Christians are being persecuted, says former archbishop of Canterbury

[Ken Burch]

51. Nobody was saying that other cultures could NEVER be criticized.

It's more about what is done in the name of changing bad things within other cultures. What you are running into is a deep well of fully justified suspicion about this country taking up the "We have a civilizing mission" mindset. That mindset always puts us on a slippery slope to imperial conquest.

Also, if you remember early 20th Century European countries, you would recognize that "honor killings" are the equivalent to the way that rhetoric about the alleged bayonetting of Belgian infants by Imperial German troops was used to whip up fervor for British and then U.S. involvement in World War One.
Every demagogue in American politics that wants even bloodier U.S. involvement in Iran and other Middle East countries references honor killings to get people baying for blood.

And again, honor killings have nothing to do with Islam. They have appeared in cultures around the world(including the cultures of some "Christian" nations-and they predate the arrival of Islam in what is now the "Islamic" world, which means they were happening when those countries were Christian(that was the majority religion in most Near East countries at one point)and that the Christian authorities in those countries must have done nothing to even try to stop the practice.
