Shafia Honor Killings

Posted by on January 31, 2012 · Leave a Comment 

For every imam out there tonight defending Islam, there are thousands of Muslims who hear very different words from the Quran.

Like so many other murderous options, it’s the interpretation of the ‘Holy Word’ that’s important.

For the longest time I just figured they were a bunch of up-tight prudes that couldn’t get laid and thus didn’t want anyone else to get laid either. Granted, a lot of them these days do fit into that category, but I don’t think that’s how the whole thing started.
