Nearly 3,000 so-called honour attacks were recorded by police in Britain last year, new research has revealed.

According to figures obtained by the Iranian and Kurdish Women’s Rights Organisation (Ikwro), at least 2,823 incidents of ‘honour-based’ violence took place, with the highest number recorded in London.

The charity said the statistics fail to provide the full picture of the levels of ‘honour’ violence in the UK , but are the best national estimate so far.

‘Honour’ attacks are punishments usually carried out against Muslim women who have been accused of bringing shame on their family and in the past have included abductions, mutilations, beatings and murder.

Ikwro director Diana Nammi told the BBC that families often deny the existence of the attacks.

She said: ‘The perpetrators will be even considered as a hero within the community because he is the one defending the family and community’s honour and reputation.’

And that’s just in the UK. If you take in to count the number within the entire Muslim community, you could possibly times that number by 10 at least.

But, it’s all a cultural thing so it’s okay. Right, apologists? 

No, shit for brains, it’s not okay. It’s also not a “cultural thing” either, you bigoted troglodyte, it’s a crime embraced by a minority of Muslims who are right-wing extremists — you know, assholes who have a lot in common with guys like you. — Ryking

One would be hard pressed to find Tennessee State Rep. Rick Womick (R) having any Muslim friends.

On Veterans’ Day, Womick told Think Progress that troops who practice Islam should not be allowed into the United States military.

“Personally, I don’t trust one Muslim in our military because they’re commanded to lie to us through the term called Taqiyya,” he told TP reporters Eli Clifton and Lee Fang. “And if they truly are a devout Muslim, and follow the Quran and the Sunnah, then I feel threatened because they’re commanded to kill me.”

“You believe that should be forced out?” asked Clifton.

Womack replied: “Absolutely, yeah.”

This isn’t the first time Womack has shown absolute hate towards Muslims. This past July,he warned his fellow colleagues in the Tennessee statehouse that Islam was a threat to their lives.

There are no words. This man needs to read “Zeitoun” by Dave Eggers.

WIRED

vruz: so I guess this falls within the correct definition of terrorism of state and the sort of things an actual fascist state does.

The FBI is teaching its counterterrorism agents that “main stream” [sic] American Muslims are likely to be terrorist sympathizers; that the Prophet Mohammed was a “cult leader”; and that the Islamic practice of giving charity is no more than a “funding mechanism for combat.”

At the Bureau’s training ground in Quantico, Virginia, agents are shown a chart contending that the more “devout” a Muslim, the more likely he is to be “violent.” Those destructive tendencies cannot be reversed, an FBI instructional presentation adds: “Any war against non-believers is justified” under Muslim law; a “moderating process cannot happen if the Koran continues to be regarded as the unalterable word of Allah.”

I saw Ackerman post on Twitter today that he was going to break a big scoop on Rachel Maddow today and this is huge. This is the training police/FBI agents get on Islam and then we wonder why they entrap so many Muslims. They’re  being taught that Muslims are a subversive force who are dominated by their religion and incapable of rational thought. I could go on about Orientalism, racism, and idiocy, but I think it speaks for itself.
