reguarding your comment,

1) followers of islam respect those other faiths and races....these killings of jews and christians happen abroad for no reason, i believe as a human everybody has the right to practice their own religon.

2)women in islam are not at all forced to wear clothing, it is their right to. however it is a mans duty to cover his wife and daughters always from the evil eyes of men wanting to enjoy thier bodies. supposing that a woman was wearing low cut tops and tight revealing clothes there are men who would look at her, whistle at her, ask her for her number and so on. women get raped by men who are not phsycologicaly in thier minds, you look at them and you see their background most of them are people who are into sex, or violence, alot of men say that the women are wrong and that they made them commit the crime, you then look at a victims picture and the way they dressed tight revealing clothes make up etc.. and you wonder what evil goes through the minds of those who so the rapes this shows you what type of people that they are attracted to.

if the same man who looks at the same women, sees that the woman is wearing a full loose body clothing than he will ignore her and therefore will not think to do anything. however rape does happen in islamic contries to but there always must be a reason as to why the rape was carried out anyway.

hounor killings are forbidden in islam. where in the quran does it say to kill your daughter or wife because she is not a virgin, it does not say this anywhere i disagree with this. honour killings are not permitted in islam as there are punishments for each wrong deed that will happen. hounor killing is embarked upon saving a family's reputation, so nothing to do with Islam, this is all culture, also again mentioning jews and christians, its the way the arab media and culture perceive jews and crhistians they even make their own rules up just to satisfy their prejudices against other religons 'in the name of Allah'.

this is wrong ,torturing a human being is not permitted in islam. that alone is the answer to all your doubts.

regards.
