In an barbaric and heartless act known as an 'honor killing' in Islamic circles, a Muslim businessman in Buffalo, New York chopped off the head of his wife.
Normally honor killings involve Muslim fathers killing a 'wayward daughter' in order to 'preserve the integrity of the family and Islam.'
But this time, apparently the man considers what he did to his wife was an 'honor killing.'
The head-chopper refused to answer questions concerning the nature of his relationship with his wife. Had he caught her 'going astray?' In the Muslim world that can mean anything from having an affair to engaging in 'inappropriate contact with men,' such as talking to them too much.
For the daughters of Muslims it may mean nothing more than adopting modern dress, speech, and customs.
But in the midst of this sickening act of barbarism, one would think there would be wall-to-wall TV coverage on CNN, MSNBC, and all of the news networks. So far, though, nary a word.
