#1 people registered ordinary murders as cases of honour killing in order to increase its social acceptability.
WTF is wrong with a society that considers a murder more acceptable if it is an honor killing??

#2 RiV, I'm afraid that the question is: "What could possibly be right in a society that considers honor killing acceptable?"

It would certainly be a much shorter answer. I kinda go with "nothing".

#3 The way to end this crap in Muslim countries is by executing honor killers with little hesitation. Since anything can be justified by Sharia, which currently justifies honor killing, it can just as easily be turned around and used against it.

I remember when Perv pulled a fast one against one of the powerful religious parties. He made a vote a referendum on greater rights for women, and those fools came out against it, calling for a "ignorant, barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen" approach. But in Pak, women have the vote, too, and the religious party got nuked in the election.

Same approach this time. Since the vast majority of honor killing victims are women and girls, if they have a chance to vote on a death penalty for it, there is a good chance it would pass.
