Qandeel Baloch Honour Killing
I think the world seemed a better place when our own News didn't report on such countries as Pakistan ...Qandeel Baloch: Pakistan social media celebrity 'killed by brother'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-36814258
Ms Baloch's murder was condemned by filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, whose documentary A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness won an Oscar earlier this year.
"I really feel that no woman is safe in this country, until we start making examples of people, until we start sending men who kill women to jail, unless we literally say there will be no more killing and those who dare will spend the rest of their lives behind bars," she told the AFP news agency.

Do we want such mindsets to impose their views on all here? I certainly don't!

I don't it is particularly bad thing.India has a staggering problem with acid attacks on women and rapes.
It often highlights these problems to their own goverment to act on these poor souls when they know the world is watching.
Even if it is a few. Also opens the way for campaigners.
Open ones mind to barbaric acts and not live in a cosy world.
You may not care. But I do:-/

We have to start fighting back and stating that we do not want this kind of behaviour anywhere near us and to put a stop to pandering to the very people who condone it.

I care very much that the West should hold onto it's own values and not get swallowed up by the barbarism of the cultures of the Middle East.We have to start fighting back and stating that we do not want this kind of behaviour anywhere near us and to put a stop to pandering to the very people who condone it.

Girls who have refused arranged marriages have been killed here, but if they are residents of our country they must
be allowed the equality that all other women have here!
