that are not only tolerated by the government and people, but are actively considered the foundation of the society.

From this article, it didn't sound like the people were anything but mortified by it. I take a little comfort in that...at least.

Yes, but... while the local people might be shocked and mortified by the slaughter of a baby, why are they completely understanding and supportive of the scores of premeditated murders of teenage girls and young women in the name of "honor" because they have acted like normal teenage girls and young women?

Show me an American tradition analogous to Sharia "honor killing". I don't think you can, because it doesn't exist.

That's the difference. Their shock at the murder of a baby is only partial. They accept the murder of adults.

Take comfort if you will, but I fear it is only small comfort.
