Here's the view of the Muslim's Women's League

In various countries throughout the world, particularly in the Middle East and parts of South Asia, women who bring dishonor to their families because of sexual indiscretions are forced to pay a terrible price at the hands of male family members. Attempted murder and other forms of corporal punishment have been reported. The most severe manifestations of punishment affect only a small percentage of women, even though the notion of family honor and shame is extremely important in most communities of the Muslim world. Women from other faith groups may also be subject to similar attitudes from within their own communities in those countries. Clearly, the prevailing view that devalues and belittles women is derived from sociocultural factors that are justified by a distorted and erroneous interpretation of religion, especially of Islam.

Perhaps, as Mod God implies, it is a little like looking at a car crash - I know that in the past we have not always had our happiest times in discussing politics or complicated religious differences here, I'm happy to discuss it further by PM if anyone wishes so we should stick to the words.

It sounds like an oxymoron to me like "friendly fire" as previously discussed.

Shall we leave it there?
