Lured to India and killed: Surjit Kaur Athwal
Teachers, police and councils are afraid to take action against so-called honour crimes for fear of being accused of racism, it is claimed.
Women are also being betrayed by community figures who believe those who break traditional taboos deserve to be punished, the report found.
Researchers say taxi drivers, police and government workers of Asian origin are returning women to the domestic abuse they want to escape.
The report by the Centre for Social Cohesion think-tank voices the concerns of activists who say they are seeing more women fleeing "honour-based" violence.
But lack of funding means shelters have been forced to turn victims away.
The Crown Prosecution Service says about 12 women are victims of honour killings in the UK each year.
The researchers fear the real figure is much higher.
The study found that honour crimes are being carried out by third and fourth generation immigrants.
It also says there is evidence that Asian policemen and councillors try to block the activities of women's groups.
"The Government is still not taking honour crime seriously," said James Brandon, one of the report's authors.
"Until this happens, the ideas of honour which perpetuate this violence will continue to be passed from generation to generation."
The report says women have been attacked for forming "inappropriate" relationships, wanting to go to university or listening to Western music.
It found that "political correctness" was preventing bodies from tackling crimes which exist in the country's Muslim, Sikh and Hindu communities.
The authors said families withdraw teenage daughters from school because they fear men will be unwilling to marry them if they are educated.
Many men brought up here want "freshies" - women "uncontaminated" by ideas of independence.
Rahni Binjie of the Roshni Asian Women's Aid, a refuge in Nottingham, said: "We've had women who have disappeared from the education system. We don't know if they've been taken abroad or killed or anything."
Activists say there are particular problems with taxi firms who return women fleeing from abuse.
Jasvinder Sanghera, of the Karma Nirvana refuge in Derby, said: "We just can't trust them. This can be a matter of life and death for these girls."
Honour cases include that of Surjit Kaur Athwal, a Sikh lured to India and killed on the orders of her husband and mother-in-law.

Western Civ is allegedly founded on the concept that the strong are obligated to protect the weak.
It is time to elect politicians who still remember that.
It is time for all of us to remember that or lose it all.
Our “leaders” need to be led by you.
They do not wish to assimilate in our culture. They demand we submit to their culture by edict of the sword. It says this in the Koran.
As would most Brits, I would reckon.
It's one thing to have different cultures and 'slightly' different ways of doing things, but this sort of thing 'should' absolutely enrage any coherent Westerner to the point of apoplexy.
I find it discouraging that these Brits’ morals and ethics are so perverted by their LW moral equivalency brainwashing that they are willing to overlook serious crimes such as murder and overt discrimination because they have convinced themselves that to do their jobs would cause them to be viewed as ‘insensitive’ or ‘racist’.
So much for assimilation.
And we should all protect ladies anyway, because they are the Crown of Creation and the Light of the Universe, and are easily God's finest Work. Any "culture" that doesn't think so deserves our utter contempt, both from a philosophical perspective as well as a legal one.

I haven't seen too many of those around lately..."sigh"

Is it already too late?

Fortunately, here in the USA we have tools that are far more effective for asserting ourselves and our will than swords.
I'm keeping my powder dry, as they say :-)
Sick.
It's time to shame these animals into either going home or assimilating.
There's no reason radical idiotic Muslims (those who believe in honor killing) should have the benefits of living in a civilized country - places Western ideas produced.
If honor-killing Muslims perfer their ideas, they should go back to the poor totalitarian control-freak repressive countries where their ideas have "won". They are wrong to live among us, polluting our cultures with the twisted ideas that produced the endless wars and hatreds of the ME.
I wonder if the exact same thing is going on over here in the USA? "Our" media would certainly never tell us if it was.
Taxi drivers are, apparently, part of the process to kill these women. Many taxi drivers in the U.S. are foreigners. I have heard a figure as high as 90%.
The people killed are all women. Maybe these Muslin men are so insecure that they have to kill women to prove their manhood.
Although I have no doubt that this is true, according to the article this insanity goes beyond Islam:
Honour cases include that of Surjit Kaur Athwal, a Sikh lured to India and killed on the orders of her husband and mother-in-law.
Then there’s this poll: Quarter of Brits think Churchill was myth

I would love to, but I don't know how. How do you regulate private behavior that occurs behind closed doors?

Sadly, this garbage goes beyond Islam. From the article:

It’s actually sounding like all immigrants of all generations and all religions from the Indian subcontinent in Merrie England have eagerly taken up the formerly exclusively muslim concept.
Fascinating case of cultural syncretism. I guess they’re all finding it handy.
What? If a thug beats you up in his home - "behind closed doors" you wouldn't call the police? Come on - what century are you living in?
If the only crimes procecuted were the ones committed in broad daylight - with hundreds of on-lookers, the prisons would be empty.
The UK is deadmeat. When political correctness towards savages is more important than prosecuting murders, western civilization is finished.

It certainly augments their innumerable preexisting weaknesses.
