Hey Gals, Check This Out II

Missed this story when it first came out. Not that we're judging, but we think it kind of sucks to be a woman in Turkey:

A survey by a university in Turkey has shown almost 40% support for the practice of "honour killing"... It questioned 430 people, most of them men. When asked the appropriate punishment for a woman who has committed adultery, 37% replied she should be killed. Twenty-five percent said that she deserved divorce, and 21% that her nose or ears should be cut off.

We like how the survey mentions that most of the respondents were men: as if women in the Muslim world haven't bought into the crude misogyny of radical Islam.
