Has anyone noticed how most of the reported honor killings occur in troubled countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Jordan and the Palestinian territory, or among people from those places? We rarely hear of them occurring in the UAE or Qatar. Is it because those latter places are rich and prosperous?
Actually, it's more likely the other way around. It's because honor killings and other forms of violence almost never occur in those countries that they have become rich and prosperous.
Peace is good for the country. Violence, including those within the family, disrupts society and causes nothing but destruction and desolation.
Think about it.

Today is Sept. 11.
Today, people are going about, thinking that their mundane, petty concerns are the only important things in the world.
Today, the Sunday funnies, of all things, showed me how wrong that is. Spider-Man is swinging over the New York skyline. He is angry because the Daily Bugle has hired another photographer as his official photographer, instead of Peter Parker. Then he realizes that he is swinging over Ground Zero. His mind goes back to that fateful day, 10 years ago, when the lives, not only of every American, but of every person in the world changed forever. And he realizes that his problems are nothing.

'Honor killings'
"Oh, my God! I'm dying!" were the terrifying words a 911 dispatcher in Dallas, Texas, heard over the radio, on New Year's Day 2008. Police traced the call to a parked taxi cab where they found the bodies of two girls. Amina and Sarah Said were dead, their promising young lives cut short by bullets fired by their own father.
Why am I so concerned about murders that occurred over three years ago, in Texas, thousands of miles away from my home? Why aren't you?
