I know it's right in the eyes of their culture, but so what? Exterminating the Jews was right in the eyes of the Nazi party, killing 50 million Russian citizens was right to the Soviets, the examples could go on forever. I'm sick of this attitude that a belief has to be respected just because it's a belief. I don't care if that's what they believe, their belief is fucked and wrong, and every human being has the right to argue against every belief out there.

Honor killings are a disgusting practice and an indoctrinated mental illness, one of many imposed by religion. No natural, healthy, or sane family structure would kill their child by a torterous means like stoning just for loving someone, all in the name of religious intolerance. It's not right, it's religious fanaticism, something this world should be without.
