Honor killing in India: Muslim family beheads daughter’s boyfriend

Feb 8, 2014 12:03 pm By Robert Spencer

The couple had fled in order to get married, but the girl’s family lured them back.

This is an Islamic phenomenon, and can only be stopped if it is confronted as such. 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.

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.”

“Bulandshahr: Honor killing takes life of Muslim boy,” by Urvashi Singhal for Parda Phash, February 6 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Bulandshahr: Despite the laws passed by the government, cases of honor killing are not ready to stop in the country. Every now and then, we hear 2-3 cases related to honor killing. As per reports, another incident has been reported from Bulandshahr where a Muslim boy was killed by the family members of a Muslim girl because the two of them were in love with each other. Also, the girl has gone missing.

Reports suggest that the girl had fled with the boy in order to get married because they knew that their family members would never accept their relation. However, when the girl’s parents came to know about it, they contacted their daughter and asked her to come back with the boy.

The parents comforted their daughter by saying that once she is back, they would let her marry the boy she was in love with. However, they defied her trust by killing the boy at the time of marriage.

The boy was beheaded by the members of the girl’s family. As of now, the police is interrogating into the matter.

    Honor killing comes straight out from the Gates of Hell. Sharia is a curse on civilization.

    Westerners mistakenly assume there is a moderate islam when sharia law is islam and permits honor killing.

    “I have six daughters. three that I married off by age 9 and three that I had to honor-kill for the sake of Allah’s honor.
    And what about you, I heard that you also have six daughters.”

    “Yes, that is true but I have only honor killed one my daughters out of the six for Allah’s honor. I am so very ashamed that I am not a good devout Muslim like you.”

    “..a Muslim boy was killed by the family members of a Muslim girl because the two of them were in love with each other.”

    They were in love? There’s no such thing as LOVE in Islam, Islam is anti-love.
    He should have raped her, then “forced” to marry her. This would have been more Islamic!

        No, I’m not an ex-Muslim, I’m a Catholic. I just grew up in Egypt, I know the language and I read a lot.

    Muslims are hungry for love, but all they allowed is unrequited love for Allah and His messenger.

    Under this sick Islamic system, didn’t they kill the wrong one? To “restore the family honor,” don’t they have to kill the daughter? Well, then again, she is “missing.”

      That’s exactly what I was thinking.

    “The parents comforted their daughter by saying that once she is back, they would let her marry the boy she was in love with. However, they defied her trust by killing the boy at the time of marriage.”

    But… but… I thought it was haram to practice taqiyya against fellow muslims.
    And I definitely thought it was rather uncivil to behead a fellow muslim. With all the lying and deceiving and violence, I’m confused. I thought islam was the “Religion of Peace”. (sarc/off)

    There are many misguided secularist non Muslims in India who think that whatever the problems the Muslims are creating all over the world won’t happen in India because these are secularist Indian Muslim, that these Muslims are Indian First and Muslim 2nd. This is the height of delusional thinking, these Muslims are like any other Muslims in the world and they do place their religion above any country. Despite Indian laws, they are engaging in honor killings, and various jihads, such as womb jihad, love jihad, and ballot box jihad.

      I seem to remember a train full of Hindus being burned alive by muslimes in India after the muslimes blocked the exits from the train cars. How could anyone in India forget that? Or Mumbai? Then again how could anyone forget 9-11, Ft. Hood shootings, Beltway Sniper, Boston marathon bombing…

    Even thought I agree that honour killing etc is wrong, I disagree with the generalist comments that people have posted here. There are many Muslim people out there who are nothing like this. To generalize and say that all Muslims are the same is wrong. This is racism all over again. Why do you think so many people flee their countries? It is to escape the shaira Laws As Well As The Oppression I Their Own Countries. In every religion there are people who can see the right from wrong in what they do and then there are those Extremists. You see it in almost every religion. Just think about all the religious cults you see. This shouldn’t be about racism and the dismissal of another religion and culture. This should be about educating people about human rights. And yes it will take time and people will suffer because change takes time. Look back in history and u will see how long it took people to stop treating African American people the way they did. All change takes time what people don’t realize as well is that it is their culture. It may be morally wrong to us but that is what they grow up with. To break the cycle u must start somewhere. Branding all Muslim people as the evil people is doing nothing more than dividing our nations. It is sad. And maybe because I have lived in many countries and experienced many things that I think this way. But u cannot brand a judge a person based on religion, skin color, race, or anything. And people who do that are just uneducated and unjustified in their statements.
