On Monday, USA Today published a feature article on ‘honor killings.’ I won’t bother to excerpt the article here, but it will suffice to know what the tone of the article was by naming the writer’s three major sources of expertise on the subject: Robert Spencer, Phyllis Chesler and M Zudhi Jasser.
For those who are new to the debate and aren’t familiar with these names, Robert Spencer was identified as one of the most prominent Islam-bashers in the US according to the website smearcasting.com; Phyllis Chesler has made a series of bizarre comments about Islam and Muslims (see here and here); and M Zudhi Jasser showed he was preposterously ignorant and misinformed about ‘honor killings’ when he told Fox News that slain Bridges TV cofounder Aasiya Hassan was a victim of one.
