HONOR KILLING
One tradition that Muslims have is honor killing. They believe that if a daughter does something that dishonors the family, the father has the right to kill her. In this case, the daughter, Banaz Mahmod, 20, left her abusive husband from a pre-arranged marriage and was seeing another man. Several attempts had been made on hers and her boyfriend's life since they started seeing each other. The boyfriend went to the police again when she didn't show up for a date. She was found 3 months later, in a suitcase buried in a backyard garden. She had been strangled with a bootlace. Britian has seen 25 honor killings in the past decade, but there are 100 other deaths that are under investigation.

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).
