Honor Killing?

You see, I don't understand this whole honor killing thing. Seems to me that raping and murdering women who have nothing to do with the accused crime would be anything but honorable. I heard a good speech on the subject by the girl from TV Ontario when she said that in some Islamic communities any crime committed is considered to be made against the entire family, community, tribe, whatever, and therein becomes much more magnified and serious than a crime against just one person. While that makes it al little more clear why someone could do this, I still consider it barbaric and anything but justice or honor. You want to be honorable, then punish those responsible for the crimes, there seems to be plenty of those to go around!
