[QUOTE="ghoklebutter"][QUOTE="jackfruitchips"]It's a weird quasi-colonialist mindset: they want to maintain their strong cultural presence wherever they go. Most foreign Muslims I know are pretty moderate in regards to their home culture, however. True. In here,the ones that are becoming "western" are usually the older part of the family u_u It's the exact opposite here. :V The younger Muslim relatives are very Westernized and hip compared to the older Muslim relatives, who are super conservative.Muslims go to Western countries and dont like their children get Westernized ? then go back to deserts.
I'm sure there are more "honorable killings" like this in the future.

Christianity might have problems, but it doesn't seem to encourage violence the way Islam does.
Worst thing I can think of that Christianity causes in modern day is anti-intellectualism. Worst things Muslims do is kill and kill and kill.

Many Asian immigrants/regugees like myself who live in US/Western countries try to keep their cultures too, but we've never seen any parents kill their children for becoming too Westenized like the Muslims. So I beleive Islam has something to do (even if indirectly like you said) with this honor killings. Many Muslims blame non-Muslims for hating Islam for no reason yet Muslims make Islam look bad by doing disgusting things like this.Muslims go to Western countries and dont like their children get Westernized ? then go back to deserts.

Look to India, non-Muslim country which some of the populous have committed honor killings. Really it's a relic of the cultures that existed there before Islam.

"but it doesn't seem to encourage violence the way Islam does" /sigh plz go back under your rock. I could say the same thing.zzz. Its a @%@% cultural thing more then a #@$%#% religious thing. PERFECT EXAMPLE INDIAN SEEKS are 10 times more oppressive to there wives and daughters and have had many Honor killings due to disgracing the family (IE not wanting to marry the man the father wants her to). Do research before u go on another Muslim witch hunt. Its a pathetic mind set but they are not educated and rely on there culture to get on with there day to day lives. AllthishateThe culture and Islam are closely related. But okay. Man. You are of peace.

Pretty much this. Islam doesn't directly allow honor killings (you can't find it anywhere in Islamic sources) but it does provide a cultural framework upon which honor killings are being justified. So it still deserves partial blame.[QUOTE="Allthishate"][QUOTE="Communist_Soul"]Pretty much this.

Truth is, culture has a big role to play here since most of the honour killings ive heard about among Muslims have been from Pakistan and some from Afghanistan. And many times the Pakistani ones have forced marraiges involved.

I'd say a lack of education is definitly one of the biggest factors in these things.

Of Course. But is Islam the sole factor? No. BossPersonNo it's not the sole factor. It's a cultural thing mostly. A culture partially born from Islam.More than just partly, mainly. The main problem with Islam is that its believers literally believe that it is the literal word of god, his actual words. Thus they see no problem in following those words until the end of time whereas other religions are more loose and allow room for slow deviation. You have no idea how many times I've had to hear some Muslims say things like "LISTENING TO MUSIC AND DRAWING ARE BID'AH" and so on It's amusing how emotional some of them get
