What isn't debatable is that when Muslims carry out honour killings, they often do it because the daughter is 'too Westernized'.
Worldwide -
• 'Being too Westernised' - 58%
• 'Sexual Impropriety' - 42%
North America -
• 'Being too Westernised' - 91%
• 'Sexual Impropriety' - 9%
Europe -
• 'Being too Westernised' - 71%
• 'Sexual Impropriety' - 29%
Muslim World -
• 'Being too Westernised' - 43%
• 'Sexual Impropriety' - 57%

It is ironic that Muslims who carry out honour killings have often moved to the West and then murder their own daughters for being 'too Westernised'.

I have seen estimates anywhere from 1,000 up to 10,000 honor killings per year.

The last count for the Muslim population worldwide was over 2 billion, I believe. I have seen estimates anywhere from 1,000 up to 10,000 honor killings per year. Even at those upper numbers, one would have to admit that the vast majority of Muslims don't commit honor killings. I believe it is certain cultural pockets of Muslims and not the whole Muslim religion to be blamed here.

I notice that you haven't provided a link for your ball park estimates.
On a more tangible level, the British police have stated that there were nearly 3,000 honour attacks in the UK last year.
Alarming number of 'honour attacks' in the UK as police reveal thousands were carried out last year
Worryingly, it is thought that the real number of honour attacks is perhaps much higher due to many never being reported to the police.
The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) estimates that the annual worldwide number of so-called “honour killing” victims may be as high as 5,000 women.
I also find it interesting that there are supposedly very high numbers of Muslims in Africa, yet there seem to be low numbers of honor killings there.

True Islam is adhereance to Sharia Law. Those who do not adhere to Sharia are often seen as apostates even amoung their own kind. Thats why you see extremists killing moderates, sunni's killing shiites, wahabi's killing salafi's and everything else in between. Extremists are the real muslim, they kill moderates for apostacy, and then the moderates say extremists are not true muslim when the extremists follow Sharia 100%.
Now go read Sharia law, and imagine the west when Sharia has been established and tell me you want your children and your decendants growing up in that world.
Like Jewish law and Christian canon law, Islamic law is interpreted differently by different people in different times and places. In the hands of moderates, religious law can be moderate and even liberal. In the hands of post-Enlightenment readers of philosophy, religious law becomes associated mainly with ritual, theology, or history and no longer regulates society or the state.
In the hands of fundamentalists, however, it is legally binding on all people of the faith and even on all people who come under their control. Islamic law to American Muslims in Boston, or Houston is very different than Islamic law to religious Muslims in Egypt, Saudi Arabia or Gaza Strip. All follow Islamic law, yet their view of the law varies as much as individual Muslims vary.

Well that's pretty much the kind of brutality you can expect out of Islam. They don't have a word or definition of "mercy" or "forgiveness" in Sharia law. This isn't an isolated incident, just think of how many cases go unreported by other families because of the fear the same thing will happen to them? The thing i find appalling is the mothers go along with it, accomplices in murdering the own children they bore.
Thats what happens when you're brainwashed in a cult, and you know you're brainwashed when you can murder your own children and you think there's nothing wrong with it.edit on 3-11-2012 by lonewolf19792000 because: (no reason given)
