How do Muslims reconcile the contradiction that Islam is a religion of "peace" but still condones, endorses, and even insists upon the actions of "honor killings" for women who get pregnant out of wedlock?

Hello. Have you ever read the bible? I have. And if you read you will see that our God also has killed in order to start something new and better. There was a case when people would kill their children by sacrificing them so they will get more wealth. When God sow this he decided to kill that nation so start a new beginning. I don't talk about the Ark Of Noah. So you better retype you question. I don't think normal Muslims would kill, it is only hardcore brainwashed Muslims who do it (This my opinion).
Have a Nice Day (A Christian)

To give you correct answer on your question is to suggest to you to learn Arabic language by heart and read the entire Al-Qur' an yourself.
Here, you will know that no verses on the qur'an mentioned the "killings of innocents, condones, endorse or even insist all unhuman actions against innocent person including women and children. All these terrorists in minds are misleading the world by giving wrong enterpretations of Islam and the Qur'an. These terrorists who unhumanly killed innocent people are lost Muslims and obliged in hereafter to answer all their wrongdoings, in the day of judgement.
Some Non-Muslims in the world, the western americans and European critics of Islam as anti-humans are mistaking to undestood Islam as religion of PEACE. But they can not denied that among the world fastest religion to increase their population surpassing old and new religions in history, is Islam. Even in Erupoe and American contenents, there are quantum Muslim who converts and embraced Islam around the world.

This is not a contradiction .......Islam is a peaceful religion. It is not the religion that is at fault, it is a few misguided followers.
As for honour killings - such a thing is not permitted in Islam, and I challenge you to find proof in the Qur'an or ahadith that states otherwise.
In fact, on the contrary, honour killings and all other acts of taking innocent life are forbidden and condemned in the Qur'an:
"...if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land - it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind..." ( سورة المائدة , Al-Maeda, Chapter #5, Verse #32)

They do it by pointing to the most violent and oldest parts of the Bible, while conveniently ignoring and trying to abrogate the newest parts...mercy and forgiveness. That's the mission of Islam, to erase the New Testament and lead the world back into the barbaric and uncivilized times of 3000 years ago.

Please be sure to read these quotes in context. It is important to check all sides of an issue, and the holy books of Islam hold much to learn from, as well as that is questionable to those in the West.
Educate yourselves.
Qur'an 4:15 "If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, take the evidence of four witnesses from amongst you against them; if they testify, confine them to houses until death [by starvation] claims them."
Qur'an 24:1 "(This is) a surah which We have revealed and made obligatory and in which We have revealed clear communications that you may be mindful. For the woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication, flog each of them with a hundred stripes. Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah. And let a party of the Believers witness their punishment."
Qur'an 24:6 "And for those who launch a charge against their wives, accusing them, but have no witnesses or evidence, except themselves; let the testimony of one of them be four testimonies, (swearing four times) by Allah that he is the one speaking the truth."

I'm not a Muslim, but I answer this question anyway. Please separate Islam/islamic beliefs from Honour killing. The later is older than Islam and also exist among Christians in Middle East countries.

Who said that Islam approves of Honor killing??
We don't live in a jungle so the parent or the brother goes to and kills his sister or daughter for honor killing!!!!
I am not saying it doesn't happen, but I am saying that Islam doesn't approve of it.
Even if a woman gets pregnant out of wedlock, then she will be questioned on how it happened.
The harsh punishment will be stoning to death IF AND ONLY IF THE FOLLOWING APPLY:
1 - Four adult witnesses watch the intercourse, meaning four people watch a penis inside of her, (oral sex or laying naked is not enough)
2 - She is married.
She will not get the punishment even if she was found naked with a man, or she was video taped having sex. Or DNA approves that the baby is not her husbands.
Finally, I dare you to provide me with islamic proof that it is okay to honor kill, whether the proof is majority of scholars or prophets sayings or Quran.
