2000 "HONOR KILLINGS" IN UK SINCE 1996

TIM BLAIR:

One in nine honour killings in the UK is carried out by hit men, he said. It is also common for the youngest member of the family to carry out the murder, with the others playing a lesser role.

Consider that statistic. It doesn’t refer to a total of nine honour killings, which would be horrific enough in a first-world nation; it refers only to a particular proportion. Total figures are massively worse:

Home Office statistics suggest that there are 12 such murders each year. However, according to research, the true figure is much higher. At a conference in Southampton last week, police chiefs revealed that they are re-examining 2,000 deaths and murders between 1996 and 2006 to establish whether they involve honour killings. So far, 19 have now been found to be honour killings. A further 20 involved some element of “honour violence”.

Still, mustn’t denounce them.

THE ROOT CAUSE OF "HONOR KILLINGS" IS ISLAM. NOT RADICAL ISLAM. ISLAM. THE KORAN.

DEAL WITH IT.
