The term “Honour killing” has always bothered me because
When it comes to its struggles against both man-made and natural disasters, Pakistan seems to have few sympathizers. The media makes little mention of the near-daily attacks on its cities and villages that kill thousands, and now Prime Minister Stephen Harper seems to be hesitating on announcing relief for Pakistan's flood victims.
I have been reading in horror, sometimes with nervous laughter, the many tirades against the face veil that a tiny number of Canadian Muslim women wear in public.
