Yes, it is cultural. Honor Killings existed long before Islam. They were very common in ancient Rome and sanctioned by law. Nomadic tribes in the Middle East, and Jews, practiced stoning and other forms of punish for disgracing the family.Another venue of muslim atrocities that are not even kept up with in the statistics, at least as far as I know are the so called 'honor killings' when a family member kills another family member because the victim allegedly has brought dishonor to the family....now the libtards will claim this is just a cultural thing....I ask....which came first the islam or the culture?
KARACHI/ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - The brother of Qandeel Baloch, whose risqué social media posts both titillated and appalled conservative Pakistan, on Sunday admitted to strangling her in a crime that reignited debate about so-called "honor killings" in the South Asian nation.
Muhammad Waseem said he gave a "tablet" to Baloch to subdue her and then strangled her in their family home over the weekend.
"I have no regrets," he told journalists in a press conference arranged by the police early on Sunday.
The killing sent shockwaves across Muslim Pakistan and triggered an outpouring of grief on social media for Baloch, whose real name was Fauzia Azeem.
Brother admits 'honor killing' of Pakistani social media star
Today, the United Nations Commission on Human Rights acknowledges that so-called ‘honour killings’ have occurred in Great Britain, Brazil, India, Ecuador, Israel, Italy, Sweden, and Uganda as well as in Muslim nations such as Turkey, Jordan, Pakistan, and Morocco.
The notion that Islam condones ‘honor killing’ is a misconception. Murder in the name of honor is not prescribed by any interpretation of Sharia. In fact, many laws that excuse ‘honor killings’ do not trace back to Islamic law, but are rather derived from the Napoleonic code. Islam strongly prohibits the killing of any person without lawful reasons. Islamic teachings do not allow any person to take the law into their own hands and to commit murder, no matter what justification is used.
