Dear Sir ,
I think the
only way to
stop the honor
killing is to
erase the
honor from our
souls !!
How do you
expect such a
thing to
happen . In
the states
they are
woundering why
we kill for
honor . It is
the same here
in the middle
east . We are
woundering how
can a man and
a woman has a
full
relationshipwithout
marriage ?!!!
The Problem
is not with us
.. it is their
problem if
they doesn't
understand us
.. But the
final world
will be ever
is : as long
as there is
honor there
will be honor
killing .
Thanks |

Dear
Egyptian
Castle,
I initially
sent in my
vote for your
site at the
Arab Top 100
without much
thought, but
after viewing
the segment on
Honor Crimes
which you've
set
up access to,
I can vote
again for your
site with
utmost conviction.
We, as
Egyptians and
Arab-Americans
are very lucky
to have
such
a rich and
fascinating
history. But
our history
also plagues
us with
primitive
ways of
thinking and
desparate,
inhumane
models of
survival
designed
eons ago by
small nomadic
societies that
lived harshly
to survive
a
harsh
environment.
It is
unfortunate,
but many of
our people
continue
to
live in harsh
environments,
where they
feel powerless
and helpless,
dwarfed
by Western
powers that
they can't
even begin to
comprehend.
And hence,
they hold on
to desparate
and primitive
ways to give
them some
sense
of security.
It is only
through
education and
revolutionary
thought
that
we can begin
to mold and
evolve our
culture, and
your use
of
the internet
to encourage
education can
only be
commended.
Thank you
so much for
placing the
documentary on
Honor Killings
on
your website,
and I
encourage you
to continue to
bring
convtroversial
and ethically
challenging
topics in our
world to the
forefront
using your
site.
I hope that in
the future
design of
Egyptian
Castle, there
will be
a
large section
dedicated to
the darker,
less
understood
sides of our
culture
so that we may
use tools of
our
magnificent
Arabic
tradition
(those
of philosophy,
introspection,
and
discussion) to
challenge
those
traditions
less virtuous.
Sincerely, |

I applaud
the women who
were
courageous
enough to air
this
documentary.
It is about
time that
something is
being done,
this is just
the beginning
and it is our
time to speak
up!!! Many
women have
been victims
to these
savages who
claim that
torturing
women and
treating them
like animals
as well
killing as the
act of god is
a disgrace.
God is not
evil! and does
not condem a
child because
she grows to
be a women.
This is God's
creation and
the one who
assumes the
power of god
are the ones
who should be
condemned to
death. These
men are
carrying out
devilish acts
and should be
hung for their
thoughts
alone. These
families are
not honorable
they are
dispicable and
every member
who feels that
they have a
right to kill
should be spit
on and be put
to death. |
