'Honour killing' - you can feel better about it

From CNN report about the "honour" murder of Farzana Parveen, a pregnant Pakistani woman, beaten to death by her relatives:

So-called honor killings often originate from tribal traditions in Pakistan but are not a part of Islam.
So it may seem when you read this. Verbotten, say the clerics.

But... but read this.

And that.

Feeling better now?

Update: to make you feel even better, there is more to the story:
Now Parveen's husband Mohammad Iqbal, 45, has admitted killing his first wife.

"I was in love with Farzana and killed my first wife because of this love," adding that he had strangled her.

Beat your wife to keep her in line, says the Koran. The guy just went too far. But, hey, it's his culture. Who are we...
