I refer to the issue of "Honour Killings". It is understood from your article that "Honour Killings" are largely practiced by people of the Muslim faith. While some Muslims may be involved in this type of activity which, according to my reading and research, points out that the abhorred practice stems from family traditions mainly of people living in India and Pakistan.

To report that Muslims are largely involved in this activity is incorrect, because often articles appear in the Indian press (of India) reporting such unlawful behaviour. Many of these cases are not from the Muslim community. Hence, the article invariable portrays Muslims in a negative light and adds to a growing stereotype that Muslims are violent by nature.
