UK - One in 10 'backs honour killings'

Interestingly, The BBC does not give us or link to the poll's internals except for this:

One in 10 young British Asians believes so-called honour killings can be justified, according to a poll for the BBC's Asian Network.

Of 500 Hindus, Sikhs, Christians and Muslims questioned, a 10th said they would condone the murder of someone who disrespected their family's honour.


A breakdown of how the groups polled would be pertinent don't you think? If, for example, the entire 10% came from one group, you could use that information to try and fix the problem. But that wouldn't fit the BBC's agenda so the BBC doesn't report the whole story.

More and more, if you want the truth and the whole story you have to turn to bloggers.

Quite a different picture than what's presented by the BBC.
