A case of Shoot the Messenger, not the Message

But if you look at the problem, it existed long time ago and in varying cultures. According to my research, it started in Africa long before Islam arrived there. It is still practiced in non-muslem countries in Africa.

Some facts about the abuse of women in the United States

With all respect, I thought you would present a history of honor killings, the motivations and roots. Why the article about abuse of women in the United States?

For fun. LOL

no, no.Moghrabi. What I mean is it human nature to use religion, culture, previous abuse, etc as an excuse for doing or not doing something.

We currently have a federal and provincial jail system full of people who have successfully learned to blame others for their shortcomings. We have entire ministry's dedicated to keeping victims..victims. Without the victims we'd have a lot of people on ei.

I agree. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
