honor is an adjective. an adjective like evil, good or other. meaning that it is attributed to things wich people may believe to have these characteristics.
here is something for you, it`s a webpage wich lists all "honorkillings" in germany. cases in wich a father, brother or other male member of the family murdered a daughter, wife or sister because she had slept with a other man, demanded a divorce, simply left her husband or did a other "dishonorable thing"

in short i find your argumentation invalid since honor can mean anything, from helping out voluntaraly in your local comunity to smashing your sisters head in with a baseballbat because she slept with a nonmuslim.
-edit-: also includes attempted murder cases
