#3 Rafael, I don't think it's considered a bad thing if it is because someone has offended your sense of honor. Especially if the offender is someone who they consider property or subhuman in the first place.

#4 The deaths raised to at least 12 the number of women murdered by relatives to reserve the âfamily honourâ. I'm confused( but that happens a lot ), is that twelve this year, since the dawn of time, or just maybe this week

#5 The article goes on to state "Activists said parliamentâs rejection of the new law gave men âa licence to killâ their female relatives.

âAfter they rejected it in early August, three women were reported killing in 10 days. This is surely not a coincidence,â an expert was quoted as saying."

Plus two for the gene pool. I imagine these fellers will get a hefty fine (seems they've already performed their community service).

We in the West have lost this kind of spirituality, because of our unhealthy preoccupation with earthly matters like economics and hygiene. Obviously we judge other cultures too quickly and against our own biased standards.

Et cetera.
