Video: With the Islamists’ Rise to Power, Turkey Became the World’s Leading Hotspot of Honour Killings
Islam Watch 11 April 2012
By M. A. Khan
To educated Muslims, honor killing has nothing to do with Islam and Turkey is the only "role model" Islamic country, because in all other Muslim countries, honor killing occurs. Unfortunately, after the Islamists came to power in 2002 and opened the gates of gradual Islamization of Turkey, after 8 decades of strict secular rule, Turkey has risen to be the world's "number one honor killing country", with a killing rate 5 times higher than that of Pakistan, known to be notorious for honor killing.

Honor Killings Grow in the West: Islam's Gruesome Gallery
Atlas Shrugs 2 April 2012
By Pamela Geller
The horror of these young girls -- terror-stricken victims, who live in homemade concentration camps -- is given the imprimatur of the West in its complicit silence. The media goes to extraordinary lengths to whitewash these crimes and disconnect the motive for these murders. The West looks away as more and more girls fall victim to the sharia in the West.

Honor Killings Grow in the West: Islam’s Gruesome Gallery
FrontPage Magazine 27 March 2012
As Islamic honor killings continue to rise in the West and on U.S. territory, our media and higher literary culture remain completely silent about them.
While our own president gets personally involved in the Trayvon Martin case, joining the race hustlers that have set out to convict George Zimmerman based on narrative, not evidence, the world is waiting for him to breathe one word on behalf of Islamic honor killings victims.

Gates of Vienna 21 March 2012
The BBC recently aired a Panorama documentary about "honour crimes” in Britain. The link is only usable for viewers in the UK, so I haven’t actually seen the program. However, excerpts were made available to Vlad Tepes, and he has made a brief video from them.

A Muslim Love Story
FrontPage Magazine 15 February 2012
By Daniel Greenfield
William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet concludes with the words, "For never was a story of more woe, Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.” Fortunately for him, Shakespeare had never paid a visit to Pakistan where all love stories end in woe and young lovers tend to die not in overwrought murder-suicide pacts, but in Karo-Kari honor killings by their own families. The Muslim versions of the Montagues and Capulets don’t drag their children home and berate them; they hold a session and decide that they should die.

Independent.ie 8 February 2012
You probably saw last week the terrible story of the Shafias. Mohammad Shafia was an Afghani, who -- after making money in property in Dubai -- emigrated to Canada.
With him he brought two wives. Rona Amir Mohammad, his first, had been unable to bear children and he had taken a second, Tooba (Muslims are permitted four), by whom he had seven children. Rona, who was passed off as a cousin, helped to rear the family.

The Mistreatment of Women in Muslim Countries
Family Security Matters 7 February 2012
By Shari Goodman
In examining the attitude of men towards women in Islamic culture it is important for readers to note that Islamic culture is derived from the Quran and codified into law by Sharia which is the civil code for the Quran. It codifies into law every aspect and action of a practicing Muslim's life. Within Islam, there can be no other law that supercedes Quranic doctrine;

As Canada continues to pour troops and money into American wars and intrigues in the Muslim world, the media focusses on so-called honour killings.
Afghan immigrants Mohammad Shafia, 58, his wife Tooba Mahommad Yahya and their 21-year-old son Hamed were found guilty in a Canadian court Sunday of first degree murder in the 2009 "honor killing” deaths of four female family members, and sentenced to life imprisonment. 
Normalizing the Kingston Honor Killings
FrontPage Magazine 2 February 2012
By Bruce Bawer
Last month, after the Costa Concordia fiasco in Livorno, Gregoria De Falco – the port official who ordered the cartoonishly cowardly captain, Francesco Schettino, to get back on his ship and aid in the rescue effort – became an instant hero. But De Falco’s wife dissented, saying it was "ridiculous” to call her husband a hero. "The worrying thing,” she said, "is that people like my husband who simply do their duty every day, immediately become idols, personalities, heroes in this country. That is not normal.
