I listened with great interest. I am quoting material from two slides for a lecture that I will give next week at Sha’ar HaNegev’s psychology clinic in the Otef.

I listened with great interest. I am quoting material from two slides for a lecture that I will give next week at Sha’ar HaNegev’s psychology clinic in the Otef. I was struck by the fact that the police would not intervene as I had that experience with Nazir Afzal who who was in charge of the Center for Social Cohesion - the name says it all as Ayaan noted. I did a theory of imagery for the Islamic suicide attack linking domestic violence murder-suicide in the West and honor killing to the underlying visual template of the suicide bomber dying in a “death fusion.” cf. The Banality of Suicide Terrorism. Nazir’s study of geomapping showed that where there were jihadis there was domestic violence and yet he refused to speak to the matter. I wonder if he was involved in the massive and tragic cover-up? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazir_Afzal “If you had a map of the UK showing the location of Islamist groups - or terrorist cells-- and you had another map of honor-based violence and you overlaid them you would find that they were a mirror image; they would be almost identical. It could be that this is simply where the South Asians live - or it could be something else - it could suggest that there is a strong link between these two attitudes.” p.86 quoting Nazir Afzal in Crimes of the Community, Centre for Social Cohesion, James Brandon and Salam Hafez, 2008.
So I wrote to Nazir and this was his reply: “I recognise the links myself but am wary of discussing them further without hard evidence.” email 2008
Nazir Afzal, OBD, British Police, Dir. of Division for Honor Killing
One wonders what more "hard evidence" was needed? I note that the Egyptian sociologist Prof. Halim Barak said – if you have violence in the family, you will have a violent society.
