Dude, do you know what a theocracy even means? Lebanon isnt even technically a muslim country, let alone a theocracy. Syria, Egypt, Azerbaijan actively suppress Islamist parties, they are the opposite of theocrats. Understand what the word means before deploying it.Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Qatar, UAE, Bangladesh, Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, etc etc etc
Well..Yes it was violence. But it was retaliatory violence in response to Moslem aggression. Much like the crusades.
On topic: any father killing his kin is fucked up, but sand people are gonna sand people no matter what religious book they read.
I agree with you, its cultural. But thats a HUGE difference. Its irresponsible to conflate culture with religion, and you cant address something without identifying the root cause. Thats all i'm saying.How about a shared culture in the region where this behavior is most prevalent? As in India and Pakistan? I dump all over Islam for its blatant abuse of basic human rights, but honor killings and FGM are a cultural phenomenon as far as I can tell.

Ok, so murdering your raped daughter, thats bad. But murdering your daughter because she fell in love with a muslim, no big deal. Thanks for clearing it up.
Works for me. And that's the reason Kafir K disagreed with you when you said everyone would jump on the "it's Islam" bandwagon if the religions were reversed.I agree with you, its cultural.

Here in Canada we've had several cases of Hindu honor killings, but no Muslim ones. From my reading the highest concentration happens in India and Pakistan.If it is only cultural , why are the countries that honor killings are most prevalent also Muslim countries.
Islam is the kind of religion that enables attitudes that condone honor killings.
He was Israeli. I support that ban.
An Israel ban should've been in place for a long time for violating the human rights of the palestinians and causing world instability.
Maybe if you isolate the population a bit. This Arab-Israeli family did it so do Arab-Israeli Christians commit honor killings at similar rates? I wouldn't know.Are you implying that honor killings are perpetrated by Christians at a similar rate as by Hindus and Muslims? Or even at a remotely comparable rate?
But they really do repress virtually all Islamists in Egypt. The Brotherhood are the more tame ones and they're getting imprisoned and exiled. The nastier ones are dealt with even more harshly as expected.Suppression of different types of Muslims is not really the suppression of Islamism. That's like saying Saudi Arabia is against terrorism because they're against ISIS, despite the fact they support other terrorist groups more along the ideological lines of their ruling House.

About fucking time
Actually quite the opposite. Egypt has become not only more autocratic than what it was under Morsi but even worse than the Mubarak years. But I suppose if you only look at it through the lens of Islam vs secularism and not what's actually happening to the people in Egypt yeah its some sort of progress I suppose.well, that's one. Progress of a kind.
Oh of course I don't buy any of El Sisi's BS, the guy's a dictator who wants to play stooge of the West. I'm often in the minority on this forum when I say his coup was bad for Egypt and that Morsi was the lesser evil.It should be noted that Egypt has exported lots of terrorist ideology with the EIJ, but you are right, as they have morphed in with other groups like Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood. Also Al Sisi goes after everyone who disagrees with him on anything, so I am doubtful of his need to rid terrorism from his country resulting from his need to see moderation in Islam and the like.
Hitler/Himmler the Catholic Christians murdered more in a decade than the entirety of Islam did in a century
