From the BBC:
A Kuwaiti man has reportedly confessed to killing his 14-year-old daughter because he believed she was having sex.
Adnan Enezi - an employee in the Islamic Affairs ministry - had just returned from the pilgrimage to Mecca.
He allegedly bound and blindfolded his daughter, Haifa, knelt her down in front of her two brothers and sister and then cut her throat.
Forensic tests showed Haifa was still a virgin, police sources said. Mr Enezi is being questioned about the case.
Thousands of women are killed by relatives each year in the Middle East and Asia in so-called honour crimes - usually over suspected adultery, pre-marital sex or after having been raped, or marrying without family consent.
...
The daily said that after cutting Haifa's throat the first time, he swapped the knife for one with a sharper blade as she bled and screamed in front of her siblings.
Now where is the honour in killing a helpless and bound 14-year-old girl? There is such a thing as honour, but this is not it. The concept of "honour" which is referred to is the old tribal concept of saving face, where one is all part of a larger group competing with other groups, and the actions of one member reflects upon all in one's own group.
This is the intrinsic view of "honour". For cowards whos self-esteem is bound up with how others view not only oneself, and not only one's immediate family, but all of ones relatives. This is "honour" for those who are too cowardly to face reality, and view the opinons of others as holding omnipotent sway.
Such men have no honour! And neither do the jackals that they bow down to.
