- Going through a number of websites, I have read various stories which made me realise that living in a liberal and democratic western society, a Muslim woman still cannot escape murder or abuse in terms of the issue of Honour.

They are some Muslim families who subjugate and oppress certain Muslim women. They expect them to stay at home and not socialise with other members of society. I don`t think this is what religion teaches. I am pretty sure that the Muslim religion teaches that one should integrate within the society they are living in. In order to benefit others and the community.
- Going through a number of websites i came across a discussion on yahoo answers which i found useful and which addresses the issue of why would a Muslim need to integrate into a free society. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20101007083727AAwo8JM
- Why do such Muslim families live in the age of darkness. Its time to read your Holy books and understand your religion.
Whilst researching honour killings in the U.K on YouTube I came across a video which showed Banaz Mahmod talking in hospital after her father attacked her. Clearly from this YouTube video one can see how much fear and stress she is going through. How can a father do such injustice to his daughter?
From this I was shocked and filled with disgust in realising that honour killings also takes place in the United Kingdom.
Hard hearted couldn`t stand his own daughters happiness.
