American honor killings

Immigrants, as I read American history, have always brought their less-admirable behavior, along with their more positive hopes and dreams, to our shores.Why wouldn’t they? It’s human nature.

What’s  new about the latest Muslim honor killings— the beheading of an estranged wife in New York and the running over of a daughter who wanted to choose her own husband in Arizona—is that most of the legacy media does a quick, very short report and then ignores the troubling details. No hysterical commentary like after the Tucson shootings.

Gotta keep those Musslemen happy, you know, since some are so prone to explosive upset. But without the shame of publicity, it will take much longer for this old world behavior to stop.

  1. Publicity could be a bit of two-edged sword in this case. Perhaps a person like this craves publicity to look a hero for his co-religionists.

  2. So long as these folks of the same views remain a minority, publicity about the crimes will only work against them.

    The same thing happened to the segregationists fighting MLK, et al, in the 1950s-60s. They liked their apparent heroic stature until they began to realize that other Americans thought they were barbarians.
