TORONTO SUN: Last weekend I travelled to Dearborn, Michigan — the largest Arab Muslim community in North America — to speak at a conference on the issues of honour killing, and about an increasingly intolerant Islamic triumphalism that is emerging in the United States.
The organizers had chosen Dearborn specifically because of the number of Muslims in the area, and because a suspected honour killing had taken place there — one that the authorities had refused to treat as anything Islamic. It’s typical really; even though it’s estimated that 91% of all such murders are committed by Muslims in the name of Islam, we still pretend that such horrors are mainstream domestic violence, committed by all sorts of people from all sorts of backgrounds.
There was massive security at the conference because many in the Muslim world do not appreciate people discussing these issues. In other words, I and the attendees had to be protected in a democracy from thugs who wanted to silence us.
We heard stories from people who had experienced radical Islam first-hand. (+ video) » | Michael Coren, QMI Agency | Friday, May 04, 2012
