Honor killing has been a big part of many cults and religions since way back when.

Islam seems to be exercising a fair share of this practice lately but why do we (or should we) care what goes on in those countries or religions?

Well, perhaps because the practice is no longer limited to “those countries”  for one thing.

Some question how the act of wanting to fit-in or be “just like” all the other citizens of the new country by the daughters was not foreseen by their parents/fathers before making the move?

Exactly how did they think their daughters would want to be dressed like, etc.?

Why exactly did these folks move to western countries if they intended to bring the old country and practices with them? By murdering their daughters and sisters and getting a life sentence, how exactly have they provided a better life for themselves and their families?

Other folks see this sort of behaviour as additional proof that we need to do away with all organized religions.

France has been debating a ban on women wearing veils in public for some time now.

The nonbinding resolution amounts to a policy statement and is widely expected to win approval in a vote Tuesday night in the National Assembly.

The next step will be discussion of a draft law on banning burka-like veils in public. The government is still drafting that bill, which is more divisive than Tuesday’s resolution.
