No, they have nothing to do with Islam. Islam in no way allows a person to murder their daughter or sister because they suspect them of having committed a sexual act. It is a cultural thing; such things were very common throughout all Mediterranean cultures up until very recent times. Italy, Spain, and Greece were some of the areas where this occurred most frequently mainly because those cultures retained ideas such as honor for longer than the northern European countries did.
