More on Islamo-Fascism

From the English version of Der Spiegel comes this disturbing March 2 article:

"In the past four months, six Muslim women living in Berlin have been brutally murdered by family members. Their crime? Trying to break free and live Western lifestyles. Within their communities, the killers are revered as heroes for preserving their family dignity. How can such a horrific and shockingly archaic practice be flourishing in the heart of Europe? The deaths have sparked momentary outrage, but will they change the grim reality for Muslim women?"

Read the entire article here.

And here are some some anti-violence groups from a variety of religious perspectives:

Sikh Women

Muslim Peace Fellowship

Christians and Muslims for Peace

Just Peace

Global Peace Works, for peace among differing religions

Council for a Parliament of World Religions

Center for Reduction of Religious-Based Conflict
