Video:Muslim Women Hide from 'Honor Killing' Relatives RT.com
The fundamentalist Islamic culture, whether the politically correct among us care to acknowledge it or not, continues to be rife with the barbaric practice of "honor killing." In the fundamentalist Islamic culture, because the life of a woman id worth only half that of a man, the man views all related females as property. This facilitates arranged marriages, forced intercourse and a generally oppressive existence for fundamentally Muslim women, including the practice of "honor killing." In an honor killing, male members of a devoutly Muslim family believe they have the right to kill related females who have "dishonored" the family name, and especially the males of the family. Honor killings are not only prevalent in the Arab Muslim world, but have spread to locations where Middle Eastern Muslims have immigrated, places like Canada, Europe and the United States.
