For what it is worth the practice is widely condemned by the Islamic authority.

then tell me, what will happen to the perpetrators of these acts of murder by the Islamic authority? i realize depending on where the killing takes place the perpetrator will be criminally charge, but what does the Islamic authority do to a man who practices 'honor killing' and is exposed?

btw...

please try to start some type of 'immoral equivilency' argument based upon the fact that spousal abuse goes on just about everywhere in the world....rarely do those instances of abuse arise out of religious justification...the issue here is how many stem from religious teaching (albeit 'condemned' by islamic authorities)

note from the article:

But there has been an increase in general lawlessness in Palestinian areas. And in male-dominated conservative Palestinian society, if a man commits an honour killing he may get off scot-free.
