Islam and honor killings
Honor Killing and female infanticide come from Pagan-Hindu-Judio-Christian traditions. Here is a solid evidence of honor killing from the Bible:
"For God said, 'Honor your father and mother' and 'Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.'" [Matthew 15:4]
Here are a couple of verses from Vedas that may encourage people to kill their daughters:
"O Husband protect the son to be born. Do not make him a women." [Atharva-Veda 2:3:23]
"Almighty God, you have created this womb. Women may be born somewhere else but sons should be born from this womb." [Atharva-Veda 6:11:3]
One can find many such verses in Hindu scriptures. According to Vedas, women are supposed to pay dowry to men. Moreover, according to Hindu tradition, only sons are supposed to fire up the funeral pyre of their parents.
On the contrary, there is no verse in the Quran (or even in Hadiths) nor there is any Islamic tradition that may encourage people to kill their daughters. In fact, female infanticide and killing children are directly forbidden in the Quran:
"When news is brought to one of them, of (the birth of) a female (child), his face darkens, and he is filled with inward grief! With shame does he hide himself from his people, because of the bad news he has had! Shall he retain it on (sufferance and) contempt, or bury it in the dust? Ah! what an evil (choice) they decide on?" [Quran 16:58-59]
"The girl who was buried alive is asked: For what crime was she killed?" [Quran 81:8-9]
"You shall not kill your children due to fear of poverty. We provide for them, as well as for you. Killing them is a gross offense." [Quran 17:31]
So, it appears that some Muslims are going back to the dark ages of Pagan-Hindu-Judio-Christian traditions although Islam came to abolish them! They are evolving in reverse direction in spite of having the Quran [the most positive Book in the world] in their hand! Maybe Muslims and non-Muslims have interchanged their religions, secretly!?! LOL!

"Every honest Jew who knows the history of his people cannot but feel a deep sense of gratitude to Islam, which has protected the Jews for fifty generations, while the Christian world persecuted the Jews and tried many times 'by the sword' to get them to abandon their faith." (Uri Avnery, a Jewish Journalist)
