Then what do you think the Frankford reference applies to? It is obviously a reference to a neighborhood in the Dallas area. BTW when I say I live in Spring TX, that isn't an incorporated city either.

Honor killings are no less than heinous murder, especially considering the crazy egocentrism of the perpetrators involved. Such things deserve our condemnation and outrage, and we must all take a stand against it if societies in the Global community are ever going to step up and deal with them effectively. There have been more than one of these incidents in America over the past couple of decades and even one is too many. At the same time, these events and even the term 'Honor Killing' are exploited in equally awful ways to promote hatred and bigotry against innocent groups of people. Much is made of the term 'Honor Killings' because the self righteous finger points elsewhere. It points at Mo To put that into perspective for you let me offer a statistic representing us good clean All American Joes. That being the case I have to be skeptical about the reasons for raising this one event to the level it has been raised. "In 2005, 1,181 women were murdered by an intimate partner. That's an average of three women every day. Of all the women murdered in the U.S., about one-third were killed by an intimate partner." (Bureau of Justice Statistics) The majority of these were no less than honor killings, simply the same horse of a different color.
