You may not care, but honor killings are extremely wide spread. Just like rapes of non-believer women.Honor killings," as the phenomenon is known, usually involve women being murdered, usually by brothers and fathers, for having sex outside marriage, dating, refusing an arranged marriage, wanting to go to university or even having been raped. The practice is not uncommon in traditional, male-dominated Arab societies.
People who ignore this are enabling it.Lack of awareness and statistics
Though experts say that honor killings are on the rise in Europe, the problem is hobbled by a lack of awareness, mainly because the issue remains largely hidden from public view.
In 2000, the United Nations estimated that around 5,000 girls and women in at least 14 countries, among them Pakistan, Jordan and Turkey, were killed yearly because their families felt they brought dishonor on them.
But statistics in Europe are hard to come by given the fact that some honor-related crimes are recorded as simple murders or domestic violence.
It's the vocal minority amongst them, people. That ALWAYS happens with any group.
In this case, said minority is annoyingly loud, and any controversy it creates ends up being in their favor. And they know it.

Freedom of speech allows them to protest, but not violence. The moment they resort to violence I'll be right behind you on the "deport them".
But, my freedom of speech also allows me to ridicule & condemn these people. And should the situation arise, that a member of these extremists actually want to have a civil discussion I'd be happy to oblige them.

it really doesn't make sense, they are allowed to come here, they get welcomed in, and most likely have a much better life than they would in their home country, and then they say how much they hate it here, if its so much better in pakistan or where ever they came from, why not just stay there?

USA actually has freedom of speech though, the UK does not really have freedom of speech.
what i dont understand though, is groups like the EDL get arrested when they say simmilar things about islam, and this group doesn't. i hate bothy groups just as much by the way. we should send both to the sahara and let them fight it out.

We do, we just have less stupid people who claim to know the law despite living in a caravan their entire lives and then we don't listen to them on top of that. We also don't let them form their own political parties (I won't name them but basically every brit knows which ones I'm talking about). There's such a thing as too much tolerance and I personally think America has that with everyone thinking their opinion is entitled to be considered. Listened to yes but not considered, when it comes to reality. It's a stumbling block. We don't tolerate half the crap that certain American groups get away with.
why do like 90% of the woman in the video have prams lol :S
Must have just started it from a terrible position :S
