İn Turkey, honour killings are not as common as you think, they happen only in certain parts of the country. On the other hand child and woman abuse is very common everywhere as you say.ı cant deny this. but ı have strong suspect how islam can be related to this ugly tradition. ı read kuran and ı certainly dont get such a messege. but most of the people dont read Kuran anyways.

And if you play your trite card of higher Islamic moralityhere, then the most interesting question would be what sentence your so called "prophet" would get in today's 99.8 % Islamized Turkey for raping the 9 year old Aisha ? Would a Turkish court be satisfied with 15 years in jail for "the seal of the prophets" or would they decide to stone the bastard instead? ...Or you would rather cancel the law to set free your holy supercriminal whose conduct Hüseyin Üzmez and thousands and thousands of undiscovered Moslems like him are just imitating ?

1300 years ago average human life was 35 years. so it was normal to merry children after they start menstruation. İn those years ım sure ,in europe people were merrying like that also. your problem is that you are trying to catagorise people according to their culture. this is wrong a christian can be a good or bad person, so is a muslim. you also judge history with todays conditions,like so called armenian genocide.ı dont think that arab culture is disgusting as you claim.also Ataturk is our founder and hero no matter what his belief is. thats his problem.
