Raymond Ibrahim's written about a horrific subject of beheadings that are practically condoned by the Koran, all for the sake of honor murders:

Two recent and rather unnatural atrocities underscore the murderous hate that Islam mandates for any and all who are perceived to defy its—or those who associate themselves with its—authority.

On Aug. 13, in France, a 25-year-old Muslim man beheaded his own 60-year-old father with a knife. When police arrived on the scene, the defiant murderer tried to attack them while crying Islam’s triumphant war-cry, “Allahu Akbar,” thereby establishing his jihadist frame of mind.

One day earlier, on Aug. 12, in India, the decapitated body of a young woman was found, and the murder traced back to her 50-year-old Muslim father. He had beheaded her because she rejected a nikah, an arranged Muslim marriage.

As horrific as these murders are, surely they have nothing to do with Islam, a religion and culture well known for its strong familial, or tribal, bonds?

Alas, even these murders are tied to the teachings of Muhammad, particularly in connection to the doctrine of al-wala’ w’al-bara’ (which can be translated as “loyalty and enmity” or, more simply, “love and hate”). It commands Muslims always to aid and support fellow Muslims while hating everyone perceived to be in opposition to Islam and its followers.
