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.
“Brothers behead teen sister in Bareilly, display head,” by Mrigank Tiwari, TNN, August 18, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
BAREILLY: Two brothers, enraged by the affair their 17-year-old sister was carrying on with a cousin, beheaded the girl and marched around the village with the severed, bleeding head. The incident occurred at Bamani Chowki village, under the jurisdiction of Paraur police station in Shahjhanapur district on Monday.
Gul Hasan, 25, and his brother Nanhey, 20, spotted their sister Phool Jahan outside the house of their cousin on Monday afternoon. The girl had also spent the night at her cousin’s house. She had earlier expressed a desire to marry him. Her brothers had opposed the idea of marriage and warned her to stay away from their cousin.
Enraged that she had also spent the night there, they dragged her away and cut her head off with a chopper. Marching around the village with their sister’s head, the brothers said, “Dekho, hamne apni behen ko maar dala aur pyar karney ki yehi sazaa hoti hai” (This is what happens as punishment for having an affair.)

Many people across the globe are losing their humanity. Gory, bloody, death by any and all means for just any old reason, or no reason.
And yes, it can be laid at the demonic feet of satan, although he is not popular here, he is behind the evil.
What these guys did to their sister is evil. They thought better dead than wed to someone they didn’t choose for her. How evil.
Jack says
The Scriptures warns us that the loss of “Natural Affection” will happen on a broader scale during the “Latter Days” it’s worse now by far in America than any previous time, look at many parents how they are treating their children and many young people have zero respect for the elderly, that alone has changes so much since I was a boy it;s scary to think about and it will get much worse, if they want something you have they will simply over-power you and take it, without any remorse.

Absolutely! Christ said lawlessness would increase, love of the many would grow cold and every man’s hand would be against his brother. (Matthew 24).
We are witnessing what He said would happen.
Richard James says
“Many people across the globe are losing their humanity”
humanity
hjʊˈmanɪti/
noun
2. the quality of being humane; benevolence.
“he praised them for their standards of humanity and care”
synonyms: compassion, brotherly love, fellow feeling, humaneness, kindness, kind-heartedness, consideration, understanding, sympathy, tolerance, goodness, good-heartedness, gentleness, leniency, mercy, mercifulness, pity, tenderness, benevolence, charity, generosity, magnanimity
“he praised them for their standards of humanity, care, and dignity”
Well over a billion people across the globe have never attained humanity in the first place – they call themselves “muslims”.
One’s humanity must be learnt. Obeying the lies and vicious laws of Muhammad and growing up in the perverted culture founded on his psychopathic and murderous example preclude that learning.
People in the Counter-jihad often scoff at the claim that the inner jihad is greater than the outer jihad but this is the truth – the inner jihad is the process of installing the laws of Muhammad in one’s mind and one’s soul to internalise the Sharia and remodel one’s mind to match that of their disgusting “Messenger of al-Lah”.
That is what Muslims learn instead of humanity and not only is it designed to preclude compassion, charity, mercy and all the rest of the humane qualities listed above, it is designed also to obliterate natural affection so that one can hack off the head of one’s own sister.
I am a life-long atheist but Muhammadanism comes close to persuading me by negative example that God exists because Muhammadanism feels even to me like the work of Satan.

If evil were a substance that could be distilled, that distillation would be called Islam.
We may not need to deal with these people when we do not need the oil.
But, it will be too late. There are millions of them within the civilised world.
Breeding like rats & beyond criticism by the authorities for reasons of cowardice, vote harvesting, bribary & self loathing

People become like the god they worship. Christians are told to put their minds and hearts on whatever things are virtuous…many of which you cited in your definition of humanity.
You have also clearly shown what those who practice islam have in their minds and hearts.

This was not some random violence. This savagery was done in the name of Islam.
Islam is resurgent in much of the globe now, which accounts for a majority of the gory, bloody death in the world today.
Peggy says
There is absolutely no love in Islam. Brothers are supposed to protect their sisters not kill them. How can a human not have any love or compassion at all? While they were growing up didn’t they develop any warm feelings toward their sister?
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
I know Peggy; isn’t it hard to imagine?
But then we’re in the [judeo/christian] West by the grace of God, and so we’re raised with a personal God, One Who loves His children, nothing whatever like the monstrous mohammed (pee be upon him). Or his god-as ‘some’ pointed out above-who is of course Satan.
We must never, never stop praying for their conversion. But I feel your loving kindness, in crying aloud at the thought of the interminable desolation and misery of the islamic world.
jayell says
“Brothers are supposed to protect their sisters not kill them.”
Right And aren’t sisters supposed to protect brothers as well? Or is this the usual western feminist one-way street?
Jay Boo says
I feel sorry for the brothers.
All they have is the disgraceful Serpent of Satan, Muhammad to emulate.
What a miserable existence it must be to live as a Muslim.
gravenimage says
jayell, Phool Jahan did nothing to harm or endanger her brothers. All Peggy and Kathy suggested was that these brutal Muslims should not have murdered their sister.
That you took this as some sort of anti-male Western feminism is just odd.
Charli Main says
They probably did develop ” warm feelings” for their sister and when she rejected them, in favour of those of her cousin, hacked her head off in Islamic justified moral outrage.
Lookmann says
Jeez, Charlie ! That’s quite possible,indeed.
dumbledoresarmy says
Yes. There was a case in Israel of a young Muslim girl, part of the Muslim Ummah colony inside Israel, who was raped and made pregnant by *her own brothers*. Her dear mama, instead of denouncing the boys as incestuous rapists, attempted to murder the poor girl in order to erase the ‘shame’. She didn’t quite manage it, if I recall correctly, and – this being in Israel, not in some Muslim hell-hole – the attempted murder was most thoroughly investigated, and out came all the nasty, nasty facts – the incest rape of a girl by her own brothers, and the mother who would murder a daughter in order to protect the nonexistent ‘honour’ of rapist sons. I can’t give a link – it would be somewhere in the mountains of files I have – but I know it happened.
Also, in the UK there is an apostate from Islam, now a Christian, called “Hannah Shah” (nom de plume). She was born and raised inside the Pakistani Muslim ‘community’ in the UK. In her book “The Imam’s Daughter” (her father was an imam) she recounts how, when she was *six*, she dared to remonstrate with her father when he was beating her mother. In order to ‘punish’ his uppity little daughter he…raped her. And went on raping her, incestuously, until she was about sixteen and could somehow muster up the strength and smarts to run away.

and they are so Hotheaded and violent living in a culture that promote death and blood and murder

Diana says
Unspeakably evil but still quite unsurprising this latest act of depraved barbarity.
You can indeed judge a tree by the fruit it bears. Islam bears no wholesome fruit but it seems only more violence, rape and murder.
Ah well – scarping the bottom of the barrel here to find any upside to this latest outrage ….. at least the brothers stopped their poor sister from giving birth to yet another consanguineous offspring – who as Nicolai Sennels & others have pointed out are subject to far more congenital birth defects and an average IQ about 10 points lower than others in their cohort.
Cicero says
Muslims who intermarry do produce offspring who are cognitively and physically challenged.
However there are many many highly intelligent muslims who marry outside their blood relatives andproduce bright children.
BRITAIN is awash with all these clever muslims who proliferate in enterprise, education and the professions. However just by virtue of being so highly educated at theBritish tax payers expense does not mean that they have becomemore progressive and enlightened.
In fact it is the more educated ones who cling most fervently to the codes of Islam and are the spokepersons and leaders of their communities ( apart from the imams who lead from the mosque)
DiMu says
The moral bankruptcy of the West has allowed Islam to flourish. When the big ideals (love, honesty, truth) are removed from the pond we live in, all that remains are the bottom feeders. Moral bankruptcy is the bacterial bloom in which they thrive.
Diana says
No sorry mate – what a load of BSh!t “The moral bankruptcy of the West has allowed Islam to flourish.”
No the moral bankruptcy of islam has allowed this death cult to perpetrate. Blind adherence to the thinly veiled fascism at the heart (does it even have a heart – no of course not but I digress) of the islam islame cult is to blame. Not us – get real please.
” When the big ideals (love, honesty, truth) are removed from the pond we live in, all that remains are the bottom feeders. Moral bankruptcy is the bacterial bloom in which they thrive.”
Yeah – great but oh so wrong because love, honesty and truth are far more present here in the west and all civilised places. These attributes have always and forever will be absent from islam.
desidude2 says
perhaps what DiMu means is the moral relativism of the west. this view holds that all faiths and beliefs are equivalent and you can’t judge other faiths because you have biases feel superior. With this attitude the west has opened wide it’s gates to allow in massive numbers of people with beliefs that are directly contradictory to the judeo christian beliefs.
Cicero says
Wow Desi Dude you are so sharp and discerning. I agree that itis the moral relativism of the West which has led to its bankruptcy!
For example Britain is welcoming hundreds of young men from Islamic lands and gving them love care education,healthand other resources including legal advice in order that they may settle here .
One such man arrived recently . He is the son of an Afghanistan Imam! The foster family and social worker have already provided him with. koran, prayer abd takes him to mosque twice a day!!!
Today two muslims came to my front door – one came to read the meter and the other in full hijab was a young african woman who said she was collecting on behalf of the Royal National Society for the blind.
My GP is a Salafist within an all Islamic GP practice- but that is anotehr story whichI will save for another time.
voegelinian says
DiMU is partially correct, but his rhetoric seems rather ummoored toward the dark pessimism and alienation that leads to conspiracy theory. Yes, certain cultural moral weaknesses of the West help to predispose it to its PC MC deference to Islam in the name of cultural relativism; and yes, the alacrity with which a widespread minority seem positively disposed to praise Islam if not then jump ship to join it, bespeaks a moral-existential rot. The question is how prevalent this problem is. We must resist the temptation that leads to alienation from our own West we have deemed to be already doomed. Among other disastrous things, that would be a supremely ironic mirror-image of the Westerner who cuts all his ties to the West by converting to Islam.
Angemon says
In a civilized culture, having an affair with someone is frowned upon, but not a crime (even with a cousin, although, ewwwww). Taking a life (generally) is, particularly in such an unjustified and brutal fashion. I hope “feminists” are taking notes, because this is what they’re fighting for.

I am pretty sure I am not the only person who does not consider these – beings – members of the human race.
Islam = No Soul no spirit, no conscience, no capacity to have compassion, love, empathy, any of the human emotions.
Islam = Evil. Destruction. Lies.
And Satan is the Father of the Lie.
Islam of Satan through and through.
