The thing is I think the article may be bullshit in that I don't think they have any real idea how many honor killings are done in that country. I suspect it is much much more. I think the article was written so it could be shared via social media and other means. Notice how short the article is and how easy it is to read. I think the article's purpose is to raise awareness and (hopefully) prod people into action. Though I prefer accurate news stories I shared the article anyway on my FB page. I know too many people who cringe at my insensitivity to Islam.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
