"Honor Killing" Is Just Wrong

Recently, I read about a man who strangled his sister while she slept.  It happened in Pakistan.  Why did he do that?  He felt that she "dishonored" the family.  His sister had 40,000 followers on Twitter and 700,000 on Facebook.  Her postings were a symbol of female empowerment.  A video of her dancing to a popular rap song was viewed by many.  Her brother was embarrassed by her actions so he murdered her.  We must never handle our problems by murdering people.  It shows a lack of moral responsibility.  It is a lack of moral parameters.  It demonstrates a lack of education and reason.
