Which is Worse, Honorcide Itself or Lack of Muslim Response to It?

"Peace will come when the Arabs start to love their children more than they hate us."

Attributed to Golda Meir, Prime Minister of Israel

If you do an Internet search for Aqsa Parvez or Amina & Sarah Said, you will notice Atlas Shrugs, Jihad Watch, Michelle Malkin, and other non-Muslim blogs among top results. Muslim reaction is scarce. Hoverer, when you find it, the articles seem to be focused not on honorcide itself, but on distancing honorcide from Islam. These articles are permeated with claims that honorcide is un-Islamic, that it has nothing to do with either Islamic culture or religion. The fact that most honorcides in the West occur in Muslim families (while Muslims represent a small minority of general population) is dismissed as simple domestic violence and not an honor-related crime.

After Aqsa Parvez was murdered, her disgraceful family placed a numbered marker on her grave:


Later, the family refused a headstone (that was offered to them for free); they seem to want to punish Aqsa even after her death. Aqsa's crime? Refusal to wear hijab. How many Muslim (so-called civil rights) organizations took up Aqsa's cause? None. When Pamela Geller started the Aqsa Parvez Memorial Fund, more than a hundred people donated money. Only two of them appear to be Muslims.

Golda Meir supposedly claimed that we hate infidels more than we love our own children. Muslim reactions to recent honorcides show even more disturbing trend: the infidels love our children more than we do. I just cannot wrap my head around it. Are we really that scared that image of Islam could be tarnished by these horrible crimes? Is protecting the image worth sweeping the problem under the rug and continue having our children and wives murdered in the name of family honor? Was not only Golda Meir right, but did she actually understate the issue?
