In the Qur’an, a mysterious figure, known as Khidr in Islamic tradition, kills a boy in an apparently random and gratuitous attack. He then explains: “And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief. So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.” (18:80-81)
And according to Islamic law, “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.” (Reliance of the Traveller o1.1-2).
Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. 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.”
Until the encouragement Islamic law gives to honor killing is acknowledged and confronted, more women will suffer.
“Honour killing: Gujranwala man murders wife, four children,” The News International, January 21, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
GUJRANWALA: A man in Gujranwala has allegedly killed his wife and four children, police revealed on Thursday.
The murders, police said, were committed by the woman’s husband, identified as Imran.
According to Geo News, after being arrested, Imran confessed to committing the crime, the police said, adding that it was a case of “honour killing” as per Imran’s confession.
Police added that the accused also confessed to “killing all of his children who woke up from their sleep and witnessed him killing their mother.”
Cases of violence against women seem to be on a rise in the country as several cases of honour killing were reported earlier this month.
A man identified as Liaquat Shar allegedly killed his sister over suspicion of having “illicit relations” with a boy in Ubauro, a town in Sindh’s Ghotki district to save his “honour,” per police.
The suspect, however, managed to escape arrest and fled before he could be detained….

Muslim countries need to appropriate the American sitcom, All In The Family. Each episode would feature a family member/s on family member/s honor killing/s. It would be a laugh out loud riot! Who said Islam couldn’t be the stuff of fun and laughter? This show would surely put the lie to the notion that Islam is hideous and barbaric.

; Scratch a Muhammadan, find a family abuser/destroyer, pointing out a passages in their “holy books” justifying abuse/murders.
Muhammadanism isn’t minding their numbers.
Quality instead of quantity is the wisdom to seek.
Hundreds-of-thousands of new devotees using a religion as an excuse to be sociopath isn’t good advertising for their religion, and that religion, again, is responsible for, another, in a long list of reasons why people despise Muhammadanism.

This is becoming more and more common in the West as we import more Muslims.

Pakistan seems to be like a horror film, full of brain dead, brainwashed individuals whose only goal in life, apart from eating and procreating is to slaughter every one and everything that is’nt like them. Now they are infesting and infecting Europe like a loathesome disease.
Keith O says
Sylvia, That’s a pretty accurate description of Islam and the behavior of mudslimes.
The big problem is, it’s not just Europe that is being torn apart by Islam. It’s a world wide infestation.

There is no ‘honor” in this. Murder of family members…wife and kids…is satanic. There should be another word used by the news reporters and it should be made clear to the murderous scum that the murders will not be labeled “honor killings” but “moslim for islam murders”, or “moslim ego murders”.
moslims are being pampered by the world and everyone acquiesces to their evil need for a cover-up. They have no honor. They have gigantic egos and are afraid that other moslims will see that they have problems they can’t solve…wife won’t cook, daughter won’t wear scarf or has non moslim boyfriend, or job or all three of these; or doesn’t want to be sold into sex slavery to some filthy old male to be raped five times a day.
It’s a filthy, evil, satanic, demonic, psychopathic. lawless business thought up by an evil, mass-murdering, raper of children, filthy slug slimy creature, lying son of satan the devil for his own evil pleasure and sexyak gratification. There is no “honor” in any of it.

Wow, don’t hold back.
Actually I’m impressed, I thought I was pretty good at describing the cult of Satan but that pretty much covers all of the bases.

Thank you, gregbeetham.

Chesler questions her 2009 91% figure as definitive, simply because of the nature of the subject and the data. https://phyllis-chesler.com/articles/honor-killing-is-not-just-a-muslim-problem

Actually, despite that headline, if you read the article Phyllis Chesler does indeed confirm that most of these cases are Muslim.
tim gallagher says
Atrocities like this seem to be committed by the Muslim maniacs in Pakistan day after day. It seems to be a shit of a country. In this particular case, how could this satanically evil piece of crap claim that it is somehow an “honour killing” for him to murder his four children because they happened to see him murdering his wife. Surely even the braindead fuckwits that run the legal system in Pakistan couldn’t buy that load of crap. Then again, I find that everything about Islam and how it views life is irrational and totally barbaric and evil, so maybe they’ll let this mass murdering scumbag off and accept his crime as being a Muslim “honour killing”. Islam is one very sick ideology and Pakistan has to be one of the sickest countries in the world.
OLD GUY says
How rational of them. Honor Killing of your family approved by their beloved Muhammad and Allah. That sounds more like the DEVIL’S actions rather than a loving GOD. Islam is a political organization with world dominance as its goal.

Pakistan: Muslim murders his wife and four children in honor killing
…………..
Just horrifying–the poor victims. And Pakistan being what it is, he will likely never be prosecuted.
