Opera House Cans 'Honour Killing' Talk

[icyfroth]

The public face of Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir says "hysteria" has won out after the Sydney Opera House backflipped on plans for a public talk on honour killings.

Its inclusion in the line-up sparked a barrage of criticism on social media and condemnation from the NSW government, with Minister for Women Pru Goward branding it "abhorrent".

Mr Badar had indicated he did not intend to defend honour killings.

His tweeted response to one critic who wrote, "Any one who condones or justifies the murder of defenceless women is a gutless creep", was: "I'm with you on that. Calm down."

So he might have chosen a title more appropriate and his talk might have gone ahead.

Exactly, except I believe that it was the organisers of the event that chooses the titles. They could have changed it and allow the discussion to continue.
