Default Re: Woman raped before "honor killing"

[quote=Kaminyu;2104]"Honor killings" are a problem, but then again, so is killing in general, as well as a host of other societal vices, such as sex slavery, racism, drugs, etc. Honor killings are entirely cultural in origin, as are forced marriages and racism. Just because people are from the ME, doesn't mean that everything they do has to do with religion, specifically Islam.

Kurdish Yezidis commit "honor killings" too (remember the story of Khalil Aswad?), as do Christians in Africa. Even in Brazil, this happens.

It's a bit more widespread than just "ME-cultured Muslims".

Or how about, "societal vices exist everywhere". How do you combat societal vices? By combatting ignorance, as these vices depend on it
Yes as I said, face the reality and take action, your recommendation is one such action
