It may not be "the norm," but it's certainly not a rare occurance over there either. What about that poor teenage girl who was stoned to death in a crowd of hundreds for dating a boy of another faith? How about all the stories that find their way across the pond about girls being raped and killed by relatives for "dishonoring" the family. Sometimes for the most insignificant things. Well, insignificant to Western culture senses. These are acts not even committed by militants, but by regular citizens.
