JustMe, do some research or do not comment on matters on which you are ignorant. So called 'Honour killings' are completely abhorent to Islam and cannot be justified in any way through Islamic teachings. There is nothing honourable about them. This is a cultural practice borne of ignorance in poor, uneducated and suppressed regions which must be wiped out. There is enough misrepresentation of Islam by Big media (perhaps intentionally, in order to justify them as targets by the Americans that can be bombed without guilt). Please do not spread falsities and if you don't know, ask an educated Muslim.
