Gypsy, you need to go back to the news paper and read the whole story again with reference to the context. You miss very important points, there were many points you missed the daughter was living with friends (who know males or females and even with females what she was doing etcetc...). She was involved in dacing etc.. so it was not only hijab which make her father to kill her there were many stimulants which lead to this very bad act of killing. but still killiing is not allowed even in the presence of all these bad things. Killing itself is the worse act. So, make it clear in you mind it was not only hijab, so wa not a honor killing for islam may be an honor killing because of family or different western life style.

Once again I would strongly recomend people PLEASE READ ISLAM FOR THE PURPOSE OF UNDERSTANDING NOT FOR THE PURPOSE OF FINDING NEGATIVE POINTS, IF YOU UNDERSTAND IT YOU WILL LOVE IT. I AM PRACTIVCING IT ONLY FOR LAST FEW YEARS AND I AM THE MOST HAPPIEST PERSON ON EARTH. PLEASE DO NOT GET HIJACKED BUT WESTERN MEDIA. THEY ARE TOTALLY WRONG.
A the a very simple question killing a daughter (for her acts) or having sex with daughtere is bad and it is happening in many western families. It is a real fact and being reported in media though it is under reported.
