#4 The Taliban have warned Afghans that possessing pictures of "unrelated women and handsome boys" was against Islamic law

It seems to me that the only available targets in a lot of conservative Muslim communities are the household men and women. I have to wonder what percentage of "honor" killings are set off by an inceest victim threatening to expose his or her violator, who happens to be a member of the household.
