| Trying to be politically correct has nothing to do with the awareness that there are cultural aspects to honor killings. And you're not gonna put a stop to anything is you're lumping a whole culture in with one of its nasty aspects. It's certainly not gonna endear anyone to the wouldbe victims who, for all we know, aside from the honor killing aspect (which I'm not saying is negligeable), quite like their own culture.
So I don't think it's nonsense at all to say that there needs to be an awareness and a respect of the cultural element involved, even if the practice itself is appalling and should be stopped by pretty much any means necessary. __________________  Sunny
