Oh just on a sidenote because I didn't see anyone else mention it or post it but the authorities later dug up her body after it was buried and it was examined.... turns out she was still a virgin and did not "dishonor" her family so she was innocent of what she was accuse of...

I agree somewhat with this statement except you forget they only seem to get about 6 months for "honor killings" and really the punishment should fit the crime.. they should get stoned to death.. as for reeducation... yes i agree with this but it will not happen overnight as it didn't for the christians... for reeducation to work it has to start in the home with the parents... and perhaps in the schools... but I don't see that happening any time soon... it would take decades if not hundreds of years to eradicate this way of thinking (honor killing)... the old and current generation would have to die off and the new generation would have to be reeducated and post generations as well... but like i said such a thing ould take a long long long time... so giving them the death penalty in the meantime would make them think twice instead of 6 months....

They are arabs/muslims by heart... a true modern christian would not condone and much less participate in such a act... if they did they are not really christian and do not believe in the commandment of Thou Shalt not Kill...

They are a Christian family living in a Muslim community. The culture in which they're surrounded influenced their actions. That doesn't make them not Christian. They're true Christians just as any other Christian who's murdered somebody. Don't try to spin the story into something that it's not. A Christian family stoned one of their own to death. "Muslim by culture" means not that they're Muslims, but that they have adapted to the Muslim (or more accurately extremist Arab) culture in which honor killing is acceptable. Your argument was that a Christian would not do this, but they do. This was merely the first entry in a google search, so I'm sure there's plenty more.

First of all, that post wasn't even addressing honor killings, and secondly, we don't live under the rule of Hammurabi. Eye for an eye is antiquated and obsolete barbarism and is unacceptable in a reasoned, civil society.

It's not a religion you stupid fuck, it's a culture. Disgracing one's family isn't about the religion.

the punishment should still fit the crime

for "honor killings" the violators should be sentenced for life in prison without parole, but then again when you live in a barbaric and despicable culture like this, people can kill innocent people and only go to jail for 6 months
