"Honour" killing neo-CONs and christian sharia won't be shrieeeking about.

Well, isn't this inCONvenient for all the islamophobes?
A woman in Turkey is awaiting trial after beheading a man who she says raped her repeatedly for months and [impregnated her]. Her lawyer says the woman killed the man to protect her honor.

Nevin Yildirim, a 26-year-old mother of two, lives in a small village in southwestern Turkey. She said the man, Nurettin Gider, began the attacks a few days after her husband left in January for a seasonal job in another town, according to a source close to the case.

Yildirim said Gider threatened her with a gun and said he would kill her children, ages 2 and 6, if she made any noise, according to the source. That was the first of repeated rapes over the next eight months, the source said. [...]

On August 28, at least five months pregnant by a man who she said continued to rape her, Yildirim said she decided she had had enough. Gider was climbing up the back wall of her house. "I knew he was going to rape me again," she said at her preliminary hearing August 30.

She said she grabbed her father-in-law's rifle that was hanging on the wall and she shot him. He tried to draw his gun and she fired again.

"I chased him," she said. "He fell on the ground. He started cussing. I shot his sexual organ this time. He became quiet. I knew he was dead. I then cut his head off."
How would Paul Ryan, Todd Akin and the rest of the Rapeublicans react if a US woman "stood her ground" in this manner?

They may be concerned that it would set a bad example of "frontier" type justice but more likely, they'd be afraid that other women might start defending themselves as Nevin Yildirim did.

Remember her name.
