1. A SICK, SICK PEOPLE WHO GAIN 'HONOR' FROM KILLING....
Sick to the stomach   (01.24.09)
2. "Honor murder"
Brad ,   USA   (01.24.09)
There you have it. This is one of the few cases where Muslims have "courage". The murder of a woman. These "honor" punishments also include rape, gang rape, mayhem, and other tortures. Brave Muslims. If this is the best Islam has to offer, it's no wonder they have to spread it with the sword.
3. How Sad.
Aviva. ,   Israel   (01.24.09)
This has to stop. This is murder and there is no judification for it.
4. I hope that they find the sick

6.  "Honor murderers" should be exiled to Iran
Sharon ,   Yavne, ISRAEL   (01.24.09)
Honor Murderers in Isreal, must be exiled to their brothers in Iran- where the dark regime lauds them . Israeli citizens shouldn't pay for the hotel accomodations they get in the Israeli prison.
7. honor killing?
debbie ,   israel   (01.24.09)
This is the Muslim mentality. How can Israelis be expected to find any common ground with these people, any basis for peace agreement, or living side by side. This is a matter of the 21st century clashing with the 14th century, or the stone age.

Mahmoud ,   UK   (01.24.09)
a german man killed his girlfried few days ago because he foud her with another man. he buried her wile she was alive. He left her till she died. Is this the Muslim metality as well????????
9. A school cafeteria honor killing in Exeter, California had a
Rivkah   (01.24.09)
postive outcome: the State of California passed a law creating "Home School Study" and "Work Study" programs to protect students who were at risk. A Muslim girl's brother walked into the school cafeteria and shot her in the head the day after she returned to high school after being raped by three Mexicans when she walked home from school the week before. The brother was never caught. It is more likely the woman in this story was executed by a brother or cousin or father than by the boyfriend.

Sabine ,   Essen, Germany   (01.24.09)
But in Germany nobody accepts this mans behaviour, he will go to prison for this. Whereas this bedouin man wouldn't go to prison in a muslim state since everybody would accept that he killed his wife for reasons of honor, whatever that may be.

Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (01.24.09)
Because he found her ..., you wrote . It was HIS girlfriend , not her brother , father or so . A big difference , not to justify either , and NOT what is called a "honor" killing that happens ONLY in muslim families .
13. Honor Killing practice gives Israel a
Maria ,   MD   (01.24.09)
bad picture to the world.When I was growing up back in my country[ in the 70's], I overheard a conversation among my fellow country men,one of them said that people in Israel were barbaric that if you were raped or do something that dishonor their family,your own family could kill you.I said to myself,Jews are barbaric?I found out they were not the Jews,they were Arabs.I've never heard of Palestinians before in my life. I thought people who lived in the ME were Jews and Arabs only.
14. Who Decides Waht's Honorable?
USABorn   (01.24.09)
These "honor" killings only honor the devil. Whether you believe he is real or not, it's evil.
15. Mahmoud....it's human nature
Maria ,   MD   (01.24.09)
honor killing is not.
16. To #8:You left out an important aspect
Arie ,   BaGolan   (01.24.09)
Was the German a muslim? But as a reality check: honour killing (an inherent oxymoron) is pandemic to the muslim world! In most muslim countries it is legal, whereby the countries that have 'de-legitimized' refuse to prosecute!
17. #13
Moran   (01.24.09)
This has nothing to do with ISRAEL!!!! Maria....Jews are not barbaric, not all arabs are either...donĀ“t generalize and this has probably nothing to do with honor killing, but cold blooded murder. your guess is as good as mine
18. We need more information
DavidM ,   New England   (01.24.09)
Was she married, or divorced or widowed? If there is no husband in the picture then maybe her male relatives were angry with her for having sex. Remember what Yeshua said to the men who brought the woman before Him who "had been caught in the very act of adultery"? And on a side note, why wasn't the man brought before Him also?
19. islam and honor killing
snony ,   india   (01.24.09)
Never heard nor we do . we offer prayer . False accusation . It is jews said honor killing . Find the fact first.Never it is ,islam never belives in killing ,we are not pagans worshiping trees cows sun stones walls saints humans ,no question of appeasing some thing with killng.Find facts first.Then speak
20. Note: SUSPECTED "honor killing"
Haile Gebreselassie   (01.24.09)
Already many of you here have arrested, convicted, and sentenced Arabs/ Muslims, although this practice is not uniquely Arab or Muslim.
21. to #19 snony: What planet are you on?

22. from Wiki
shmulke ,   w coast, USA   (01.24.09)
UNICEF reported that "According to 1999 estimates, more than two-thirds of all murders in Gaza strip and West bank were most likely 'honour' killings." In 2003 James Emery (adjunct professor of anthropology at Metropolitan State College of Denver and expert on Afghan politics and the Taliban) wrote: In the Palestinian communities of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Israel, and Jordan, women are executed in their homes, in open fields, and occasionally in public, sometimes before crowds of cheering onlookers. Honor killings account for virtually all of the murders of Palestinian women in these areas.
23. So sad, a young mom killed in front of her own baby
(01.24.09)
what kind of sick bastard would do this? Poor child no mamma to raise it
24. Backwards, neanderthal values. It carries over to hamas and
Jae ,   Lynn US   (01.25.09)
their elevatiion of honor over life. If that isnt idol worship, ie the worship of false gods I dont know what it. Now I dont know what happened exactly in this case but if its like the 125,000 other honor killings in the Arab world in the past few years than its an unjust excessive sexist incredibly crule and inhumane act. But hey, maybe they get 72 virgins and this allah god is happy? You get the point.
25. I hope one of our Jewish People adopt the child .
YITZAK BEN SHLOMO ,   singapore   (01.25.09)
What mercy killing ? What honor in murders ? Now the child is motherless. this is very sad .
26. Big deal
Gur   (01.25.09)
If Arabs want to honour each other in this way, be my guest, who cares.
27. #20 Haile Gebreselassie
Wisconsin Marshall ,   USA   (01.25.09)
Unbelievable. First el Guerrouj and now world record holder in the marathon, and world-class middle and long distance runner(retired?) Haile Gebreselassie. Why not bring in Bekele and make it a trio? I absolutely agree with your talkback.SUSPECTED. I thought of it even before I read yours. We would probably agree that honor killings are abhorrent. I myself do not hesitate to criticize Jewish religious practices I find intolerable. But honor killings are about as bad as it can get. As you know, tens of thousands of Ethiopian Jews have emigrated to Israel. Ethiopia has at times had good relations with Israel; at other times not as good. Although you have not stated an open hostility to Israel, from your talkback I sense it may be so. It saddens me a little because I've admired yours and Hicham's athletic careers for so many years. But everyone is entitled to his opinion.
