    you mean like this law, from the story, BTW:

    "Turkey has revamped its penal code and imposed life sentences for such killings, known as honor killings, regardless of the killer’s age."

    Please. Ten pages of rage and angst against the Muslims for their terrible treatment of women, but not one glimmer of recognition that violence against women is a way of American life.

    And to Daddy'sNotComing---laws didn't help the 2.3 million women who were victims of violent crimes in America last year.

    I want to throw out another thing:

    As somebody pointed out, none of us lives in the Middle East. Many Americans' knowledge of Islam stops and ends with what they hear/read in American media. If Fox News, for instance, is your only source of information, you might think that all Muslims are hell-bent on destroying America. If you live in the Middle East, it's entirely conceivable to think there are folks there who believe 1/All Americans are Christians and 2/all Christians are just like Pat Robertson, Fred Phelps and Timothy McVeigh.

    This kind of narrow-minded, good-guy vs. bad-guy, black-and-white thinking, if allowed to proliferate, will wind up ruining hundreds of years of enlightenment and progress that has been made against racism, sexism and many other -isms.

    Yeah, I like to wear green myself. Doesn't make me sub-moronic.

    Don't you have a cartoon to watch?

    SNAP! Says the dude with Boy Darth Vader in his sig.

    The only thing missing is anatomically correct Smurfette and a tribute to Destro. You could go with the cartoon version of the Iron Sheik, since that's where your knowledge of this topic begins and ends.

    Pay close attention, WHA73. This is why your reasoning could be used to teach "Fallacies 101" at a remedial logic course at Bob Jones University.

    Here we have a picture of Christianity.

    (Koran 8:55-57)
    "Lo, the worst of beasts in Allah's sight are the ungrateful who will not believe."

    "Those of them with whom you made a treaty and then at every opportunity they break their treaty and they keep not duty to Allah, If you come on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are behind them, so that they may remember."
