Why Do These Cousins Think They Are Immediate Family?

Check out this current story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20071120/wl_csm/ohonor

Do you think these cousins really dishonored themselves by

assuming they had the right to claim the life of their cousin?

(One thing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving- being American

in the good old USA!)

    All depend on their own culture. Problems for us are mainly because we think our culture is universal truth.

    Even in Christianity, honor-killing does exist. Looking at Mose how he leads levis to kill two tribes of Isreal. Those are santified killing.

    That story just said, there is capital punishment in Palestian.
