Is honor a concept worth dying/killing over?

You bet it is.

The real question is, what kind of a barbaric culture could imagine that killing your own daughter after she was raped BY YOUR OWN SONS could restore any sort of "honor"?

Western Judeo-Christian culture is superior to Middle Eastern Islam. It just is. (And if that makes me a racist, so be it.) But no world leader today--not even the majority of Jewish and Christian leaders--has the nads to say this truth.

When Ann Coulter said, "We should kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity," she was closer to the truth than many people care to think about. At least, we need to break the stranglehold Islam has over these people and give Christianity a chance to take root.

yes. but they dont know what honour is. i doubt they ever will.

for example. in the japanes culture, suicide is the only response to significant disgrace. (the kind that would jeopordize your family or a figure head). thats fine by my standards, even though i do not wish nor will i practice it. however. murder, especially of a family memeber has never been seen as honourable. the only honourable killing comes in war or necessity.

i just write this case off as a woman having a 15 years later abortion. she didnt want to cope with it, so she took a life rather than love it.
