"Certain, ethnic, cultural, demographics"?
You're the one beating about the Muslim bush, when you're not apologizing for the UKs role in ME affairs.
Participants completed a questionnaire based on researchers’ newly-developed sliding scale of attitudes towards honour killing, asking teenagers to place themselves on the scale in relation to different situations where it may be justified to kill a person. The participants were not allowed to confer while they filled out the surveys.
In total, 33.4% of all respondents either “agreed” or “strongly agreed” with situations depicting honour killings. Boys were more than twice as likely to support honour killings: 46.1% of boys and 22.1% of girls agreed with at least two honour killing situations in the questionnaire.
61% of teenagers from the lowest level of educational background showed supportive attitudes towards honour killing, as opposed to only 21.1% where at least one family member has a university degree.
41.5% of teenagers with a large number of siblings endorsed at least two honour-killing situations, while this was only the case for 26.7% of teens from smaller families.
The Assembly notes that whilst so-called “honour crimes” emanate from cultural and not religious roots and are perpetrated worldwide (mainly in patriarchal societies or communities), the majority of reported cases in Europe have been amongst Muslim or migrant Muslim communities
That is certainly a horrible and tragic end to young lives. One thing I imagine is certain is we can not blame your local case on local cultural acceptance of 'honour' killing to defend the family name.

This just happened where I live. The community is in shock. Can we blame this stuff on Mental Illness? Or demonic manipulation?

Why are you polluting this thread by posting a clearly anti-Islam source?

You're right, I troll anti Muslim rhetoric. Besides being bigoted, its dangerous and provocative.

Honor Killings....I see no honor what so ever.
Can you show me an "Honor Killiing" by a mother anywhere else in the world ?
On January 9, 2006, Yates again entered pleas of not guilty by reason of insanity. On February 1, 2006, she was granted release on bail on the condition that she be admitted to a mental health treatment facility.

Now before people start bleating "Racism!" or "Not all ethnic minority people do this!" etc, I AM NOT MAKING THE ASSERTION THAT THEY DO, just that such horrific practices are shockingly more common in non-white-British ethnic groups, and there is clearly a cultural problem which needs addressing somewhere.
