From wikipedia :"Killing one's wife or sister for tarnishing her honor or that of her family has not received approval from any Islamic scholar of any note, in either medieval or modern era.[76] Many Muslim commentators, and organizations condemn honor killings as an un-Islamic cultural practice.[77] Tahira Shaid Khan, a professor of women's issues at Aga Khan University, says that there is nothing in the Qur'an that permits or sanctions honor killings.[78] Khan instead blames it on attitudes (across different classes, ethnic, and religious groups) that view women as property with no rights of their own as the motivation for honor killings.[78] Salafi scholar Muhammad Al-Munajjid asserts that the punishment of any crime is reserved for the Islamic ruler only.[79] Ali Gomaa, Egypt's ex-Grand Mufti, has also spoken out forcefully against honor killings.[77]
In short, you could describe it as an arb tradition or a middle eastern tradition but not an Islamic one (it pre-dates Islam). If anything Islam has attempted to temper the practice....
This is delicious. What a dopey cuck you are. You said above:

You can demonize any specific race or nation based on a selective news agenda. There are certainly plenty of stories about white Fathers killing their families in the US. You are just looking for excuses to justify your inherent bigotry.
You made it about race and country, not religion. And now you go and demonize Arabs in your desperate attempt to protect Islam.

You are doing us all favour by illustrating graphically how bigots don't have the research skills of a sharp eight-year old child.
This is even more hiliarious. You take a tiny subsection of Wikipedia, quote as the gospel truth (when it's just that some Muslim has recently edited it based on some Muslim apologetics paper), and act like you've found the truth on the matter. You're demonstrating perfectly that you don't even have the research skills of an 8 year old. Do they even allow Wikipedia in children's class projects? LOL @ you, dude, you race hater (blaming Arab culture for killing women?? **** you you racist).
Here's the actual truth, although your dopey mind will slide right past it. These are the views of honor killing in the Islamic world:
Notice how 20-70% of Muslims saying that honor killings are at least "sometimes ok" transcends national and racism boundaries. In fact, the only thing the people surveyed in these countries - everywhere from Asia to Europe and covering most cultures and ethnicities - have in common is Islam. Do you think these views fit with the views of say, the Christian population in these countries? Do 40% of Serbs at large think that's it's something ok to honor kill a wife or daughter?

But then why let the facts get in the way of your ugly stupid hate? Write some more stuff that can be contradicted from easily accessed sources in thirty seconds please.
It's absolutely adorable that you not only show your incredible racist bigotry against Arabs (you blame their culture/race for honor killings in an attempt to protect Islam - a foolish attempt since the facts are on my side), but that you think you've won here.
The truth is that honor killings are so accepted in Islam because Islam is a barbaric religion. Look at the belief rates in the requirement of death for adultery, or for leaving the religion.
Half of Muslims believe in death for adultery.
Half. That very quickly translates in "my daughter/wife should die for this, and God ordains it". Islam also has a vile and barbaric view of women as a kind of property, that's continued for 1000+ years. When a woman's word is worth half a man's in holy Sharia court, when four male witnesses are required to bring a rape charge, how do you think women are viewed? As equals, or as less?
So yes, honor killings are strongly linked to Islam and the Islamic view of the world.
