hoosier, how do you feel about Cak Nur's philosophy of Islam and the state?

Honour killing isn't part of Islam. In most cases, the perpetrator of the killing is done outside of Islamic law. Honour killing is unheard of in Southeast Asia and West African Muslim nations. However, it is very relevant in South Asia and the Middle East.

The execution of princess Misha'al of Saudi Arabia is an example of extre judiciary example of honor killing. Instead of the princess being brought before the judicial system, and having four witnesses of good charactes, which would be almost impossible to prove since these conducts are done in private.

hoosier, can you tell me explicitly where in Islamic law that says the Camel must die? Cut and paste would be fine.
