I read a thread in the Off Topic forum about a Muslim young woman being killed by her father because she was being "disobedient." I use that term in quotes because I am not too familiar with Islamic culture and everyone has different ideas of how that term relates to the conduct and behavior of loved ones. The basic gist is she left her husband in Iraq and came back to the States, moved in with a new boyfriend and his mom, started working and had adopted some American ways. Her family came to the US when she was 4, so she may have become "Americanized" in as far as developing her values. Her father became angry b/c she dishonored the family, and ran her over, along with her boyfriend's mom, with his SUV. I don't believe this is an edict from the Koran, I believe this is extremist behavior, as we Christians have those who embrace extremist behavior. I am trying to view this through lens independent of how I've been raised, although it's difficult.
Have you seen this in the Christian world and if so, do you mind sharing?
