1. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, Republican presidential nominee:
"Our administration will be a friend to all moderate Muslim reformers in the Middle East, and will amplify their voices. This includes speaking out against the horrible practice of honour killings, where women are murdered by their relatives for dressing, marrying or acting in a way that violates fundamentalist teachings. Over 1,000 Pakistani girls are estimated to be the victims of honour killings by their relatives each year. Recently, a prominent Pakistani social media star was strangled to death by her brother on the charge of dishonouring the family. In his confession, the brother took pride in the murder and said: 'Girls are born to stay home and follow traditions'. Shockingly, this is a practice that has reached our own shores. On such cases and many, many cases have happened, one involves an Iraqi immigrant who was sentenced to 34 years in jail for running over his own daughter, claiming she had been 'too Westernised'. To defeat Islamic terrorism, we must also speak out forcefully against a hateful ideology that provides the breeding ground for violence and terrorism to grow, it's a breeding ground, it's a terrible, terrible breeding ground."
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has spoken out against the practice of honour killing.
Speaking in Youngstown, Ohio on Monday Trump said if he was elected President his administration "will be a friend to all moderate Muslim reformers in the Middle East, and will amplify their voices.''
Trump cited the case of a prominent Pakistani social media star who was recently strangled to death by her brother for dishonouring the family.
Pakistan reports nearly 1,000 so-called "honour killings" every year, Trump said, adding that honour killing "is a practice that has reached our own shores."
