When the BBC recently reported on the staggering fact that at least 2,823 mainly very young women were brutalized in Britain last year by their own families in so-called honor crimes, the news organizations didn't mention these crimes were perpetrated overwhelmingly if not totally by Muslims.

So noted Robin Shepherd of The Commentator (via Gates of Vienna), pointing out also that neither did Sky News mention "the religion of peace" in its account; and nor did the Right-leaning Telegraph.

Sure, this is  just another iteration of the by-now old story of critical omission of Islam made under ideological pressures, fear and self-censorship, but it's so important to sit up and take notice again. There is a  very dangerous tendency to say, What else is new? and let it go.  But such boredom or complacency marks the dead man. Gotta keep bucking and kicking and making noise: What? The parliament/Congress hasn't put a halt to Islamic immigration yet? Hasn't started drilling for oil? Are you crazy? Do you want us all living under sharia by popular (democratic) demand?

That's the empowering response. It's fair to say that we're on the wrong track when the media of record can't even acknowledge the salient link among a horrific new crime that only came to England in the first place with mass Islamic immigration.

Shepherd puts it all too well:

This is how societies go down: when matters of the profoundest significance to their character, and potentially their very existence, have been rendered undiscussable by the people that set the terms of public debate.
