You can find extremists in just about every large group of people.

Granteed that this one statement might not be reliable, I watched a FOX news special about "honor killing". it was basically a woman, who was married to a muslim, had her daughters killed by her husband. Wheather this was true not, I don't know, but it was said that he probably was able to leave the country before he could be found and questioned. Either way, he was put on a wanted list for a possible "honor killing", but few days later, the part "honor killing" was omitted because it was considered offense and could potentially harmful to information gathering from muslims in the middle east, and the pretty has pretty much died down.

I've seen cases of people stealing cars last years and this murder case was basically closed after a year or two? Granteed that this is from a news source that is said to be "picky" with their sources and topics, but it still a news source.

Your source is FOX News? OK, now I am seeing where the problem is. What is the one "news source" that keeps harping on the president's religion? FOX News. Never heard about this story, but are you saying FOX News is saying that the American authorities allowed the guy to leave the country after killing his wife and children because he was Muslim? Do you realize how incredibly silly that sounds?

I'm not Christian but even I know this much. A pastor should know better.

The wife lived, the daughters were the ones killed, and I see where your getting at. However, what your saying makes it sound like that just because FOX news did a report on it we shouldn't believe it. What if I said it was from CNN? Every news group has its bad suites, but does that mean we should disregard every report they make?

You should be careful about mentioning FOX News, steamboatsam. It can be seen as a piñata. FOX lies habitually and are too politically one-sided. Much unlike other news sources, such as NBC or CNN. Crediting any form of information to FOX tends to make your argument unfavorably moot.

Does that not mean a person can't check to see if its real?

Texas – Honor killing of AMINA and SARAH – chilling

American Girls - Page 1 - News - Dallas - Dallas Observer

Here are some random links that talks about it (that is not FOX)

I understand that FOX has a bad reputation for that(hench why I said it might not be reliable), but then again how can you tell that other major news groups do the same thing? Do you check every single news reports from CNN just to make sure that they are 100% real?
