Gotta say, you picked some pretty terrible examples Naturally, there are good people everywhere, but there are also terrible people everywhere, with the vast majority being somewhere in between, regardless of religion or societal concept of "honor", which is not always good. Case in point, those so-called "honor killings" are certainly far from what most would consider honorable or good.

And to add to Don's example (just saw this recently on the news), the Catholic-run Magdalene Laundries in Ireland, a supposed haven for abused/poor women etc, ended up being little than a slave camp with rampant physical and mental abuse.
