It is no accident or coincidence that Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that "retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right." However, "not subject to retaliation" is "a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring's offspring." ('Umdat al-Salik o1.1-2). In other words, someone who kills his child incurs no legal penalty under Islamic law.
Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but "the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour 'provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.'" And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that "Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values."
Nonetheless, the media drumbeat is constant: honor killings have nothing to do with Islam. And so they continue, as no one ever challenges Muslim authorities to do anything to stop them.
"Dad killed daughter in brutal axe murder," from The Local, January 13 (thanks to Twostellas):
A Swiss prosecutor has described as a "veritable slaughter" the vicious axe murder of a 16-year-old girl by her 53-year-old Pakistani father, who believed his daughter had tarnished her family's honour.The charge sheet presented by prosecutor Ulrich Krättli suggests he will call for the accused to be given life in prison, the maximum sentence under Swiss law, when the high-profile case goes to trial on March 14th.
On May 10th 2010, 16-year-old Swera was picked up at a Zurich police station by both her parents. She had been held there by police after she was arrested for a minor theft.
Once back at their apartment in Höngg, on the outskirts of the city, a heated argument broke out between father and daughter, newspaper Tages Anzeiger reports.
The girl said she wanted to leave home permanently and started to pack her things. She then went down to the basement of the building to get a pair of shoes. While she was gone, her father allegedly retrieved an axe from the balcony and hid it in the bedroom he shared with his wife.
Once she was back in the apartment, the girl went into her parents' bedroom to pick up some of her belongings. When she bent down to get some things from the wardrobe, her father hit her with the axe on the back of the head, the prosecutor says. The man struck his daughter 19 times with the axe: 12 times with the blade and seven with the blunt end.
The teenager not die instantly, but lay on the ground in agonising pain for several minutes until her life finally slipped away.
The father left the axe between her legs, pointing to the feet, a gesture Krättli does not want to interpret, but that usually has sexual connotations and expresses the motives behind the murder, newspaper Tages Anzeiger reports.
After washing his hands, he left the apartment and called his wife to say he had killed his daughter. Fifteen minutes later, he called the police, who arrested him shortly after near his apartment.
In an interview with newspaper Blick, Swera's boyfriend explained that the girl's parents had strongly disapproved of her relationship with him, primarily because he was a Christian. The boy said she was desperate to get away from her parents and had already sought help from a local youth shelter.
According to the prosecutor, the defendant killed his daughter because she had violated his archaic values and had brought shame on the family. Krättli says the Pakistani man had planned the killing “in cold blood”.
The 53-year-old man has remained in custody since the girl's death. He will be tried in March not just for the brutal killing of his daughter, but also for allegedly trying to kill her three weeks earlier.
On April 20th, the pair had argued after the girl's father suspected she had been smoking marijuana.
Seizing his chance while she was in the bathroom, he pushed her into the bathtub, turned on the tap and threw a hairdryer into the water.
He wanted to electrocute her, the prosecutor alleges, but his attempt failed because of an in-built security system in the appliance to prevent electric shocks upon contact with water. On that occasion, the 16-year-old girl managed to get away before running to a friend’s home in her wet clothes.
Muslims commit more than 99% of so called "honor killing" in this world. They are the only people who have no value of human life and never have any remorse or any conscience preventing them of committing all these atrocious acts. Such people should be executed on the spot without any trial.
Perhaps in the same manner that they had dispatched their victims?
Had he been prepared, he would have a one way ticket to Karachi were the people understand things like honor killings...
Islam has an ax to grind against all infidels and betrayers of the faith.
When families are executioners to their offspring
"...The following are NOT subject to retaliation" and then lists — after the lovely, egalitarian "Muslim for killing a non-Muslim" and "Jewish or Christian subject ... for killing an apostate" — "(4) a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring's offspring"
Shari'ah law ('Umdat al-Salik o1.1-2) o2.4

Let me just repeat your comments:
"ISLAM IS 100% PURE EVIL WITH ZERO HUMANITY
"Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil"
(Thomas Mann, German writer)"
Amen!!
It was a reply to counterjihad2012!
Ok. Now I understand this better.
The West is decadent and has no moral values.
But islamic societies are beautiful and pure with morally upright men and women.
Sarc off://
What perverted values islam has generated in the hearts of its adherents.
All the world over, a father is supposed to care for and protect his children.
But for a muslim father, his religion says (in different words) you may kill your children and that will not be a crime in the eyes of allah.
Weird wackos.
The fact that the muslim father tried to kill her in the bathtub should have been the ultimate warning to the teenage girl. She should never have gone back to that house. Let's hope people reading this news story know better now.
I object to sullying the word of "honor". This is a rebellion killing pure and simple; every father is a mini moe.
They also sully the word "martyr". Devils.
Islam, the only religion that gives birth to its victims!
You know you are in trouble when you want to have peace and love in your life and they you realize you have Muslim parents..
"The man struck his daughter 19 times with the axe: 12 times with the blade and seven with the blunt end."
He must have been a pious Muslim.
"Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but "the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour 'provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.'"
State sponsored murder.
Ain't multiculturalism grand?
Why didn't they remove the girl from the home - no doubt it was deemed TOO SENSITIVE!!
::
One of Pakistan's High Courts either in Karachi.. ruled that a man can kill is daughter, wife, other female relative, in cases where it would be shown that the family's honor would be maintained or restored.
In a case - where the perpetrators of an honor killing had their convictions overturned.
Maybe 2009 Jan - or about.

You wonder if Swiss girl got a proper burial!
Honor killing is an exercise in eradication/ just as you excise the hand for theft - you excise a female member from the family.
The father had probably planned for her to marry a cousin - and enter her into the whole immigration-forced-marriage game - but she wasn't interested.
The [Western] state with all its babble about Islam this and that - they must know that they have a duty to protect these girls if they don't want to go along with the tradition.
These victims of honor killings always seem to return home.
Just like Shiite pilgrims who are repeatedly attacked and slaughtered,and yet continue going on pilgrimages.It's like having a death wish.
"Muslim hacks daughter to death with axe for dating a Christian"
It's a death penalty offense under sharia. Muslim women are not allowed to have relationships with non-Muslim men.
She was executed - and, also, ritually human-sacrificed - not only as punishment for having refused to grovellingly obey her father's diktats, but because she was probably seen as an actual or potential apostate from Islam, a defector from the Mob, and because she had a non-Muslim boyfriend who was not converting to Islam.
Mohammedans would rather murder their females than be humiliated by the spectacle of smart Muslim girls voting with their feet and opting to take woman-friendly non-Muslim men for lovers or as husbands.
The fact that under sharia - the law or rather antilaw/ unlaw - of Islam, a Muslim female is forbidden to take as lover or husband a man who is not a Muslim (and who is never going to become a Muslim) should be publicised, far and wide, and *loudly*, across the lands of the non-Muslims; along with stories like this, so every red-blooded non-Muslim male knows that if he has a Muslimah girlfriend, she (and he) are in serious danger, and that if the relationship is serious (it's not worth the risk unless they're truly serious, why get killed for a one-night stand) they are going to have to take major steps to protect and defend themselves, not only against the girl's family members and any hitmen the family may send after them, but also against free-lance self-appointed sharia-enforcing hitmen from the general body of the Ummah, or Mohammedan Mob.
Where a somewhat westernised Muslim girl of legal age (16 and upwards) is making overtures to a non-Muslim youth of man, that man needs to keep a cool head on his shoulders. (And his family and friends need to know the score, too, and be backing him up). He must make it absolutely clear, from the start, that he is never going to convert to Islam. That ought to put off the kind of Muslimah who - on her own initiative or at the behest of family - is using the good old 'honeypot' method to try to lure him into joining the Mob.
If the girl persists with the relationship after the young man has shown very clearly and firmly that he will NEVER become a Muslim, then he has to lay it on the line for her. He has to tell her that he knows their relationship is forbidden under Sharia, and that if she really wants him, and is serious about it, that she (and he) are in mortal danger. That she will have to be prepared to leave her family and break all contact with the Ummah. And he and she will have to be willing to fight for their lives and for their relationship; and others will have to be willing to help them do it.
He should not in conscience expect or ask her to apostasise, and to break with her family and with the Mob, unless he and his family and friends - backed up by the Infidel Authorities - are fully willing, and able, to defend her...by main force, if necessary.
