It has happened (not commonly but often enough to be of note) that if an insufficient dowry is offered, the prospective bride has been killed by the groom and/or his family.

I would consider this an "honor killing"

Some might not.

I'd consider that a greedy bastard killing and consider the society that allowed it as one that needed to review the term barbarism.

'Are You Muslim?' Question Leads to Cabbie Stabbing, Hate Crime Charge

A New York City cab driver was attacked Tuesday evening just after 6 p.m. by a passenger who asked him if he was Muslim, says the NYPD.

According to police, passenger Michael Enright, a 21-year-old from Brewster, New York, hailed a taxi at 24th Street and Second Avenue in Manhattan driven by Ahmed Sharif, a resident of Queens.

As the cab headed north on Third Avenue, Enright allegedly asked Sharif, who is of South Asian origin, "Are you Muslim?" When Sharif confirmed that he was Muslim, police say, Enright stabbed him multiple times with a Leatherman knife.

Oh i do hope you are being facetious and not genuine, although I fear that I am mistaken in this belief.

I kind of recall something events called the crusades. Hmmmm. Lots of murder, rape and torture by christians in the name of god during those time frames. Also the inquisition, the salem witch trials. Hmmmmm.

All religions and civilizations have. I haven't said one was better then the other. I was poking fun at the hypocrisy of his statement. So try rereading my post.

'Honor killings' in USA raise concerns
Updated 11/30/2009 1:42 PM

[snip]Muslim immigrant men have been accused of six "honor killings" in the United States in the past two years, prompting concerns that the Muslim community and police need to do more to stop such crimes.[snip]


[snip] Phyllis Chesler, who wrote about honor killings in her book Woman's Inhumanity to Woman, says police need to focus on the crimes' co-conspirators if they wish to reverse the trend. Before 2008, there were six honor killings in the USA in the previous 18 years, according to her research.[snip]
