WHAT “Honour??”
Well now, isn’t multiculturalism just such a wonderful thing? People from all backgrounds, living together in a lovely mosaic, in perfect harmony. And don’t worry; it’s not like they’ll be packing along any vile cultural baggage with them. After all, all cultures are of equal value, right?
Bullshit. 
In case you’re wondering just what the hell it is that set me off this time, there’s a 14-year old girl from Alliston, Ontario who is fighting for her life in Toronto’s Sunnybrook Medical Centre after being stabbed multiple times by her father sometime on Tuesday. Last I heard, she was listed as “in critical but stable condition.”
Kamal Khanna, 44, is charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and assault with a weapon. His sorry ass is in the slammer until he gets to spout his bullshit excuses at his bail hearing next Tuesday (gee, I wonder if the judge’ll just show him to the revolving door, or will he hold it open for the prick, too?).
And just why the hell would a man try to murder his own child? Gee, whiz, I dunno about you but I just can’t possibly imagine anything; anything at all…
Other neighbours speculated the attack stemmed from a cultural rift between father and daughter because “she didn’t wear what he wanted.”
Hey, waitaminit, you can’t say that! That’s bigotry! That’s intolerant! That’s cultural stereotyping! Stuff like that doesn’t ever really happen, the NeoConsâ„¢ just make stuff like that up to make poor little innocent immigrants look bad!
Do piss off. Of course the usual suspects will be bending over backwards to make this look like anything but an “honour killing.” They’ll call it “domestic violence,” a “cultural misunderstanding,” or “incomprehensible” … ANYTHING but what we all know it probably is. If anybody dares bring up honour killings, look for the multicult crowd to start hurling accusations of bigotry like a cranky, poop-flinging ape on angel dust.
Was it an attempted honour killing? Hey, I’m taking bets. How much do you feel like losing? What, no takers? Could that be because, in spite of all your rhetoric, you just can’t get away from the gnawing certainty that I’m right? It’s not like it’s the first time this shit has happened…
A 14-year-old female rape victim is strangled to death in March 2004 by her father and brother because she has supposedly tarnished the family name.
In April 2004, a man brutally kills his wife and daughter after finding out that his brother had previously molested them.
A teenage girl with a Turkish background has her throat cut by her father after he learns she has a Christian boyfriend.
All three cases — taken from a study by Memorial University psychiatry professor Dr. Amin Muhammad and resident Sujay Patel — involve unspeakable acts against females. And all were considered appropriate by the killers based on long-standing tradition and cultural beliefs.
While we’re at it: just why the hell are these things called “honour killings,” anyway? If you think there’s something “honourable” in murdering a 14-year old little girl, you’re a worthless piece of shit that’s not good enough to live in my country! Pack your sorry ass up and move to Outer Backwardsistan or wherever the hell it is that they put up with that shit, because you’ve got no God damned business being here!

There is no honor — ever — in murdering a female member of your family, no matter what you think she has done.
Ever. Anywhere.
Thanks for speaking out.
