It was a very interesting read. (Yes, I read it all.)

Unfortunately, it's not neutral, at some points completely wrong, and, quite frankly, racist.

Furthermore, it didn't quite answer my question. There is no mention of "honor killing" in the article that started this thread. It's a common trick from journalists to make the reader assume that it's about something that it might not be.

Read the article again:

There is NO mention about this being an act to "preserve family honour". OR anything of the kind. It is up to the reader to decide that it might be so in this case. I generally don't make hasty assumptions, thus, for me, his religious beliefs aren't relevant, just yet.
