Are you for real? I don't care if the standard in the world was to choke someone alive with a rubber chicken, murder is still extreme. 15 murders in Basra a month, out of a city of nearly 2 million....is still a lower murder rate on an annualized basis than Buffalo New York, and three times lower than the murder rate in Baltimore.
The reality is that some people will reinvent the meaning of words and wind up looking ridiculous.
Man, you apologists for Islam twist yourselves in the most ridiculous pretzels in your attempts to rationalize the irrational....
Iraq has an atrocious murder rate, of which these honour killings are only a small part.............
15 a month? Because they show their ankles????
Try again.......lol
