That would be a very very long thread.....

Now that the thread has been cleaned out, I will hope that you all refrain from going off topic, responding to off topic, making personal attacks, responding to personal attacks and in general requiring me to return and take up more of my day. I do have a few other things to do around here.

If your post is missing, it is one of those typical reasons. I could have removed the whole thread, but thought it a worthwhile topic and didn't want to close it. Please don't make me regret spending so much time saving it.

Thank you

Here's a recent article from UK paper The Guardian on the topic of 'honour killings'

"...It may come as a surprise to some to see that India (>80% Hindu), and the two adjoining countries, Pakistan and Bangla Desh (both >90% Muslim) share the dubious distinction of being at the centre of the 'honour killings' world.

If you are really about stopping 'honour killings', and this information doesn't cause you to question the OP's focus on one religion as the alleged cause of this horror, I really don't know what will. But please feel free to check out the website and find out for yourself.

And yet the two women from India, which is 80% Hindu, were in fact Muslims.

So one would than have to check what percentage of honor killings that transpire in India can be attributed to the 20% of Muslims which make up the population...My guess, way more than 20% of the honor killings lay at the feet of Indian Muslims. waaaaaay more.

Nice try tweaker. Come back when you have something meaningful to offer to the conversation.

Or better yet, start your own thread and you can feel free to discuss all of the fucked up shit that Hindus partake in.

Sorry domiguy, this one is not interested in this area for the sake of "trying" anything.

My personal interest is in ending this horrific practice for once and for all.

I am interested in assessing the facts and trying to devise realistic strategies to consign this obnoxious practice to the trash can of history. I am not interested in "guesses" or in cherry picking the facts to pursue some vindictive prejudice against any group.

As you have just made clear, your interest is limited to punishing Muslims. While I make no defence of Islam (and given the choice would much prefer a world without organised religion of any sort) I have no desire to participate in any endeavour that sets out to use the victims of 'honour killings' to promote a sectarian hate-producing agenda.

I hope that one day you will see the bigger picture that lies beyond your self imposed blinkers. Thank you for a frank exchange.

Yet, that is exactly what you are doing, and what Domi and at least one other has pointed out to you.

Huh? Where has he said that his "interest is limited to punishing Muslims"? I think he said that it appears to be more common in Muslim culture (although not exclusive) than other cultures, and he'd like to limit the discussion to Muslim cultures for that reason.

That would be nice.

Good example of a broken clock lol. I found myself in agreement with Firm on that point - Rule made a few good points although its a shame its mixed in with his bigger cosmological picture of genetics/circumcision etc.
