Former Wall Street Journal reporter and Danny Pearl associate Asra Nomani has been following the story of the beheading of Aasiya Hassan. From Asra's accounts, the case really does not appear to have any connection to Sharia issues or to honor killing despite Islamophobic fantasies.

Asra belongs to a small group of modern US journalists whose reporting is responsible by the standards I remember.]
