When There Is No Honor In Honor

Oh yea - more evidence that Islam is the religion of peace. Have to wonder about a person's concept of "honor" when it demands a cowardly attack with acid against a man for being friends with a woman.

First from the U.K. According to the Times On Line, two men have been arrested for attacking a male friend of a Muslim woman. Both of the attackers are reportedly related to the woman:

The Danish Asian man is in a serious but stable condition in hospital after an incident in Leytonstone, East London, three weeks ago. Sulphuric acid is said to have been thrown in his face and he was stabbed twice in the back.

The 24-year-old, being treated in a specialist unit in Essex, is now blind, his tongue has been destroyed and he suffered 90 per cent burns.

Honor through disfigurement by acid - have to admit the concept not only escapes me, but disgusts me.

From Canada comes this story of another suspected honor killing - of a woman and her three teenage daughters. The suspected killer? Why the husband and father of course.

There is a real problem with people who think they have the right to kill and/or disfigure others in order to regain their family "honor" - a practice found only among those who follow Islam. There is a bigger problem in a religion where the followers will not condemn this practice daily. It is far past time for the "moderate" Muslims to address this problem.
