  'Honour' and 'Crime' just do not go together. There is NEVER any honour in criminality. There's nothing honourable about murdering the weak and vulnerable. There's nothing honourable about the type of cowardice where the weak are lured into a situation and then beaten and robbed by a bunch of bullies. There is no honour in the influential and powerful coercing those in their care into a course of action that runs counter to their wishes.
  
  News readers, media organisations, authorities and others describing such crimes against the family and between families should drop any suggestion that honour might be involved and call it what it is - cowardly bullying, child abuse, shameful murder. Calling it 'honour crime' is an insult to everyone who is truly honourable and perpetuates the acceptance of such crimes within the communities where they happen, perpetuates oppression of the vulnerable and the weak and perpetuates the attitude that its 'ok' to bully and rob as a gang if the victim apparently does something the perpetrator doesn't like.
  
  Murder is murder, theft is theft, child abuse is child abuse and kidnapping is kidnapping, all are shameful, illegal acts.
