Mary, a public display of one’s virtue may, or may not be a good way of proving one’s Christianity, (Are you are Christian by the way? And by what authority do you decide what’s property Christian, and what isn’t?)but it hardly seems vomit worthy. And, of course, the article wasn’t criticizing the dance from a Christian point of view, debating its pros and cons, but trying to draw an analogy between Christian evangelicals, and the people who honor-kill their daughters.
This seems to me a bit of a stretch—and the author’s indignation (and yours) seems a bit weird, in view of the very real, and horrendous, child abuse in the world today. If you really need to be feel sick over something, feel sick over that. Better yet, go get some pepto-bismol, soothe your queasy stomach and try and work towards eliminating child abuse.
