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.
“Police suspects honour killing in Meerut,” The Hindu, June 20, 2015:
A seventeen-year-old girl was allegedly killed by her father in what appears to be a case of honour killing. According to police, Yusuf Ali Quraishi, a resident of Adda village in Meerut, strangulated his daughter Rubina on Friday allegedly for having an affair with her neighbour Ajju.
“Quraishi strangulated his daughter while she was in deep sleep. Rubina’s family didn’t like Ajju and was against the affair between the two,” Mundali police official Wasim Khan told the media.
“Rubina’s body was found in a drain in the neighbouring Ghaziabad district. Rubina’s family is missing and a search is on to nab them,” the police official said.
duh_swami says
Strangulated…There’s a lot of people I would like to strangulate…not to death, just till they turn blue.
Looks like the daughter may have fallen into the zina trap, making her eligible for punishment. It’s not the first honor killing because the family objected to the male. The family may not be running from police as much as from Ajju’s revenge…
Dumping the body in a drain was a sweet touch, wasn’t it?

Dear God in Heaven. Your own child! I’ll never get used to hearing these things. And I’m glad I won’t; some horrors are too unthinkable for calm.
Dee says
And they call this a peaceful religion? I don’t call it a religion at all. It’s a terrorist cult.
Betty says
Dee I couldn’t agree more. it is not only their children that will suffer. every one else that has children will also suffer. and grand children it is sickening at what they are getting by with. call me what ever you like. it want change me and what I believe in.I believe in JESUS CHRIST THE SON OF GOD. AND WILL ALWAYS SAY OLD MO IS THE SON OF SATAN. AND THE MUSLIMS ARE DOING JUST WHAT HE WANTS. MORE SOULS GOING TO HELL TO BURN FOR EVER.
Joseph says
@ Dee
Wait….hold on here; if they are calling Islam peaceful I’d hate to think of what it is going to be like when it becomes violent and murderous.
I bet we haven’t seen nothing yet, this is the beginning…the “peaceful” part. Next it is going to be a contest between Muzlims on who can be the most vile.
Champ says
Ditto, Kathy. These are always such heart-wrenching stories. And there’s certainly no “honour” in murdering ones own child. Just as there’s no “peace” within islam, either.
Jaladhi says
Muslims commit 99.99999% of honor killings and not just 91%!! Any news about honor killing involves a Muslim. They have this false notion of of honor which always gets them in the murderous rage and they don’t hesitate to kill their own daughter, wife or son, father and any other blood relative!!
Angemon says
Kids being kids.
Ayatrollah says
Well it is the families right. Only an infidel would say they can’t kill her. Whose law is highest, man’s law or Allah’s law.
Betty says
AYATROLLAH. FIRST AND FOR MOST GOD OF THE HOLY BIBLE LAWS COME FIRST. AND MANS LAW TO TAKE OF THE PEOPLE THAT KILL THEIR CHILDREN FOR NO REASON.AND HONOR IS NOT A GOOD ENOUGH REASON. you destroy your honor by killing for no reason. mo was evil and the ones that follow him are evil.and doing satans work. and JESUS CHRIST IS NOT PLEASED WITH THESE THINGS. MOST MUSLIMS ARE DOING IT IS EVIL.
Joseph says
After dumping her body in a drain they(family) runs away. That is really HONORABLE of them.
If they thought the murder was just then they should not have any fear of repercussions then…right?
I hope this poor girl’s death gets avenged. That is the honorable thing to do.
Holy Prophet APF says
Brown bears kill their young. Adult male bears are insane, mixed up by being both a parent and a maintainer of its territorial imperative. But the brown bear will kill a male cub as easily as a female, so they are at least not sexist (or genderist).
Moslems kill their young. Adult male Moslems are insane, mixed up by being both a parent and a maintainer of the imperative of the Cause commanded by Allah and exemplified by the Holy Prophet (Mohammed, not me). But the male Moslem will kill only a female, so they are sexist (or genderist).
I am still waiting for the groundswell of analysis and protest about this from the globo-socialist feminists manning the nation’s many Womens Studies Depts. “Manning,” get it?
Westman says
The feminist organizations have been entirely missing in the discussion of Muslima Rights. They are either cowards, defunct, or sated in their own success.

COUSIN MARRIAGE ENABLES HONOR KILLINGS
Over half of Muslims marry a first cousin.
Sharia law says “retaliation is obligatory”. As well, it permits “killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.” (‘Umdat al-Salik o1.1-2)
The New Testament opposes Sharia: “Avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” (Rom.12:19)
When one reads Sharia law, one is convinced that Islam is a Death Cult. For that reason, no one who believes in ‘Umdat al-Salik o1.1-2 should gain residency in a Western country, since they reject the rule of law and they declare allegiance to a totalitarian authority incompatible with democratic pluralism.
65% of Muslims want strict Sharia law, which means they approve of honor killing. Two out of three Muslims should not have residency in a Western country. They should be paid to leave.
Betty says
PAY THEM LET THEM PAY THEIR OWN WAY TAKE THEIR WELFARE MONEY THEY GET AND USE IT TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY.
Piccolino says
It is not Allah’s law but it is the pedophile Muhammad who made the law and claimed it came from God.
Walter Sieruk says
This cruel brutal vicious Islamic custom of “honor killing” not only exposes the ruthless, malice-filled and hideously extreme malicious misogyny that is so much part of the essence of Islam but furthermore this callous Islamic tradition is so ingrained with injustice and madness and is so awful that there are many cases that even if a girl or women is a rape victim, She and not the rapist is punished, sometimes she is even put to death in an “honor killing.” This is a terrible act of injustice to punish the victim and not the evil man who is the rapist. This is outrageous and absurd. This heinous affront of punishing the innocent and not is guilty is detested by the God of the Bible. For the Bible teaches “The Lord hates two things, punishing the innocent and letting the guilty go free.” Proverbs 17:15. [E.R.V.]

………………………….
The importance of names: daddy dearest has the absurd Muslim surname “Quraishi”, which is especially common among Indian Muslims. It indicates that the bearer is a direct descendant of Muhammed’s own tribe, despite the fact that most Indian Muslim’s ancestors are not Arab at all, but Hindus who converted out of either fear or disgust at being treated as oppressed dhimmis.
Significant, also, is the name Aiju, which is likely Hindu—so Rubina was not just guilty of “Zina”, but guilty of Zina with a “filthy Infidel”.
Of course dear old dad had to brutally murder her and dump her body in a drain.
And now the whole family—who were likely all complicit in the sick crime, have decamped.
And all of this is perfectly Islamic—except that in Dar-al-Islam they would not have had to leave, because “Honor Killings” are not treated as crimes in much of the Muslim world, and not as serious crimes in most of it.
God, I hate Islam. There is no love in Islam, and no forgiveness. What a vicious, hateful creed.
Peggy says
Honour and Islam do not belong in the same sentence.
How can it be an honour killing when there is NO honour in Islam?
Peggy says
It takes two to tango so what’s going to heppen to the neighbour? Is he going to be given a brand new 10 year old to marry? Funny how his parents don’t kill him for the same thing.
Evil savages.
BC says
I would like to know what other religious or social groups commit ‘honour killings’ As far as i know it is only Muslims who think they have the right to do it.
Uncle Vladdiq says
Re: “Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide.”
Actually, muslims commit 100% of “honour” killings worldwide.
See, even in India, the practice started with islam, and even the Hindu “suti” practice of wives burning themselves alive began with a princess who, upon learning that her husband’s army had lost to the muslims, and he’d been killed in battle, declared that she would rather take her own life than be raped by muslims.
The rest of them happen ONLY in countries whose people and woman-hating, lazy, macho “cultures” are all derived from Spain – which had of course itself been violently invaded, genocided, raped enslaved and conquered by islam for nearly 1,000 years previously, to the extent that Spain and her colonies are all genetically Arabs and still ‘culturally’ criminal muslims.
