Quote: | Sometimes the police don't even want to get involved in respect to the "beliefs" of these groups. It's sad to think that these things still go on today. | I started a thread about honor killings once and there was nonsense about "culture" posted in response. Too many people want to play non-judgemental about honor killings to be politically correct about culture, and the existence of this attitude in society leads to more people being killed in honor killings. Murdering your daughter for "honor" is EVIL no matter what country you live in and no matter what culture you belong to. It should never be tolerated anywhere by anybody.
Also, honor killing isn't just done by Muslims like a lot of people think it is. Here's a horrifying honor killing done by non-Muslims:
Stoning of Du'a Khalil Aswad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And here's an account of a mafia honor killing in Italy: Mafioso shoots sister over 'dishonour' - Times Online __________________ Free Tibet. And Iran. And Zimbabwe.
