BTW, that 23-27 annually, is what is reported, who knows how many are actually not reported.

I crunched the numbers.

roughly 3,300 murders occurs between family members in the US. That's 1 in every 96,667 Americans. 

If 27 honor killings occur between the 5.45 million Muslims in the US, that's 1 in every 201,852 Muslim Americans. 

Not sure if I see it as being a significant problem nor do I see reason to suggest non Muslim Americans are any better.
