the key point I think you are missing Logan is that this is NOT anyone's culture.
Killing your kids is only the accepted culture or murderers. As Will correctly said, Islam does NOT make this acceptable, it condemns it. Any true believer would condemn the murder of a child in this fashion. I dont know a lot about the Hindi religion, but I would be shocked it it condones killing your kids. Yes, there are snatches you can take out of the bible that can support murder and so on if you view them out of context & and prollt the Qu'ran too (although I accept that the Qu'ran can only be read in Arabic truly which I cannot do) - but the whole "Thou shalt not kill" thing is pretty universal among people of the book at least.
There is not a whole coherent culture of people who support murdering children who fall in love with someone the parents dont like... it is the action of animals, of sub humans.
