Bret Stephens’ “The Foreign Brides” (Wall Street Journal, May 2, A17) reports how Turkish immigrants in Germany engage in what we normally think of as TPB (Typical Palestinian Behavior). 55 so-called “honor killings” were reported during the past six years.

Usually the perpetrator is a brother, acting at his father’s behest. The Turkish community tends to treat these young killers as heroes.

We doubt sincerely that these so-called honor killings were perpetrated by the descendents of the Turks who gave the British and ANZACs such a rough time at Gallipoli in 1915. Meanwhile, “Turkish law will allow even a nine-year-old girl to marry.”

The subject of foreign brides broke wide in the German media last year, when a 28-year-old Turkish man took his 11-year-old wife to a registry office in Düsseldorf to get her an ID card. On that occasion, the girl was detained by the authorities and deported to Turkey.

…The rise of fundamentalist Islam also had an effect. Religion became the primary marker of individual identity. Codes of family honor and standards of female purity, to which Ms. Kelek’s family had once been relatively indifferent, became important.

Militant “Islam” = pedophilia, “rock spiders,” kiddie porn, child molesting, and child rape
