A Practical Approach to Talking About Honor Killing

By Deepak Chopra, Jim Buck and Rinde Pasori
Recently, a story appeared in Huffington Post about a 16 year old Turkish girl who was buried alive by her father and grandfather for having talked to boys. The West rightly finds this a horrific practice. However, many in the West also misunderstand and conveniently condemn honor killing as a practice of Islam. The mistake with this condemnation is that Islam does not permit or condone honor killing. However, it is precisely this misunderstanding and ignorance that allows many in the West to participate in a climate of hate, mistrust and even the idea of war against all of Islam.

Looking for Career Direction

I have completed my Engineering degree. But I’m not able to choose what to do after getting my Engineering degree. I joined a job but left it in few months because I found no interest in it and I thought that it’s better to do something of your own than doing a 9 to 5 job.

I don’t find myself suitable to take up any of the options available. Like if I think of doing an MBA I feel that being an introvert and reserved person I won’t be good at marketing.
I also feel that there might be no point in doing a masters in the same technical field in which I did Engineering because then also I will have to do the same type of job which I already left.

I have been sitting idle at home for last one year. I just can’t figure out what to do ahead inlife . I don’t have any direction to move on . Please help.
