Recently, The Telegraph disclosed what many already know, namely that "thousands of honour attacks" happen every year in the UK.
Also, CBN reported recently about "Islamic 'Honor Violence' Rising in the West."
But in many cases there is no attack, just pressure and threats. Not many killings, forced suicides, beatings, kidnappings, rapes etc. are needed to make the rest bow to threats. Nadia is a brave exception: "Threatened with beatings for not wearing Islamic scarf," translated from the Danish in B.T.:
Nadia has repeatedly received threats after she stopped wearing the Islamic veil and began to resemble and behave like a Danish girl.- I have received threats of beatings because of my piercing, because I go to discotheques and because I took off the veil, Nadia explains.
- For example, once I was at a party. Some young Arabs came and threatened me with beatings. Luckily a friend of mine said, 'You can just try!,' and at the same moment a police car drove by, so nothing happened, Nadia says ...
Nadia was abducted by her father to Lebanon when she was eleven years old. There she lived with a distant part of her family, got married and had a child with the man.
About a year ago, Nadia came back to Denmark with her husband, from whom she is now divorced.
Let's just wait for the trolls to claim that this is another creation of those darned islamophobes..
I've mentioned here before that it was the direct observation of the harrassment of Muslim women in Denmark who chose not to wear a head covering that initially got me interested in Islam and its effect on daily life. Since then - and it's a decent number of years ago - the number of these women has dwindled dramatically while the hijabs have increased and extended to full covering and hijabs for little girls.
I saw no beating in the open street, nothing like it. Only snide remarks, shouts, whispers, insolent and triumphant grins: and the young women unhappy, in tears. Nothing remarkable. They probably wore the hijab voluntarily, next time they ventured outside.
A word of advice to Nadia, of Lebanese Arab Muslim background, now in Denmark and defiantly NOT wearing the Sharia Badge, the Mohammedan Female Slave Rag:
you may as well be hung for a sheep as for a lamb.
The Enforcers of 'Allah', the self-appointed Sharia Police, will try to kill you anyway, for not wearing the Slave Rag
So - why not just apostasise altogether? The risk remains the same.
So dump Islam and become truly free. (But take a course in self defence and martial arts, and if you can, acquire both a fire-arm and a dog, before you Go Apostate).
Speaking as a free non-Muslim woman: when I see a Mohammedan female wearing the Slave Rag, I feel two reactions.
First, I feel what a free black person would have felt upon seeing another black person shackled and slave-branded.
Second: I feel what someone in Occupied Europe would have felt, when they saw one of the self-appointed Uebermenschen strutting past all got up in Gestapo or in SS uniform, with the Swastika and/ or the Deathshead.
The Mohammedan Female Slave Rag is tantamount to the black flag of Jihad; it is a synecdoche for Sharia and it is a declaration of the intention to impose and enforce Sharia.

Outlaw the hijab

'The veil, argues an Iranian-French writer, reflects a refusal to integrate.'...
'She writes that the veil cannot be presented as a personal choice, disregarding centuries of Islamic history.
'She adds that it is inappropriate to probe the motivations of every young girl wearing the veil when what is at stake is a political agenda.
'Djavann explains further: "The veil has never been innocent or innocuous.
"** It has always signified the submission of women to men and the denial of legal rights to women in Islamic countries."** {my emphasis - dda}
'She stresses that while the Islamists did not invent the veil, they have turned it into a weapon and made it the symbol of their cause.
'ADDRESSING THE growing phenomenon of veiled women in Europe, Djavann points out its centrality to Islamist propaganda:
"The political, ideological and psychological impact of the veil goes far beyond its appearance... If this weren't the case, why would the Islamists make it their main focus?... It constitutes a constant call to order by Islamic law." END QUOTE
Got that, everyone? - "It (the veil, the slave rag) constitutes a constant call to order by Islamic law".
It is perhaps **the** symbol of Sharia: of that whole ghastly system of domination/ submission, despotism-slavery, S & M, institutionalised sadistic abuse of females and of non-Muslims, that is Islam.
(Clic on the link and read the whole article: except for the last paragraph, it makes excellent sense and is very useful - lots of insights one can incorporate in letters to politicians, etc.).
Steffen, above, noted the trend for younger and younger girls, even tiny little girls, to be fully veiled.
Djavenn discussed that, too.
'Djavann also analyzes the social and psychological damage caused by the veil, saying that it denies women a normal social life because it reduces them to sexual objects. Wearing the veil only "points to what the veil is hiding... It hides what no one might look at if it were not hidden..."
'As the Islamist system covers women's heads, it only sees them as genitals, Djavann argues.
'Hence she calls the veil "pornographic on the symbolic level.
'DJAVANN ESPECIALLY condemns the veiling of little girls, calling it abuse because it makes them internalize at an early age that they should be ashamed:
"Don't we hide what we are ashamed of?... Since childhood, these veiled girls feel guilty..." In addition, the girls are a "constant threat to Islamic morals: A girl could bring about a crime, be slaughtered by her father or brothers to cleanse their sullied honor. Indeed, the honor of men is cleansed with girls' blood!"
'The veil may mean several things, Djavann explains.
' It may mean that the woman has become the property of a man; it may also mean - in the case of young girls - that they are being marketed as sexual objects, ready to wed."
Three other items that those new to this forum and to this subject may find illuminating.
The first is a symposium entitled 'Hate Behind the Burqa', from 2008. Two of the participants, one female, one male, are ex-Muslims. Four have psychological training.

One of the participants, Nancy Kobrin, psychologist, offers this possible reading:
"The veil is about control/domination vis-à-vis submission of the female and her subjugation.
"The headscarf is the beginning of the slippery slope of subjugation that slides into the burqa and/or the niqab."
Then there is this report from the UK: a Muslim girl living in the UK was threatened by her male cousin, that unless she wore the Slave Rag he would harm her...and her family, who were letting her *not* wear it.

Wear the hijab or I'll kill you, cousin told girl': Muslim tells of terrifying phone threats
'Wear the hijab or I'll kill you, cousin told girl': Muslim tells of terrifying phone threats
"A man threatened to kill his cousin and harm her family after she decided to stop wearing the traditional Muslim headscarf, a court has heard.
"Mohamed Al-Hakim, 29, allegedly phoned Alya Al-Safar to tell her she must die because of the ‘shame’ she had brought – leaving her too afraid to leave the house.
"He had already branded her family ‘bitches and whores’ because of her decision, the court heard...".
And finally, from the jihadwatch archives, the first report on the story of Aqsa Parvez, a Pakistani Muslim girl resident in Canada, who was murdered by her father at least partly because she had refused to wear the Slave Rag (and note well, she wasn't refusing to wear niqab or burqa, she was refusing to wear the headscarf, which is usually seen by outsiders as the most innocuous form of the Slave Rag; people see it and think sentimentally of nun's wimples...but it is not the same kind of thing at all, at all, at all).

This is so sad. I hear one lady say get out of islam all together. Not wearing the head covering or leaving the the cult is the same. I'd like to say religion but everything points to cult. Can you imagine someone showing up for church on Sunday morning and saying I'm not going to come here anymore and everyone getting ready to kill you????? To say it sounds crazy. What the heck is up with this group of people. It sounds demon influenced heavily. I mean what thinking person acts like this??? It must be horrible to have to look over your shoulder all the time. I just could not live like that, not by choice anyway. I'm sure it's pounded into their brain from a tot. I saw the pic of the young boy with a gun. Getting him ready to be a maryter. Bear a child for death, see how crazy that sounds.
WE MUST DESTROY THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OF ISLAM BEFORE THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OF ISLAM DESTROYS US.
WE MUST DESTROY THE CRIME SYNDICATE OF ISLAM BEFORE THE CRIME SYNDICATE OF ISLAM DESTROYS US.
I'm stilled shocked that CAIR canada would intimidate the Toronto Police Froce to hire muslims females and allow the Hijab as a human right in the Uniform( now un-uniform by the un-informed) because CAIR fooled the Liberals to belive that the Hijab and Niqab are Islamic headress in the Quran.
Canada is going through the mass murders for 4 muslim females that are victims of Honour killings, the young girls refused to wear the Hijab and are now dead via autocide drowning as Susan Smith did to her children.
CAIR denies any ties to islam or Honour killings, but the MSM plays both sides by reporting how the Hijab IS islamic as a peice of faith wear while being a Cops, but then run their news to deny the Hijab was behuind the mass-murders because the hijab is NOT islamic.
The CBC has been used by CAIR and Sheema Khan for over 12 years now and the CBC has a habit of picking the ugly hijab wearing muslims as the true face of islam.
CAIR lost its Charity-Satus in canada because of its Political soap-box to coach muslim on how to vote and to send letter to Politicians to allow Shariah Law in canada. So now CAIR must get donations by fabricating Hate-Crimes
and vandalizing their own Mosques and putting the blame on the Jooooos as in CAIR's last islamophobia attack in Quebec where the muslims must have sprayed the Star Of David on the Mosque just like the other bogus vandalism in Pickering where muslim sprayed "jesus Rules" to blame the Christians bcak then just after the iraq war started. Both Mosques are tied to CAIR and the one in Pickering is near the Nuclear Plant where CAIR defend a few yound muslims caught scouting the Plant and taking flying lessons .
It's too late for muslims in the West to keep banging that drum about islam=peace and how there are just a FEW misunderstanders in the world that are doing all those 18'000 jihad attacks since 9/11/01 .
The real tragedy for honour killings is the farah Khan story back in 1998 canada, farah Khan was used to aid her Pakistani Parent get into canada for her safety to have a better life. But soon after being approved to stay in canada her monster parents plotted to behead her via a Honour killing because daddy-dearest had doubts about who the father was from the previous marriage that created Farah.
When the beheading failed, the two monsters hacked her body up to bury in a park near the shores of lake Ontario, the MSM refused to use the M word for the parents.
But in the last days when the daily's came out for papers to prints the final statement before the sentence it was revealed that the father used Shariah Law as the excuse that his faith allowed it and thus it is legal in canada as a religious Right.
She was about 6 years old and the MSM spit on her grave because they feared telling the truth that islam and Shraih Law had ties to it. Mommy dearest finally squealed on the hubby and then used the batter-sppouse syndrome but the judge didn't buy it. They both went to jail and that poor little Brown-girl got buried along with the story because they media had lower expectiations for pakistani's in canada from the last 20 years of spousal abuse and other honour killings in the guise of teen Suicides as Tarek Fatah has spoke about as another dirt secret inside islam.
