[/quote] no maybe not a deterrent but a punishment might go a long way to discourage others from doing the same. i was under the impression that "hate crimes" in europe are taken very seriously? this is certainly a hate crime so why such a light sentence?

"And the honor murderer is planning to appeal, complaining that this sentence is excessive. Perhaps a tougher sentence for a young man who stabbed his sister 107 times to cleanse his family's honor would be "racist."
"Teen in Sweden jailed eight years for honour killing," from Agence France-Presse, January 29 (thanks to all who sent this in):
Stockholm: A Swedish court on Tuesday sentenced a 17-year-old man to eight years in prison for stabbing his sister 107 times in what judges called an honour killing.
The teen, who was 16 at the time, was convicted of killing his 19-year-old sister at her home in the southwestern town of Landskrona on April 23 last year.
He had called emergency services and said a masked attacker had killed her, but investigators said his story didn't hold up against evidence found at the scene.
"The court found the man guilty of the murder and that the motive was to restore the family's honour," the Lund district court said in a statement."

only in sweden would 8 years for murder seem like a long sentence, and only an islamist would think the sentence excessive.
