it is very limited to write about muslims. Its like talking about christians taking one case of mormons.seriously, note next time what country and village it happened. Plus, would also not hurt to note (if reporter didnt) that muslim - people that belong to certain religion but they do reflect traditions of own country more then of its religion.
Oh, boy.... do I change mind of someone who has never been outside of own village (or even continent)? No. So why bother? Good luck in making war on the planet. Especially in such a "peacefull" period. (From next blog).

DAD SHOOTS DAUGHTER
In 2007 a father in Arman, Jordan, shot his 17 yr old daughter 4 times in the head because he thought she was having sex. The daughter had went to a woman's clinic a couple of weeks before and shown to be a virgin at that time and was only released to her parents after they signed a statement that nothing would happen to the girl. The autopsy showed that the girl was still a virgin when she died. According to the article, it was Jordan's first honor killing that year. They usually average 20 such killings a year.
HONOR KILLINGS
In 2004, there was an estimated 1200 honor killings in Pakistan. It is so accepted that family members have no qualms about it.
So a son could forgive his father for murdering his mother, a mother could forgive her husband for killing their daughter, a father could forgive his brother and so on," says Saba Gul Khattak, executive director of the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) and a women's rights activist.
BRITIAN'S HONOR KILLINGS
In one case in Britian, a girl, living in Oxford, didn't want to marry the person her Bangladeshi parents arranged for her to marry. Instead she was seeing another guy and when she found out she was pregnant, they got married. Three months later, she was dead and her brother and father were on trial for her murder.
that's just one of 117 murders that happened in 2004 that Britian is re-investigating as possible honor killings.
