Viet-Justice

Doing the honorable thing may sound nice in concept, but there is nothing scientific or mathematical about honor. Do we need it in modern society? Do honor killings fall into this category? I do not believe they do; however in some parts of the world they are common place. As seen in this video we can see a human rights violation in progress. This 17 year old girl of Kurdish origin was stoned to death for having relations with a Sunni Muslim boy. What drives a society to the point that it hates women? We are definitely at war, but maybe not so much at war with terrorism as we are with the principals of science and secular society versus religious zealotry. The issue of science and religion will be the defining issue of our time. Terrorism, racism, and other issues will not really be so great in the scheme of things. In our own country we have the religious right attempting to stop scientific progress because of George Bush’s “Culture of Life” and outside our country we have religious groups that want to take us back to the stone age. All of which are being veiled under the right thing to do or the honorable thing to do.
