Honour Killing

Passionate Story Dept: I couldn t have been more pleased with the clear and passionate story on page 1 on Monday. As a woman, mother of a daughter and an immigrant, I am still worried and offended about the use of the term honour killing and the discussion regarding the validity of that term, according to The Star. However, any immigrant already knows that when you move to a new country, you must adapt to the new laws and culture. Canada is very welcoming and accommodating and killing for honour has never been a core value. It shouldn t be up for discussion and re: Shafia case tests us all, Editorial Jan. 31 I appreciated the remarks made by Crown attorney Gerard Laarhuis in his ruling. He stated, This message sends a very clear message about our Canadian values and core principles in a free and democratic society that all Canadians enjoy and even visitors to Canada enjoy.
