Honor killings

Saudi human women's rights activist Wajeha Al-Huwaidar argues that, throughout the Middle East, both Muslim and non-Muslim men, for the most part dejected and defeated, can only be victorious by beating or killing women. The MEMRI translation of her article includes a link to a video of the April 2007 honor killing of a Yazidi Iraqi Kurdish girl who, at 17, made the mistake of falling in love with someone who was not Yazidi. Al-Huwaidar argues that women are also to blame for such behavior - after all, who raises the men and teaches them that this is acceptable behavior?
