Failed Culture Behind Honour Killing |
November 2010
The following is in response to a Hamilton Spectator article entitled, 'The Failed Culture Behind Honour Killing'.
Richelle Wiseman’s article which challenges the culture behind honour killing was both well written and thought through yet contained some inaccuracy. While she clearly states her stance (and Canada’s) against honour killing she attempts to spread the blame around to the point of including Christians of such hideous crime in an attempt to avoid Islamophobia. John chapter 8, Pharisees brought to Jesus a woman caught in the act of adultery and said that the Law of Moses required the she be stoned. They demanded of Him what He said was to be done with her. Jesus simply stooped down and wrote in the sand with His finger. They continued to press Jesus for a response and so He stood up and said, “If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her. ” Then He stooped down again and wrote in the dust. The accusers one by one slipped away until there were none left. He then stood up and said to her, “Where are your accusers? Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.”
