Re: Response to "The Tragedy of Honour Killings" National Post article 


HMV (Honour Motivated Violence) is indeed an atrocity for which few of us can even comprehend the enormous evil related to the depravity of mankind.

Presumably the perpetrators of this despicable evil originated the "Honour" term. Wouldn't we be wise, in our western society, when communicating about this issue to more appropriately define the term as "Dishonour?" It seems at the outset to be a terrible injustice to ever refer to any such thing as "Honour."
