DMG there is a big difference between Shariah Law and honour killings.
And yes, many people outside of the US consider that having the death penalty is barbaric. Only 2 countries within the EU still practice capital punishment (Belarus and Latvia - and the latter only for war crimes).
Personally I think basing laws on a load of rubbish written thousands of years ago in a book that has been amended and translated and retranslated and translated again and interpreted according to the whims of the ruling classes to be ridiculously outdated. But then I read editorial columns in the right wing press here all the time fulminating that this country is going to the dogs simply because we don't do that any more, so it's still valid to some people.
