Honor Killings and the American Left
Dennis Prager writes Hate evil: Case for Judeo-Christian values, part VII:
In much of the Arab and Muslim world, “face,” “shame” and “honor” define moral norms, not standards of good and evil. That is the reason for “honor killings” — the murder of a daughter or sister who has brought “shame” to the family (through alleged sexual sin) — and the widespread view of these murders as heroic, not evil. That is why Saddam Hussein, no matter how many innocent people he had murdered, tortured and raped, was a hero to much of the Arab world. As much evil as he committed, what most mattered was his strength, and therefore his honor.
Prager goes on to show how this compares with the American Left. Must read.
Yes it was a must read. Thanks.
