Multicultural Murder-Cult: Honor Killings Come To Britain

Here's the thing: if you're dedicated to the principle that all cultures and cultural practices are equally valuable (except if the cultural practice comes from an "oppressed" culture, in which case they're both equally valuable and more valuable at the same time), how the hell do you say that butchering women because they have sex or have been raped is, oh, what's the right phrase?, the skullfucked mayhem of primative retards?

In the summer of 2004, Manna Begum was in love with Arash Ghorbani-Zarin, a young Iranian studying in the city of Oxford. Her Bangladeshi parents had arranged for her to be married, but she wanted nothing of it.

Ms. Begum's parents forbade her to see Mr. Ghorbani-Zarin, but she ignored their wishes. Upon discovering in August that she was pregnant, Begum and her boyfriend decided to get married, according to testimony given in an Oxford court last week.

Three months later, Ghorbani-Zarin was killed and Begum's father and brother are now on trial for the murder - apparently the latest in a series of brutal honor killings to take place in Britain.

"The relationship with the girl brought shame and dishonor on the family," prosecuting lawyer Julian Baughan told the court. "That drove the accused, led by the head of the family, to murder Mr. Ghorbani-Zarin to vindicate the family's honor."

The number of such "honor killings" carried out in Britain is unknown. But in late 2004, British police began reexamining 117 murders to see how many were motivated by honor.

I'm really having trouble reconciling the left's innumerable "Take Back the Night" vigils and Vagina Day street theatrics with their lack of furious condemnation for vile primativism like this.

What is monstrous for a caucasian to even contemplate is apparently not even all that blameworthy for a non-caucasion to practice -- with full moral support from his family and cultural brethren.

Thanks to RCL.

At Least The British Have Their Priorities Straight: They've been reluctant to investigate lunatic "honor killings" of women, but their banks are phasing out piggy banks as giveaways and advertising images so as not to offend The Religion of Perpetual Outrage (TM).

You know what else is offensive? Killing a woman because she doesn't want to marry you.

Thanks to utron for that tip.
