This is the paragraph on the BBC website (carlzeiss put the link)
The UK is holding its first annual day of remembrance for victims of so-called honour killings on Tuesday.
The acts are committed to defend the supposed honour or reputation of a family and community and UK police forces recorded more than 11,000 cases of such crime between 2010 and 2014.
It is how it read. It doesn't say it included other sorts of crime.
Edit - I see Voroshilov has corrected it.

What an amazing documentary. It's like something from a science fiction film with the harrowing black flags flying.
I just don't think it's right to turn the other way and pretend it's not happening when you see 9 year olds getting raped, women getting stoned to death and thousands living under the constant fear of getting sold as slaves.
I hope this programme will raise awareness or will the news agenda just be about Greece? Unfortunately I think I know the answer
Unfortunately your right. Something happening to a country where we go on holiday that might possibly have a small economic impact on Britain is far more newsworthy than the systematic mass slaughter of innocents in some far-off, God forsaken land.

Why do you need to point score?
Can't people be disguted by what ISIS are doing in Iraq and the paedo rings in our big cities simultaneously?
ISIS are a Cancer of Humanity. The Cancer is spreading and the treatment is ineffective, a few token bomb strikes and a few harsh words. The USA and the West seem reluctant to do anything about it. I wonder why that is ? They were quick enough to act against a perceived irrational threat in 2003 but have done the square root of f all against ISIS and their numerous crimes against Humanity. They should have been wiped out over a year ago. The USA could destroy the movement in a weekend if they wanted to, so could Iran come to that who hate them or China or many other countries. They are a band of 30000 or so Psychopaths, rapists, peadophiles and murderers, that is all they are, nothing more, nothing less. They do not represent the religion of Islam in any shape or form. They use it to excuse their sub human ways. The World needs to unite and eradicate them now before the cancer spreads any further or any deeper. Their very existence sickens me to my Stomach every single day
If we declare war on ISIS and more leave these shores to join , then that can only be a good thing for the UK economy .
The dad stoning his daughter was disgusting! We need to go to war with these f***ers before they spread any further
I was not point scoring, merely saying the outrage shown to the disgusting programme last night does not seem to be shown when a lot of the same stuff is being carried out in this country. Seems a lot on here are outraged when it happens in the far east but seem apathetic when it is happening here.
The quote about the black flag being displayed in the programme last night, and the disgust etc....yet it is displayed here and is not banned.
I am disgusted whether it be here or in other parts of the world, unlike some.
Nothing is stopping you to go to war against IS.
let us know how you get on
Never heard of a woman stoned to death by her father in the UK.
Never heard of families having all their women kidnapped here.
Never heard of women being sold as slaves in any British cities.
Let's get this straight, some of things which happened (and probably still are happening) and were covered up in cities in England were disgusting and those who commited these crimes should be locked up for many many years.
But what is happening now in Iraq and Syria is genocide and the West should step in as soon as possible.
Great post! You f***ing moron
Saville hasn't killed loads of people?They've got Jihadi John.
We've got the Jimmy Savile family
You decide the lesser of the evils.

Couldn't this ISIS obsession cover up more 'crimes' going on in our own country?

Well you said "we"
I'm wondering who you think "we" is?
Somebody else's son, brother, husband I shouldn't wonder.
What do you think we have an army for? Would you have said the same for the first and second world wars? Think before you post you imbecile
Precious little thing aren't you.
