Those peaceful folk are geting bad press again over this wonderful display of culture.

At the juvenile prison in the Berlin suburb Plotzensee, six of the current 529 inmates are serving time of six years and more for manslaughter in so-called “honor crimes.” All come from the Muslim world. Aged between 18 and 22, one of them, an Afghan national, was 16 when he helped relatives kill a widowed aunt who had refused to marry her brother-in-law.

Prison director Marius Fiedler said most of the murders are often carefully plotted in the family with the support of all, including women. “Usually the patriarch selects the youngest son to carry out the crime because he knows that judges in Germany don’t usually give the maximum sentence of 10 years to a minor for manslaughter,”he said.

Of course we should not be judgemental of another culture.
