...or anywhere else.

A 17 year old girl was murdered for having a presumably romantic relationship with a young man from another religion. She is a Kurd, he was allegedly a Sunni.

This sort of thing happens here once in a while. For example, Matthew Shepard was killed for being gay.

The difference? Shepard was killed by two drunk rednecks who sought to "rob a gay guy."

The girl? She was killed by a mob of over a thousand people, including local police officers.

Our country isn't always great. I am appalled by recent attempts to legislate bigotry and homophobia. I'm disgusted by the anger directed at illegal immigrants, which is bigotry disguised as something else.

The ideals of western civilization stand as the greatest political achievement in history - the victory of reason, logic and liberty over dogma, religion, fear and unfettered emotions.

You won't get arrested for kissing a girl in public. You won't be tortured and then executed for having sex with the person you love.

It's not just "a different culture." It's disgusting. It should not be tolerated by anybody.
