Muslim Kills Daughters
He murdered his own daughters because they were going with non-Muslims. He says this is an "honor killing," ordered by Allah. Any religion that would command a man to murder his own daughters is not worth considering as religion. Another post on this board says we should ("leave religion out of it." The poster says Christians kill, too. But I have yet to see a Christian kill his own children for going out with someone of another religion, and who is proud of it, saying the murders are "commanded by Allah." That is something only Muslims would do, today, and I condemn it. (E-Boards,)

Actually, Ray, dishonor killings are believed to have their origins in misinterpretations of pre-Islamic Arab tribal codes. They pre-date Islam by centuries and, in fact, are un-Islamic. They have more to do with culture than with faith.
Still, it's difficult not to wonder why more people from within the culture aren't speaking out against these crimes.
