Why, here in the West, are we unwilling to ask this question: Who will protect women from the laws of men?

Dr Farrukh Saleem, of Pakistan, is not afraid:

Honour killing is our export to Canada. Women who do not wear hijab are not virtuous. Hijab is a Muslim woman’s identity. Hijab is religion. Hijab is the sixth pillar. Hijab symbolises sexual modesty. The West is conspiring to crush Islamic identity. Fact or fiction?
********************
Is denial an option? Who will take the honour out of these killings? Who will expose the horror from under the hijab? Who will protect women from the laws of men?
Read his entire column.
