A few things to keep in mind:
1. Honor killngs are routine in the Muslim world, cultures animated by 7th century Islamic values of shame and honor.
2. Honor killings are on the rise in Europe as waves of Muslim immigrants willfully confine themselves to ghettos surrounded by walls of sharia.
3. Western feminists—which is to say establishment lefties—have abandoned Muslim women to their gruesome fate. To protest this mass murder would constitute, in their inverted narrative, Islamaphobia and neo-Colonialism.
4. Instead, Western feminists have joined in the gang rape of Israel—“apartheid,” “occupation, “free Gaza, blah, blah, blah—the only country in the Middle East that does not tolerate honor killings.
5. Honor killings have nothing to do with Islam. (Somebody really has to invent a sarcasm font.)
Mohammad Shafia, a 58-year-old Muslim man, has been charged with murdering his three teenage daughters in an apparent honor killing. Shafia is now on trial two years after the young girls were found dead — along with his first wife — in the family’s vehicle back in June 2009.
Police wiretaps show an unrepentant Shafia in the days before he was officially charged. Disturbingly, he can be heard saying that he would take the same actions again — even if his daughters came back to life 100 times.
The crime was committed in the Rideau Canal, which is located in the Kingston, Ontario, area. Shafia, who moved to Canada from Afghanistan and who is polygamous, was also heard after his arrest telling his second wife that their daughters had brought shame on the family. Newser has more:

The West sees this as a love story gone bad. This type of thinking is not an aberration but the rule. This mindset operates in other areas of life. This is what Western minds cannot understand. This is why they are unable to understand Israel’s problems. The same mindset that places honor above human life is the same mindset that sends rockets into Israel.
Europe cannot discuss these issues because it is against the law. In North America we still have a chance.

Fortunately, the French-Canadian media is also giving the trial consistent coverage. Both print and television.

Yes, it’s a good sign that Canadian media are covering this atrocity without simultaneously apologizing for it, which has become routine in the U.S.
Good to hear from you. Hope all is well with you and yours.

There is a female Muslim in Canada, Irshad Manji, with some major cohones.
Her book, The Trouble With Islam Today has gotten her death threats and I believe she has to travel with a bodyguard.
I believe she was interviewed on 60 Minutes a few years ago.

They, I think, are more deluded than cruel, although cruelty is the result. They, at least, are not murdering their own offspring.

That’s because they usually DON’T HAVE offspring……

That depends on whether you view their “All hail all abortion all the time” stance as a paean to filicide. (Sorry, Robert–if this is out of bounds, please delete it).

Post modern feminism has devolved into advocating and providing industrial levels of abortion. Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, would be very happy because she advocated abortion for blacks based on their inferiority as a race. Currently, most abortions in the US are performed on black women.
The convergance of Liberal and Nazi ideology.
