According to the article called "Honor killing in Pakistan takes lives of two men and a woman" that I found, it isn't clear enough information why the honor killing took place in the first place. For those who's not familiar with the term, you can google it!but to save up your time, i will tell you anyway what it really means. Honor killing is when usually the men in the family (father, brother even uncle) that have the right to killed the member of the family that is believe to brought dishonor to the family or community or society. Hmmm sounds unfair to me!!!what do you think?do you think this is acceptable?I think no one in this entire universe have the right to take someone's life!!!Anyway, later in the article it is said that one of the man shot his uncle because of some property problems between the two. Which i think it is rather weird than shocking. Is "Honor Killing" now become an excuse to killed someone in the family? What really surprised me though, this "tradition" is still practiced in countries such as Pakistan for instance and many people just assume that it is a part of Islam (especially with the fact that Pakistan is an Islamic state). Well, I can't stressed you enough that you gotta learn to see the differences between the culture one's have and the religion they believe in.

Alma this is an interesting topic and I certainly agree with your opinion. Honor killing has no place in any society!!! Can you imagine killing your sibling because of property issues! That's just ridiculous...
