Thousands of innocent women are still being murdered in honor killing in the Middle East and Asia where the lunatic fringe elements of certain false religions are attacking and killing helpless and powerless women and the constitutional authorities have failed to stop these horrible and terrible crimes.

Ellen,
ReplyDeleteAn attack on one woman is an attack on every woman.
One only needs to imagine how horrible and terrible it would be to be a victim of such an atrocity.
We shall win if we do not give in to the perpetrators of these horrors and terrors.
I will read your book.
Cheers and God bless.
The STOP HONORCIDE! campaign was launched on Mother's Day 2008. The goal of the campaign is to prosecute honorcides to the fullest extent of the law. We want honorcide to be classified as a hate crime and we advocate for every existing hate crime legislation to be amended to include honorcide.

I will pray for you to succeed.
ReplyDeleteFor Muslims to be against Sharia is like challenging Islamic Law and Order.
Please, take care as you campaign for the reformation of Islam.
Cheers and God bless.
