Maybe it is more morally logical but nevertheless it was not really necessary to resort to violence and now it is a crime.

What is a peyot and a kippa? SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME!
Sounds like something that would happen in the back desert of Saudi Arabia.
tied him up, cut off his peyot, cut his kippa in half and beat him for several hours.
And what's a peyot and a kippa? There must be some significance to it.
This is wrong and shouldn't have happened, but it is a far cry from what often happens in the case of a certain other religion.
You know... the one where the girl would most likely be stabbed, shot or otherwise punished for offenses against family honor... TRO-pieces...
These "ultra-orthodox" are obstacles to a peaceful resolution of the horrible situation that exists in that region, as are the militant jihadists on the other side. They both have backed away from reason so far that their asses are touching. They should join together and go away.
I don't see how this is an honor crime. It sounds like the victim did something to piss the daughter off, and she sicced the black sheep of the family on him. Sounds more like a jilted lover or maybe the victim got too fresh.
If you'd like to be on or off this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.
This story just goes to show you that any person who abandons the one true G-d from there life and lifestyle he will resort in doing the worst things people can do to humanity, hopefully this man will come back to G-d and his family before it's to late.....
"In this particular community, it seems, if a family feels their daughter's "honor" has been impugned, the older brother takes it on himself to beat up the young man who has been making the unwanted attention."
Makes more sense than killing his sister, which is what a Muslim would have done. That makes no sense at all to me.
