AMW may have villified victims of honor murder
As told in a letter by the aunt of the girls to Atlas Shrugs, it should be noted that the girls are not even Arabic, despite one of them having dark skin. But here's what really disgusting, as Phyllis Chesler tells:
The producers did not want to be charged with 'Islamophobia" by showing what a real, full-blown honor killing looks like. Further, they wanted to appear and present a "balanced" re-creation even if they had to make things up in order to do so. Thus, they showed the two girls as plotting revenge or preemptive self-defense against their father. If only Sarah and Amina had followed through on this imaginary course of action, they might be alive today. But, knowing how American law works, they might also be in jail for life.If I'm correct here, in all their stupid moral equations, they may have villified the girls instead of helping them. In that case, the program is worthless, and should be condemned for their cowardice. I therefore suggest contacting them and telling them how ashamed they should be for possibly harming their reputation and even endangering many more girls in similar situations.
