There is a living tradition of honour killing. Finland is no exception.

We all know deep inside there is no honour in killing. It makes one wonder as there is much violence and killing in the world someone must find killing an honorary deed, to defend one’s honour one can do terrible things. Death penalty is one way of keeping honour killing culture alive. Life for life, face for face. As woman for many is less than a man it may be easier to kill that woman so that the man can live in honour, in the kind of honour he finds honourable. Some think there is honour in silence. By silencing the shameful one is one way of killing, to turn one’s back for the one who is not wanted, who is trouble, who brings out the trouble and those who do not want trouble are allowed to do whatever they want by the permission of the rest of the good people.

During a visit to Washington in January, the 60-year-old Wallstrom told the United States Institute of Peace (USIP): “We are going to pursue a feminist foreign policy.” But since she took the role of Stockholm’s top diplomat, Wallstrom’s “feminist foreign policy” appears to be causing many problems for the Nordic Kingdom.”
