Honor killing has nothing to do with Islam. The Quran does not condone honor killings and honor killings are not specific to any one religion or part of the world.
They are symtomatic of a more widespread cultural acceptance of violence towards women in South America, Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. For instance, in the areas of the Middle East, where muslims practice honor killings - so do the Christians and other religious groups. In 1991 the Supreme Court of Brazil finally struck down "defense of honor" as a justification for murdering a wife yet courts still show leniency and fail to prosecute and convict men who claim they kill their wives because of their alleged infidelity. In India, a bride can be killed if her dowry is deemed insufficient.
Those who think honor killing is an Islamic aboration seem like they care more about denouncing Islam then do about helping women who are the victims of those horrific practices.
Its too bad Islam does not agree with you, its too bad this father who followed Islam did not agree with you. I am also sure you thoughts would of comforted the daughter had she lived.
And while you are at it, can you tell me why the Christians and Druze in Palestine and Lebonon practice honor killing?Uh, you do realize you state "Honor killing has nothing to do with Islam" and follow this statement with " areas of the Middle East, where muslims practice honor killings".
Islam is the Moslem faith, Islam does have something to do with Moslems, this killing was in accordance with the Moslem's faith in Islam
Morons can't read. Morons seem to think I said Muslims don't love their children. Moron's also think there is relevance to a 'you too' argument. Morons can't focus.So typical. The cowards cannot focus on the topic - a MUSLIM'S egregious violence toward his child. Somehow these cowards think that the 'you too' argument is logical. It's not. And, by using it, the cowards give tacit approval to the egregious behavior.
Don't acknowledge their irrelevance, except to say it is irrelevant.
Actually, my myopic friend, there are plenty of Muslims that love their children. The "bigger picture" here is "religious extremism". And THAT comes in many flavors.
One flavor being "Islamic extremism" and another flavor being, "Christian right wing extremism". The kind that blames natural disasters on women's rights and gays. After all, if Katrina and 9/11 were the fault of the gays and feminists, they must be "punished" for what they did, right?

Yes and no. Honor killings are not unique to Islam, and certainly they are not art of many sects, but there are Islamic factions which do treat women as something not quite human. Those need to be opposed, not with overt violence, but with the tactics of denying them a chance to spread their particular dogma. This means stopping them at every border and using any legal means to reduce their influence within our borders. I don't recall suggesting we force only Islamic immigrants to pay for psychological analysis.

Fundamentalism as a whole treats women like shit. But the concept of honor killings is much more cultural than religious and if you focus on the religion you ignore the fact that it is going on in other religions of similar cultures.
Fundamentalism always treats women like crap frankly.
idiots for certain, but read up on ChristiNAITY, NOT MUCH BETTER, AND IF THE WINGNUTS GET THEIR WAY IT'S COMING BACK, SOONER RATHER THAN LATER

I wouldnt say that its cultural persay. Anti-social maybe. Psychotic most probably. The only kind of person that would kill their child has mental problems. It doesnt matter if theyre Muslim or Christian or any other religion. Im sure Buddhists and Hindis have done the same.
I would hope that this:

does not happen here in the U.S.
