we don´t hear about rape/incest cases in the West, because by the time the kids are old enough to have sex they are sleeping around like mad anyway. A German teeny magazine recently put teeny sized condoms into their supplement, because they said the adult condoms are too big for the 12-year-olds! There is little need for incest, if sex is so freely available.
when i was a student my university professor told us we should visit the Springfield ( Missouri) shopping mall on a Saturday morning, and we´ll observe the results of inbreeding quite nicely, he said if the Ozark Hillbillies don´t bother their sisters, then they´ll go for their cows!
My point is this---incest is always a problem in thinly populated, rural areas, or in extremely repressive societies. It is also more likely in large, extended families. When my uncle tried it on with me, his daughter simply said: ´That pig will do it with anyone if he is drunk!´ We learned to avoid such situations, it was part of growing up and knowing not to trust adults.
So i believe you that there may be a high rate of incest, whatever it may be, but it has nothing to do with being Turkish or Kurdish, but with the socio-economic background the family lives in.
That was the point basically.
But however incest or which part of the world has the higher rate of incest should not have been a base of any argument in the first place..
But I agree about the idea that "in repressive societies it is more common".
I think at some stage, the point was honor killings and why they were happening in arabic countries and mainly in islamic world..
It will be a bit difficult to come and say ´honor killings in the west are as common as in arabic countries or in Islamic world´. (I mean you can say it..but.. it will be a lie and you will know it is a lie!!!)
There is a truth, there is the problem we have to acknowledge first *acknowleding is the first step for solving this..* and then fight it..
Denial wont be helping the future cases..

Turks embody everything Christians love to hate--- steamy harems, jealous husbands, a preoccupation with sex, violence,... so the Christian flirtation with the Kurds is a ´your enemy is my enemy´ reaction.
