ABSTRACT

This [honor killing] happened not because she was behaving “Western.” Not all Arab and Druze women are religious. This happened because she is a woman … every woman has the right to her life. This was a killing in cold blood of their own people. No Druze man has ever been killed because of this. They change their names, go out with Jews, and no one ever accuses them of dishonoring the family. This is a danger to all advanced women, to any woman who wants to be free.
