How to discuss an honor killing without mentioning the "M" word
In Canada last week, a father, his wife and their son were convicted of the 'honor killing' of three teenage sisters and a 'co-wife.' The killers are adherents of the religion that cannot be criticized. But I'm sure it's all just a coincidence.First the AP report on the MSNBC site which does mention a religion but not the one you think:NBC didn't do any better with it. Let's go to the videotape.KINGSTON, Ontario — A jury on Sunday found an Afghan father, his wife and their son guilty of killing three teenage sisters and a co-wife in what the judge described as "cold-blooded, shameful murders" resulting from a "twisted concept of honor."A religion is finally mentioned in the report but only the one in which is politically correct to do so:
The jury took 15 hours to find Mohammad Shafia, 58; his wife Tooba Yahya, 42; and their son Hamed, 21, each guilty of four counts of first-degree murder in a case that shocked and riveted Canadians from coast to coast. First-degree murder carries an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years.The prosecution said her parents found condoms in Sahar's room as well as photos of her wearing short skirts and hugging her Christian boyfriend, a relationship she had kept secret....

Sun News in Canada is being very very vocal and strong on this issue.
Alas, it is not clear if any other news service in Canada is doing the same.
The CBC at least quoted the father in full saying he did it for Islam, and for his honour. That even if he goes to jail at least he still has his honour.
It does seem like the CBC may regret publishing that direct evidentiary quote.
SDAMatt2a has a channel where he uploads lots of Sun News content.
Michael Coren, John Robson, Brian Lilley, and Ezra Levant are doing a great job of standing firm on this topic.
