Boyfriend, of Turkish "honor killing" victim, speaks out

The body of Ahmet Yildiz, Turkey's first suspected victim of a gay "honour killing," has been removed from the city morgue.

The remains of the 26-year-old physics student had been left there by his family, a move common in "honour killings" cases.

His body was found in his car.

His partner, who held a German passport, left the country on the advice of the consulate.

I'm not sure "killing" is the right word either. It was more of an execution.

And the Turks are our allies, yet we will say nothing. I suspect acting-President Cheney is sitting there rubbing his chin and trying to figure out how to get his little puppet to introduce this practice into America's culture. It would sure solve some of the right wing's current problems is the voices of America's conscience could be silenced.

This can't be called honor killing. It should be called disgraceful murder. I want to believe that there's no backwards society... and it is just a culture thing... but this proves wrong my belief.

This stuff is Islamophobogenic!

Muslims need to get together to denounce this in a public and very conspicious way.
