Yes you are ( Nothing new) Throughout the World it primarily happens in Muslim Countries. In " palestine" they are not interested in making it ILLEGAL !
I've laid out the facts PV and you have yet to address a single one directly or answer a question directly.
Honor killing is most common in the Middle East culture and in India, particularly amongst the caste conscious Hindu. The history of it is a cultural history that predates religion.
I have asked, repeatedly, where in the Quran, there is anything permitting honor killing and you repeatedly dodge it. If you want to make the claim that it is an issue of religion then you damn well better find some religious text to back it up as part of that religion.
In addition you fail to explain why honor killing is also common among non-Muslim populations such as Hindus, or why in the Middle East it is practiced by non-Muslim natives such as Christians and Druze as well.
I provided a number of links where Islamic scholars repudiated honor killings as non-Islamic. I can find nothing in the religious texts that support the concept of honor killing - in fact, shedding innocent muslim blood seems to be frowned upon.
Your examples of the Kosher food laws still have their origins in the OT - not as detailed, but clearly there.
You are making a claim that the religion supports honor killing but you can't find any thing to back it up except to say it's more prevalent in the Islamic world.
It's not a stupid question. You made the claim. Islamic law is Sharia law - where is honor killing in Sharia? Pedophilia seems to be rampant among Christian clergy, therefore Christianity supports pedophilia - in essence that is the kind of argument you are making with Islam and honor killing.
The real issue is not Islam - it's women's rights in societies that regard women as property and that attitude is prevalent amongst all the religions in those regions as is a societal "acceptance" of violence towards women. I keep pointing out India because it's an example of a country forced to finally confront this problem following a particularly horrific rape of a Hindu woman in a dominantly Hindu society. When people try to make it a "religious" issue (and fail to find any widespread religious text or law backing it up) then they are showing themselves to be people who don't really care about addressing the real problems - violence towards women - but only care about demonizing Islam.
The above examples ( just a few) aren't written in stone anywhere yet they're accepted. Get it? Probably not. Keep defending it claiming their " religion" has nothing to do with it.
Just show me where in the religion there is support for honor killings. GET IT?
Perhaps it's time for another question you probably won't answer. If honor killing is supported by the religion, why is it so rare in Indonesia, 88% Muslim, with the largest Muslim population in the world?
Regarding your " legal" question I have already answered it. The Kosher Laws aren't written anywhere in the Old Testament yet it's part of the Religion. On Friday's Catholocs were forbidden to eat Meat. It obviously wasn't written anywhere but still a part of their religion. The examples go on and on.
" Honor Killing" is not prevelant among Hindus or any other group EXCEPT Muslims. Care to explain that? There have been " Honor Killings" in THIS COUNTRY! Guess who???? Psssss.. ( hint it's not the Hindus)
Maybe now you can tell us why in these Countries there are " Laws" that SUPPORT IT!!
In the Muslim World there is a difference between what happened to that woman in India and an " Honor Killing" whether you want to accept it or not !!!

"No, he is a human being".
So was the person he killed!
And that person left behind a widow and 5 children! so forgive me for not giving a crap about the stabber...
WHAT business did he have being where he was?
BTW, where is your condemnation of this poster not having any empathy for the stabbing victim? Just one more example of your hypocrisy
You continue to selectively ask for compassion for those who are dying.
