How can a parent claim "honourable motives" for killing their own daughter? And it's always the daughters...sons are probably untouchable.

[ToraToraTora]

It's called "honour" when a daughter is murdered by her own father for a variety of "evil" things. Perhaps their definition of the word is different.

If you tell yourself it's an 'honour' killing, it stops those tiresome voices in the middle of the night, telling you you are beyond evil and deserve to be cut into one-inch cubes with a rusty tin lid.

[Atheist]

It used to be the sam over here. Fortunately, it's better now, but not thanks to religion.

[retrocop]

Life is cheap where religion trumps civilised laws. Seems like sharia law is based one way for male advantage and dominance over women. There is an imam in this country who preaches the correct way to stone a woman to death for adultery. No thought of punishment for the male participant. Damn misogynistic murdering savages.

Retro under Islam, being raped is a crime!

[retrocop]

Yes TTT. Perpetrated by the female.!!!! who does not consent.

[zebo]

Can we ban the words 'honour killings' and call them what they are, murders? As long as we play to the stone-aged 'culture' that does this we are close to validating it. We don't accept a parent smacking a child's bottom, we should be holding these vile parents to the same standards.

[retrocop]

zebo
Agreed

[choux]

This does not meet my understanding of "culture". How terribly sad.

[ToraToraTora]

yes zebo, I don't call them that.

[andy-hughes]

Zero - Calling these murderers 'honour killings' instantly identifies the crime, and the reason for it, and saves a lot of time and trouble running an explanation.

Thanks to this heinous crime, most Western citizens know and understand the term.

We should retain it because everyone knows immediately that another innocent woman has died at hands of one or more psychotic relatives.

[choux]

What andy says is true, sadly. It seems to be a case of however high or low in any news report the phrase "honour killing" is used it will continue to appear.

begining to think we should stop all this electric car milarkey, let humans die out and the planet can start again

[fender62]

the face of islam and misogny, this is just one case that has made the main stream media, happens everyday in islamic countries, it just gets hushed up and wife or daughter gets buried in the back garden scrub ground, ending the blasphemy would be a start, i think they believe so fervently like a cult, thats it's god will and they are just following the man in the skys will, it's also a weapon of control mostly.

[Barsel]

This is just one of the reasons why most of us put religion on our list of 10 things we would abolish.

[jourdain2]

Some religions aren't violent Barsel - and do a lot of good.
