palerider, I just read the link you provided about honor killings.
At the top of page 2 note that your article clearly states there is nothing in the Koran which advises or sanctions honor killings.
Also, notice this from that same article:
In India, for example, more than 5,000 brides die annually because their dowries are considered insufficient, according to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). Crimes of passion, which are treated extremely leniently in Latin America, are the same thing with a different name, some rights advocates say.
The practice, she said, "goes across cultures and across religions."
I'm sure you can show me ample incidences of mistreatment towards women on the part of Muslims.
But as your article plainly shows, there are huge populations (such as that of East India) with the same problem - which are NOT Muslim.
