Just for argument’s sake, even if honor killings are “cultural,” even if they are a hold-over from tribal societies, the fact is that Islam has been, not only the only official religion of countries practicing and exporting honor killings, but also the predominant cultural societal influence, their formative element. There has never been any significant attempt on the part of major Islamic schools, scholars and leaders to abolish, in practice, the “cultural habit” of slaughtering women for “impurity.”
Pesta does mention:
“Although honor crimes aren’t officially sanctioned by Islam, they’re associated with predominantly Muslim countries.”
Yet she cannot bring herself to admit that Islam itself, and not Middle Eastern difficulty with getting used to America is at fault.
So, what do we do? We must have to have the courage to acknowledge that it is the Islamic concept of woman and her relation to men and society that generate, justify, and facilitate honor killings. Laws directed at honor killings that do not recognize them as Islamic will be as effective as AIDS cures that pretend HIV is unrelated to the disease. Next, we must enforce prosecuting guidelines that considers Islamic motivation for honor killings, not as a mitigating, justifying factor, but reason for harsher penalties.
Finally, we must adopt the suggestion of Geert Wilders and stop importing honor killers. We do not allow illegal drugs to enter the country, we must stop the importing of the ideology that allows, even encourages men to murder women who do not conform to Sharia. If we do not want to live under Sharia Law, we must have enough love of our Civilization to speak the real truth about honor killings. We must stop killing ourselves by welcoming those who embrace and work for the extension of Sharia Law, and all its barbaric fruits, into our country.
