And its still evil and wrong, period. We can understand the twisted morality which makes it acceptable, it doesn't mean we have to accept or even tolerate it. Its bad enough they do it routinely in their pseudo theocracies, but now they are doing it in our suburbs.
We can stop it in the West by dropping the multi-cultural bullshit. If you come here, you are welcome, you now will assimilate with OUR culture. If you want to kill your daughters for running off with a Christian, get the hell out.
I'm personally rather done with the concept that we can tolerate this type of thinking in our own borders. And we can stop it, without force, they can get out.

normally the idea is to prosecute people who commit crimes in your country in your country.... most states fight quite hard for that principle. Simply letting them off scot free with a deportation back to a country where the crime may be treated more leniently doesnt seem to be much of a punishment. And if they are second generation, were do you propose to deport them to?
