Oh man. Violence against women is bad enough, but you would think that the home of your parents would be the one place you'd be safe.

What a horrible story.

Well it certainly wasn't very honorable.

Please people. As Marcus has said thousands of time, we cannot judge other people's culture. This honor killing was a religiously significant event. The family "perceived" the girl as being too westernized, and their perceptions are more important than the girl's life.

People have didn't perceptions than you do. That doesn't make their perceptions wrong, even when it means killing a 17-year-old girl. Her family's faith is different from yours, not worse. Who are you to judge their spiritual beliefs? What are you, some kind of god-damn atheist?
