We know. Our media feature these cases prominently. (They do not only
occur among Muslims. Heshu Yones' father/murderer is indeed a Kurdish
Muslim,
but such killings have also been carried out by Sikhs -- and, it is said,
Hindus;
but -- it is said -- more often, Sikhs.)
Though some of the young women are from Eastern Europe or the Middle East,
the honour killings are mainly a South East Asian-origin phenomenon.
A factual comment....

I have a figure of 13 cases to be reviewed by the police (jihadwatch indeed
suggested over 100).
Here are total murder figues for the UK

March 1999 - March 2000 = 760
March 2000 - March 2001 = 792
March 2001 - March 2002 = 891
March 2002 - March 2003 = 1,048 - (876)
This includes 172 attributed to Harold Shipman
March 2003 - March 2004 = 853
