But when they are perpetrated in the name of Islam, and the family’s religious honour, do these killings not become a Muslim issue?

Similar “honor killings” occur among Hindus as well. It’s more a problem with misogynistic aspects of South Asian culture as opposed to just one particular religion. And I believe CL’s objection is to implying this is an exclusively Muslim issue or an innate part of the religion.

Bob Dillon/Bobibutu, I think this page should have been classified under “Asia” or “World News”.
