it seems everytime you hear about something like this, it is related to the Taliban or radical muslims.

There is a tradition of "honor killings" in the region that long predates the Taliban, said Barnett Rubin, an Afghanistan expert at New York University.

as for me, no religion , thank you very much. I've had my fill.

Christ on a Cracker... I think Hell just froze over. You and I agree on something.

Don't feel bad. It happens with Nitro, too... on exceedingly rare occasions.



But about them 'honor killings'... Hindus have their own version:

Personally, I think that the ONLY reason the Christians don't do much the same thing is that they currently don't have the power to do so. At least not here in the West.

I recently posted about the hindu honor killings. Daughters considered a burden or a disgrace to the family can get a target on the back real easy. Just being born female if a son was wanted can mean a death sentence.
