It's a horrendous crime and as a father of 4 daughters one that I worry about I think that the sentencing for rape is in general far too lenient when you consider the damage that it causes chemical castration on top of stiff custodial sentences suddenly becomes a very attractive option.

As for the subject of honour killings it really does raise the question of whether or not we should require as a prerequisite of immigration into western countries that immigrants from places that have these cultural practices renounce their previous culture and have compulsory education in the culture,language and history of the country they wish to live in,in other words compulsory integration.It sounds harsh and intolerant but how else can we stamp these practices out or show our rejection of such practices should we place sanctions on the countries that tolerate these practices?

Here in Denmark there have been gang rapes of Danish women by Muslim men(last year the Danish police statistics say that 65% of all rapes in Denmark were committed by Muslim immigrants)plus honour killings and declitorisation and defibulation these practices have to be eradicated.
