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. In this case, of course, the victim was the murderer’s wife, a victim to the culture of violence and intimidation that such laws help create.
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 gives to honor killing is acknowledged and confronted, more women will suffer.
“False pride: Man kills daughter over ‘honour,’” Express Tribune, November 16, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
LAHORE: Police said on Saturday that a man had killed his 22-year-old daughter for honour late on Friday in Samanabad.
They said Shahzada Shahid Pervaiz, a resident of Samanabad, killed her after a heated argument. Police said he had knifed her. They said she was taken to Services Hospital where she had succumbed to her injuries. Police said the body had been sent to a mortuary for autopsy.
They said Pervaiz had surrendered to police and produced the knife he had used to kill her. Police said a case had been registered against him on the complaint of his wife.
Pervaiz said he had no remorse. He said he had been compelled to kill her as she wanted to marry for love. A forensic surgeon at Mayo Hospital said the deceased had been stabbed in the stomach, chest and shoulders. He said the body had been returned to the family of the deceased for burial. The complainant refused to speak to The Express Tribune regarding the incident. A neighbor said the deceased had wanted to marry a teacher of hers. The deceased was pursuing a degree in sociology at the Punjab University.

>He said he had been compelled to kill her as she wanted to marry for love
>marry for love
Love = haram, hate = halal.
Yep, a religion of peace indeed.

Muslim girls marrying for love: haram. Honor killing Muslim girls marrying for love: Pleasing to Allah.
or how about this:
Remember: drinking and selling alcohol are immoral acts; murdering those who do so, on the other hand, is :Pleasing to Allah.
or how about this:
Idol worship is haram: shooting non Muslims,mainly Hindus, stabbing them, throwing stones at their heads, poisoning them, running them over, burning their fields,spitting in their faces :Pleasing to Allah

“Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide.”
Wow! I am beginning to suspect that Islam is a pig bath religion, since from bottom to top there is nothing but rot.
Jaladhi says
I think Muslims commit 100% of the honor killing– ok, if not 100% perhaps 99.9999%.
There is no doubt about that!!
mtman2 says
Yeah, like who else does such a thing except unbalanced,
unprincipled and pagan persons without conscience or love ~!

You are only coming to that conclusion now?
Jay Boo says
Sorry, I forgot to add ‘sarc’
If you review some of my older comments you would see this is not a new discovery.
Wtf? says
The Muslim Comedy Show continues unabated.
john spielman says
Hey, pigs can be very clean house pets and are very intelligent., more than be said for this guy who live in; CRAPISTAN!
Jaladhi says
This is the followers of the evil cult Islam- always ready to kill, even their own. Their god Mo/allah is always pleased with human sacrifices!
Edison says

But here in America we are assured that Islam is a beautiful religion, a wonderful religion of peace and love.
Jerry says
“we are assured that Islam is a beautiful religion, a wonderful religion of peace and love.”
Islam is the religion of the peace of the dead in the ongoing genocide they carry against all others, and sometimes even against each other.
It is surely also a religion of love, if only the love of death and killing, especially if killing the innocents counts.
Keith says
Yes well they are hoping that if it is repeated often enough people will believe them.
Buraq says
Unrequited hate! Islam’s relationship with Dar al-Harb.
Clown!
mortimer says
Vigilantism is normative Islam, because it is permitted in Sharia law by omitting punishments for those who murder their children or for those who murder apostates or blasphemers. These three categories are not prosecuted under Sharia.
The perpetrators get off free. They are doing a service for blood-thirsty Allah.
Darren says
Yet another difference between islam and the rest of the world. Everywhere else people are taught to love women, islam is taught most women are going to hell and they are below animals. How do women defend this religion? Never mind I already know they suffer from battered wife syndrome and a whole host of other mental problems due to years of abuse from muslim men.
The Shark says
So perpetrators of honor killings are not Muslim but must be ISIL, correct?
Dave J says
Where is the “honor” in murdering your own daughter?
Muslims seem to get everything backwards, in a pathological way.
Rob Crawford says
She didn’t want to marry her elderly uncle or other relative, and wanted to marry someone who wasn’t a blood relation. That risks putting the line of inheritance outside the klan, as well as children who aren’t in-bred enough to accept Islam.
It’s not about “honor”, but greed. Plus the hatred if anything but obedience to tyranny.
Joginder Singh says
muslims what to you expect from the members of a cult started by an illiterate paedophile that refuses to move out of the seventh century…..You wont be getting things like civilisation, culture, reasoning, free thought or free will from muslims
Twostellas says
Love is unIslamic.
Salah says
“Until the encouragement Islamic gives to honor killing is acknowledged and confronted, more women will suffer.”
“Animal rights is the idea that some, or all, non-human animals are entitled to the possession of their own lives, and that their most basic interests – such as an interest in not suffering – should be afforded the same consideration as the similar interests of human beings…” (Wikipedia)
Question: Good. But what about women’s and minorities’ right under Islam?
Answer: Uhh………(total silence.)
Charli Main says
Difficult to understand why so many “Western” women are rabid supporters of and defenders of Islam.
What sane woman, that has not been brainwashed from birth, would want to spend her life covered from head to foot in a black garbage bag and be treated like shit by her male owner??????????????
PJG says
Because converting to Islam in the West makes them “special”, and they are valued as tools of da’wa. Every female Western convert is a coup for Islam, so for the meantime they do well out of it – lots of attention and dressing like a queen.

An idiot who has NOT done her “homework”about what izlam actually IS, and does not yet realize that she has stepped into quicksand.
Marian Jesse says
Muslims fear women feeling love for a man. Muslims fear women enjoying sex. Muslim men know that they are not worthy of love. And if they had to actually please a women…well…FORGET ABOUT THAT!

Poor Mother
Ayatrollah says
Someone needs to tell the daughter it is not Islam that drove her father to stab her. It was culture, thereby freeing allah’s final religions of any responsibility.
DiMu says
Where is the outcry from the Western feminists?
Veracious_one says
because love is Un-Islamic
