The second article discusses the honor killing of one Christian woman and two Muslim women. Hardly compelling evidence to suggest honor killings are cultural.

FWIW, my understanding of AKV's thoughtful post is that he's asking questions as the basis for the collection and analysis of additional information, not that he'd made any conclusions one way or another.
That some have reached conclusions with which they're comfortable does not mean that everyone should or must agree with those conclusions. YMMV.
