Blogger roundup on the Texas honor killing here, but this makes perfect sense to me:
What was it that that Muslim spokesman said after a Canadian Muslim killed his daughter? Oh yes: This isn’t a problem with Islam or seventh-century Arab traditions; this is a teenager problem.
And by blogger roundup, I mean of the quick summaries and links to posts variety, not the Saudi variety. How old is Fouad al-Farhan, is that a teenager problem too? It’s all about the religious tolerance, baby.
It’s pretty obvious to a trained eye that the murders of the Said sisters in suburban Dallas were dishonor killings.
