Uh, not even close. In the USA, if a woman is bulemic it is most likely the cause of pressure she puts on herself, not forcibly. You ask a woman and see what she tells you. And as for violence against women in the west being the highest in the world, I would re-check yyour statistics. The statistics that are available tell a different story than you are telling, and this does not even include the sizable percentage who never come forward because of absolutely no protection from retribution. Read what I wrote......spousal abuse is highest in the US among westernized countries,not the world. If you have ever seen an honor killing in the west, it is almost certainly taking place in the muslim community. .........or in the backwoods of some small town. The good ole boys in TX who killed the black guy by pulling him behind their pickup thought they were doing an honor killing. BTW, by the time they got done, he was partially dismembered. Violence and primitive behavior is not confined to the Muslim world. Stop being an apologist for overt egregiously heinous behavior. Only when you stop singling out Muslims for behaviors that are common to all humans on this planet.
