Trump’s mentions of ‘honor killings’ betray the truth of his ‘Muslim ban’

Leti Volpp writes for The Hill, Feb. 22, 2017

There is an additional and little noticed piece of evidence within the executive order itself, which buttresses the idea that the order is indeed a ban on Muslims, and not merely a “geographic” restriction. The executive order, “Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States” invokes, twice, the idea of “‘honor’ killings.”… Why is this significant? Honor killings … are mistakenly thought to be a uniquely Muslim practice and specific to Muslim communities.
