Grim run down on "honor" killings.

Here's a good piece on the execrable "honor" killings in Muslim countries. Basically, the murderers walk free after killing their own daughters and sisters.

Remember than when you hear a Muslim crow about the decadence of Western culture.

What kind of a depraved, pathetic prick do you have to be to lie awake at night and think about how you are going to kill one of your flesh and blood loved ones because of what some abstraction, "they," is going to think about an ALLEGED or SUSPECTED moral transgression.

Apparently the option of simply defending your family members against vicious, whispered accusations just doesn't occur to these Saladins. The very thought of a defense of one's own is intolerable. The male mind in this culture does an immediate core dump and goes right to the "kiss the ass of strangers" mode.

Not men but weak slaves to community opinion and laughable concepts of "honor."

Can't get it up these days? Why not tell her dear father that she's sleeping with someone who can? Dad will jump around like a dancing doll on a wood board at the very thought and do The Only Conceivable Thing. You know. Like slit her throat, Dude. End of problem.

Did someone just say "really sick culture"?

Are we looking at an authentic short-cycle, rumor-action social "construct" (SCRAC) as the socioethnohistorians might call it?

Rumor of infidelity? Kill the bitch!

Christians pissing on Muslim graves? Riot, arson, murder if you please!

Koran down the tubes? Kill some innocent fellow-Muslim bystanders!

Teacher teaching girls in school? One-man posse time!

747 into the Twin Towers? Immediate block party!

The long-cycle, gather-evidence, consult statute book construct (LOCGECSBC) appears not to have been inculcated by the caliphs on down through the corridors of time.

But as a civilization it can't be beat.

And that's a fact.
