'Honor Diaries' documentary, created by 'anti-Muslim' group the Clarion Project, sparks backlash online.
US Muslim activists are using Twitter to criticise a film about so-called "honour killings" in Muslim-majority countries. The primary target is not the message of "Honor Diaries", which features women in a dialogue about domestic violence in Muslim-majority societies, but the film's creators, the Clarion Project.
The Clarion Project is known for its previous films, which include "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West" and "The Third Jihad: Radical Islam's Vision for America". The group's website says it is "dedicated to exposing the dangers of Islamic extremism".
