Victim of attempted honor killing speaks out

Video courtesy Answering Muslims.

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.

Islam is against honor killing it is than old arabic culture custom from before Islam.

Where is the Womens' Lib, where are the "moderate" Muslims or anybody from the Muslim world at least opposing to such stupid cruelty in the name of honor. The most honorable thing to do is to expose this criminalization and maiming of innocent children and women to protect them from this barbaric culture and religion of Islam. Yes they are all together, mideast culture,state and religion, under one umbrella=ISLAM. I am sick of it.

You're a liar!

There are many Islamic states where any attempt to modify this murderous behavior by law is resisted by Muslim clerics who say that any attempt to punish those who carry out these crimes would weaken the hold that Islam has over the family unit.

Islam is the culture, and the culture is Islam. There is no separation of the two.

You're a clown!

Acid attacks on the rise in ISLAMIC regions! A coincidence?

Robert

Thank you for correcting my error on the % of Honour-Killings done by muslims , or tied to islam.
I cited the 97% from an expert just last December but they may have meant that it was islamic Nations or muslim dominated Governaces where non-muslims absorbed the Cultural Norms or knew that killing a female relative may not warrant a prison sentence.


In canada , almost 100% of the killings were done by muslims or related to islamic backgrounds not only from new-comers, but the children of immigrants being poisoned in the radical mosques in canada.
Terrorism denial is just as bad from other faiths because canada had a mass-murdering of 240 civilians by Sikh Terrorist from B.C. that were in a Militant Sikh Temple known for bringing their past wars to canada. The Air-India bombings slaughtered about 330+ people including staff in japan as one of the bombs went-off too soon as baggage was transfered fro ma candian flight to India.
The biggest % of deaths was Children.

But the Liberal/leftists went on their Sikhism=Peace rants and assured candians that Sikhism had NOTHING to do with the mass-slaughter that kill 240 fellow Citizens of those 3 Sikh Terrorists , even when a Sikh Temple near me had regular fihgts over the power of candian temples the MSM refused to report the Sword fights and attacks right on the streets where chidlren played.

The real dirty secret for muslims in canada is the failed Honour-killings that don't make the Hit-List because the females fear being killed if they ask from help from the feminists or non-muslim police or Social workers to escape the death-sentence.
Shame on the feminists for remaining silent on this issue, could it be that it's mainly Brown-females being killed and they aren't really as Human as Western females?

What an outstanding video. We should make it go way viral.

No words can, adequately, describe this poor women pain … she does not cry, but her hunting eyes says it all.
Quran should have been set on fire not this poor women head …

she only fell in love …. is that a crime punishable by burning … No

I had a best friend and neighbor her name was Haifah when I was thirteen who killed her self for fear of honor killing by her family after she had feared discovery of her young love.

She had written a love letter to the boy she loved, and that letter, was discovered by me [ until today I wish I never sow that letter] in her book that she lend me, I gave the letter to my Mom who was My friend's and I, math teacher too….
My mother brought her and talked to her in calm manner and promised, to not to say anything to her family, if she stops writing love letter to the boy because she knew exactly what they would do to her ] ….
my friend was devastated of the discovery, fearing her family she sobbed for hours. After she calmed down, my mother sent her home after she had sworn to God she will never do iit again.
The next day we were awaken by horrible screams in the building I was slammed with the news that my friend was gone … I will never forget the sick feeling I had … it was pure torture .. to know if it was not for me my friend would have been still alive
I I still blame my self to this day … … But is it me or the Culture of Islam that make love is the worse thing a girl could do ???
The guilt was hard to deal with …. the girl family never knew, why their daughter killed her self.

I like this interview format in which the host just retells her whole story instead of wasting a great deal of time in an interview. the audience can see that she agrees and verifies that the retelling is correct.

An "Honour Killing" trial is wrapping up in Canada this week. Charged are a man, his second wife and his son. They're accused of pushing a car with his two daughters and 1st wife inside into the Welland Canal. They all drowned. The daughters had become too "Westernized" and both had boyfriends. I believe this is the first Canadian trial under new "honour" killing legislation so all eyes are on the Court and the eventual verdict. I know what my vote would be if I was on the jury.

Re: the SHAFIA TRIAL in Canada

Four women were honour-murdered in Canada in June, 2009. Three daughters and the "first wife" were killed by the father, his polygamous "second wife" and the son/brother. Their trial has been in the headlines for weeks and closing arguments will be presented on Tuesday, January 24. Google "Shafia trail" for more information. It's fascinating.

The murderers have lied to police, lied on the stand,and have an air of arrogant supremacism about them which suggests they believe they are smarter than the police and the Canadian justice system. The "second wife" even lectured the court for suspecting and actually arresting members of such a "respectful family" and for inventing evidence.

Much of the evidence is circumstantial, but I believe the Crown has proved its case. I only hope the jury agrees.

So sorry 56! :'-( So so sorry! It wasn't your fault. Be at peace. One day you will be reunited with your friend and all the tears will be wiped away forever.

Islam is a supremacist ideology of hate of non-Mulims simlar to Nazi supremacist ideology, which was pointed out by Mathias Kuntzel in his book on Jihad and Jew-Hatred: Islamism, Nazism and the Roots of 9/11 ...It is even worse, because it also promoted mysoginy, pedophilia, polygamy and murder for Allahu Akbar.

Islam itself is the ROOT CAUE of terrorism around the world and incompatible with the US and European Constitutions, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Rather than white-washing Islam and supporting CAIR and other Muslim organization in hiding TRUE nature of Koranic and Hadith teachings, the human rights groups should help REFORM Islam or stop support for these dastardly acts of terror over women!

pcpcp

Your post shows your compassionate heart and I thank you for your up lifting words.

But, did we, ever, have the control of our guilt when it springs on us ... I do not ... I know it is irrational but I can not help it ...

I tell my self she is gone to rest where no hardship is able to touch her and I am waiting for that day too ..not that I do not enjoy life now that I left Islam, I am happy I am out of it and that by it self is step up.

peace to all of us

This is all lies. The woman in the iron mask was clearly a lying Jew, the sister of the Pope or an evil polytheist hired by Ali Sina the FBI or CIA. I know it is so because time and time again, I have heard Muslim gentlemmen say how kind they are to their wives and daughters. Furthermore, as someome who has experienced Satan sleeping in my nose, had my ear urinated in and has kept angels from my house by owning a dog and hanging pictures on the wall, I am in a position to refute once and for all the idea that Muslim women are badly treated.

If you vist any Islamic website you will learn how women are greatly respected and well treated by the kindest of humans, the peace loving gentlemen who worship Allah(PBUH) and follow His Prophet and Messenger (Ditto). My Allah, many of these Muslim ladies have even been issued with mobile blue or black tents to prevent them being raped by marauding kaffirs. If you gentlemen keep believing these evil anti-Islam lies, when you die your skins wiil be burned off and you will be made to eternally drink molten brass. Always remember, Allah knows best...... and we know it is so because the Prophet said so.

we were created to forget, heart brakes, with the passing of time …
we are truly blessed ….. with out that, it would have been real torture

I am sorry for the repetition of my post … I do not know what happened

DefenderofIslam, and I suppose Islam is also against lying. Har, har, har. You have learned to taquiyya very well. Don't forget that most of us know the ins and outs of the Crime Syndicate of Islam.

P.S. We must destroy the Criminal Activity of Islam before the Criminal Activity of Islam destroys us. We must first destroy especially liars like DefenderofIslam.

ala sux, I've learned that feminists also like evil. That's mainly the reason that they don't say anything when evil occurs.
