#3 The way wot this survey is worded is absolutely appaling.

The term "Honour killings", to my mind, represents killings of family members, or members of a community as a result of perceived breach in some kind of sexual ethic. This article seems to abuse the term, or make deliberate use of the ambiguity in the word "Honour".

The question is very open - "disrespecting honour" mean blowing a raspberry at somebodys Mum, or physically molesting their sister?

#4 Imagine, Hindus, Sikhs, Christians supporting honour killing! It's a stupid insult on non muslim Asians via an idiotic poll.

#5 What percentage of the Muslim respondents believe such murder is justifiable?

#6 Just under half of British "Asians" are muslim, so 20% back honor killings.

#7 One in 10 British Asians backs honour killings

Start by deporting that 10% of the Muslim population. Perform the poll again next ~~year~~ month, rinse and repeat.
