As many as 2,000 "honor" murders in the UK over the past decade

The Guardian (via Tim Blair) reports that a special task force of police and prosecutors has been formed in Britain to deal with the crisis of Muslim honor murders that's been taking place there for more than a decade (I never refer to these horrific cases as simply "killings". This is MURDER of helpless females we're talking about here, not hoodlums and terrorists gunned down in self defense). It remains to be seen just how convincing this'll be, especially when you consider the exact number of victims:
Home Office statistics suggest that there are 12 such murders each year. However, according to research, the true figure is much higher. At a conference in Southampton last week, police chiefs revealed that they are re-examining 2,000 deaths and murders between 1996 and 2006 to establish whether they involve honour killings. So far, 19 have now been found to be honour killings. A further 20 involved some element of “honour violence”.
Got that? Two-thousand victims, and maybe more.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
