignore honor killings (of women), stoning to death (of women) and beatings (of women) imposed by omnipotent Islam?

Maybe they just don't know that Muslim women are constantly at risk of bodily injury and even death if they are perceived to misbehave. Get a clue, ladies, and realize that converting to Islam establishes lifelong candidacy for abusive and potentially deadly treatment.
