Honor Killings: Murder in The Name Of Religion?

This is a sort of a follow-up to the “Some People Just Don’t Get It” post. Recently, a man in Georgia was charged with strangling his daughter who was filing for divorce from her husband. In the article “MURDER IN THE FAMILY: HONOR KILLINGS IN AMERICA”, 52 Chaudhry Rashid said, “he could not accept the "disgrace" a divorce or affair would bring on his family.” In addition, the article mentions that the United Nations estimates about 5,000 women a year fall victim to “Honor Killings.”

Although it may not be the “Politically Correct” point of view, I have always felt that religion, in particular Islam, is at the core of most senseless murders. Just look at the number of innocent people killed by radical Muslims in the name of Islam and now add in the Honor Killings.

I decided to explore Honor Killings and see what I could find. Below is just a short list of a few articles I found when I did a “Google” search for Honor Killings. As I expected, thousands of links were displayed, from blog entries to major new agencies. The two biggest things I found disturbing in all of this is: 
1. “Most "honour" killings of women occur in Muslim countries” (ref: Case Study)
2. Where is the international outrage against Islam and other Religions / Governments who turn a blind eye to this?
