This is what awaits America if we continue down the path we are on. Perhaps the honor killing taxi campaign makes more sense to those who would rather these desperate, brutalized girls get murdered by their families than "offend" Islamic supremacists.
In New York, Islamic supremacists defaced our ad campaign by cutting out "leave," so that the ad reads "Islamsafely.com" But not to worry, we bought the URL for that too.
Helping Girls in Trouble (hat tip Fjordman)
The number of young women seeking help from the Mädchenhaus Zurich - Switzerland’s only refuge for girls - is on the rise, according to latest figures. They are often victims of physical, psychological or sexual violence – normally carried out within the family. Some are fleeing from forced marriages. Zurich was shaken in May by the case of 16-year-old Swera, of Pakistani Muslim origin, who was killed by her father with an axe in what has been described as an honour killing. The well-integrated teenager had been in conflict with her immigrant parents. This kind of extreme case is rare, says Karin Aeberhard, co-director of the Mädchenhaus Zurich. “This was tragic and would have been a typical Mädchenhaus case, but often a girl can get help before the situation goes that far,” she told swissinfo.ch. The Mädchenhaus is made up of a residential section - whose location is secret to protect its residents - and a counselling office, which is also has 24-hour telephone availability. In all, 292 girls, mostly aged between 14 and 17, received advice in 2009, a ten per cent increase on 2008. Around two-thirds were of migrant background.

Honor killing has no part in religious freedom.
