Bro honor killings in a Muslim country are closely tied to their religion. I have a very interesting relationship with Islam, and I can tell you with about 90% certainty that this is because of religion.

90% of all honor killings in the us have been Muslim.

Here is honor killings by region. Guess who does the VAST majority of them world wide.

Technically an honor killing doesn’t have to be religious, but then you have to say that Muslims have a cultural predisposition to honor killings, and honestly that sounds super fucking gross.

But going back to what I was saying earlier. I grew up about as close to the Muslim faith as you can and not be Muslim at all.
