What more can I say, that my friend Tarek who provides me with a lot of info for my Op/Ed pieces, says it all. Way to go Tarek.
One can only imagine what the Left's non comments to stories like this are doing? Perhaps having their enema bags cleaned, Tofu is a Bitch to clean., all sticky with no substance, much like Left Wing Ideology.

How to cure the honour killings ‘cancer’

Almost as soon as news broke that the murders of three Afghan-Canadian teenage sisters and their father's first wife in Kingston, Ont., were possible "honour killings," some in the Muslim community reacted in the most predictable fashion: defensiveness and denial.

Instead of voicing outrage at the murders, two Muslim callers to my CFRB radio show in Toronto slammed me for raising the subject, and suggested I had some hidden agenda. "This has nothing to do with Islam," said one caller, despite the fact no one on the show had, to that point, even mentioned the word "Islam," let alone accused the religion of sanctioning honour killings.

The callers were not alone. The head of the Canadian branch of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) told the CBC more or less the same thing - that the story was unrelated to Islam, which apparently does not permit honour killings.

We do have to stop this cancer in Canada. It is a sad state of affairs. I will be watching the trial of this case with interest, especially the defence.

Yeah, one can be sure the defence will have a deck full of Multicultural Diversity Race Cards to hand out

It's amazing how the community can band together to defend what happened, but not to try and stop it, or even profess any outrage at it. That's what's really sad to me.

Well Amy that is par for the course in some cultures, they will defend it to the death, unfortunately Death to them means killing the innocent, certainly not themselves the bloody cowards

Establishment of ule of law and order, end of mob rule and culture, with steel fist will bring end to such practices

Here is where the death penalty really serves a need. Giving these devils life sentences doesn't quite do it.

These are killers operating with deliberation. The death penalty may make some of them into martyrs in some sickies' minds, but it is such a final statement on the injustice of taking the lives of these innocents that the reverberation will push the younger members of this culture of "Honor" to reevaluate.

I am sure that a lot of you will disagree, but here is where intimidation works and we don't have time to cure the whole culture of this madness, letting more young women die.

I figure dropping them out of a plane at 20,000 feet without a parachute seems fitting, especially if we drop them over Afghanistan

This has got to stop, violence against women. Do these men realize that are killing off future brides and mothers. The worlds population is going to be so off balance. Now I know why so many women are using sperm banks and not getting married.
