Must be the memo from the Muslim MSM ! ? ! <br />any ways here's my letter to the editor in response to Khan's article { unpublished } :<br />In her quest to address the ' cultural ' aspect of honour crimes, Sheema Khan manages to cover its ideological dimension in a burqua ! Why not make it a jihad, a spiritual struggle, refusing to give succour to this misogynic mind set. <br />Why is it Ms. Khan that a political, social, spiritual ideology that governs the mind, body and soul of its adherents cannot divest itself of this socio-cultural scourge ? Would Aqsa Parvez have found refuge at the local mosque, a voice to speak on her behalf to the alpha-males in her home, support for her western life choices by the imam ? Would sharia's scales of justice tip towards the submission of women to pious modesty, and honour of traditions ? <br />Sheema, the ummah { the collective of ' Islamic ' states } needs to acknowledge this defilement of the human spirit and pledge a jihad to eradicate it from its midst , that is your crescent to bear .<br /> <br /> <br /> Ms Khan do we have to draw cartoons to create massive righteous indignation on the world's streets over these social travesties ! ? !gamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03651668289325014703noreply@blogger.com
