I wasnt trying to move anywhere, just posting something offhand and related. Its not my fault Vesayen seized on a typo, and then you started in on it.

BTW, CH and I are having an ontopic discussion of it, in case youre interested.

Yes, I appreciate it. Now if you would be so kind as to ask Kuci to join you.

A discussion of forced marriage seems like it would belong here as well since so many honor killings have to do with girls resisting forced marriages to foreign men they've never met and who are decades older. There is the claim that these girls are disobedient (and so bringing dishonor to the family) if they refuse the forced marriage while if they run away after the forced marriage (as many do) then they're trying to divorce their husbands and so are bring dishonor on the family. Talk about a raw deal especially since many of these forced marriages are just so the parents can make money by selling their teen daughter (who happens to have EU or US citizenship) to the highest bidder who wants a free ticket to the west.

I'm not sure this has anything to do with an arranged marriage. She can't even legally marry in Canada yet.

Kuci is quite capable of deciding for himself what to post about.

We'll agree to disagree on the matter.

What an islamophobic thing to report. No wonder that Muslims feel they need to take action.

Does anyone have a Winston translator?

I think Winston is trying to make a political statement about PCness, but the astounding stupidity of the comment is distracting me.

This is a serious problem in Israel, especially when you have whole clans of people who support such murders and provide cover to the murderers, sometimes out of fear, sometimes out of respect for tradition.

Only earlier this week a trial had a major breakthrough when some girl testified against her brother and uncle (or something) accusing them of murdering her sister over an 'honor' issue.

Another girl was accused as an uncooperative witness after she denied, in testimony before the court, things that she put in a written statement earlier.

maybe you should post a disclaimer in the OP of each thread, explaining which people you are interested seeing post, and what should they say

[Asher]

I didn't say I'm not interested in his posts, just that his post made no sense.

I thought that was obvious.

I have never heard much about honor killings being a significant problem in Indonesia, aka, worlds most populous Muslim country, or in the Southern Phillipinnes. This would tell me it's not a Muslim issue, but an older Tribal issue (wand sadly these remain very strong in Arab countries, Afghanistan, and Pakistan).

Oh thank God that Canada has not sunk to allowing people to marry corpses yet. That's definitely a comfort.

Honor killings sound like something a Klingon would do.
