Whatever explanation they might have, I think there is no point in even trying to understand their sick parody of honor except for research purposes. Murderers of children and apologists of rape (yes, they did justify it at least in the past if the victim married the rapist) are beings of a lesser category.
I agree with you but can you give me some examples of them murdering children i can't think of any. Unless you're talking about the mafia in Italy then fair enough.
