German Honor Killing: Brother Killed Sister Because of her "Western Lifestyle".....

Somehow this has nothing to do with Islam.....

HAMBURG, Germany: A German man confessed to killing his 16-year-old sister in what investigators believe was an honor killing, police said Monday

The 23-year-old man, identified only as Ahmad O., said he stabbed his sister Morsal O. on Thursday night in the northern German city of Hamburg, police said. She died early Friday morning from her wounds.

The man is being held on suspicion of murder. The siblings are both German citizens of Afghan origin, and other relatives were also to be questioned, police said.

"We will question the whole family," spokesman Andreas Schoepflin said.

Investigators say they believe the sister was stabbed because her brother disapproved of her Western-oriented lifestyle. Honor killings are committed because some cultures believe it is the only way a family's honor can be cleansed.

"Honor killings are committed because some cultures believe it is the only way a family's honor can be cleansed."

Name some other cultures then.

The STOP HONORCIDE! campaign was launched on Mother's Day 2008. The goal of the campaign is to prosecute honorcides to the fullest extent of the law. We want honorcide to be classified as a hate crime and we advocate for every existing hate crime legislation to be amended to include honorcide.

Still spamming I see

I don't think the word HONOR should be used "in any way" to describe such an evil deed. There's no better word or phrase than MURDER.

Elric66, these happen in Druze, Hindu, and Sikh families, too.

ERS,

Not like Islam and not as consistent. You havent explained if it isnt tied to Islam, why do Islamic courts hand out such light sentences if a sentence is even carried out? And you cant stop pimping that book.
