I find it worrying that so many of the posts in this thread seem almost an attack against other members, races or religious groups.
As I have not seen anyone say that they believe the family did the right thing (for obvious reasons) I think that maybe everyone should take a step back and calm down before coming back to the OP.
It is a fact that these killings happen and they happen in a variety of cultures, though not always in such a premeditated fashion. I believe it is the fact that these killings are planned out that makes them so disturbing.
Due to one of my jobs I work with quite a few people who are from middle eastern cultures and they do treat their women (and by extension me) in a way that I personally find quite hard to stomach. However I also understand that my refusal to cover my hair or dress in a manner they approve / act submissive is hard for them to handle. We all have to make compromises.
I think that what Infinite_Loser - mixedmedia and LoganSnake were trying to point out is that while we might not see her actions as impacting on family honour another culture / religion might.
They did not say that the actions taken were justified.
As for those commenting on the race and religion of the perpetrators of the crime, police basic sterotype of a killer is generally white male ...
