Honour Killings.

[Joe_the_Lion]

Just seen on the Ten O'Clock news this dreadful news.

Not wishing to harp on about muslims, but did anybody else notice the news refused to mention religion?? And this was ITV not even the BBC.

I too think that this was a despicable crime and I haven't heard from anyone who supports the practice. Perhaps if these people were refugees they should serve their time here then be deported

I think you might be getting two stories mixed up here.

The killer of that policeman a couple of days ago is reportedly an illegal immigrant, but in the case of the 'honour' killing, all the convicted were British citizens.

I think the point has already been made - the issue of 'honour' killing is a cultural issue, not a religious one.

Nowhere in the Muslim faith is killing family members sanctioned - but extremism is present in all cultures - as you can see from this thread - so it should be deplored where ever it is found - such as two responses in from the top for a start.
