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 law gives to honor killing is acknowledged and confronted, more women will suffer.
“Sahiwal man shoots two sisters dead in ‘honour killing,'” AFP, March 2, 2016 (thanks to Lookmann):
LAHORE: Police in Sahiwal are tracing a man who shot dead both his sisters in an apparent “honour killing”.
Mohammad Asif had previously murdered his mother four or five years ago, according to police, before being pardoned at the time by his family and set free.
The latest killings occurred in the village of Noorshah in Sahiwal district, in the central province of Punjab.
“Mohammad Asif, who is in his late twenties, shot his two sisters late last night because he doubted their characters and was against their lifestyle,” local police official Allah Ditta Bhatti told AFP.
He said the sisters died on the spot while Asif fled.
“He had killed his mother around four or five years ago and was set free after his family pardoned him,” Bhatti said.
The incident was confirmed by other officials at the local police station.
On Monday a father in Lahore shot dead his 18-year-old daughter because she could not account for where she had been for about five hours….
Hundreds of women are murdered by their relatives in Pakistan each year on the pretext of defending family “honour”.
Pakistan amended its criminal code in 2005 to prevent men who kill female relatives escaping punishment by pardoning themselves as an “heir” of the victim.
But it was left to a judge’s discretion to decide whether to impose a prison sentence when other relatives of the victim forgive the killer — a loophole which critics say remains exploited….

Jay Boo says
Who is the real victim?
These poor hateful men who feel such insecurity when their Islamic vanity fix wears off that would murder their own mothers and sisters rather than glance at the pathetic emptiness of Islam and its evil buffoon founder Muhammad would suffer emotionally if not for the encouragement and camaraderie of Muslim male mob-ruled society.
Islam is so fragile as an ideology that Muslim leaders dare not put these men in prison lest Muslims be force to admit Islam’s shameful history.
Panmelia says
This murderer is a family annihilator who will probably get away with it, supported by some islamic scholar defending him on the grounds that his mothers and sisters were un-islamic sluts and had it coming.
Islam is a wonderful religion for the nurturing and encouragement of serial killers, family annihilators, psychopaths, sociopaths, wife killers, wife beaters, rapists, sexual abusers, domestic tyrants, and arrogant macho thugs.
Every negative male trait of violence, aggression, feelings of superiority, sexual rapaciousness, sexism and misogyny – traits that are discouraged and legislated against in the West – are fostered and validated in islam, in the koran, in the haditha, in sharia law, and by the examplification of moMAD as the ‘perfect man’.
Islam – it’s not just in a faraway foreign country, it’s in YOUR country and growing in influence every day.
gravenimage says
Vicious Muslim apologist poster Rezali Mehil claims that the murderers are the “real victims” in “Honor Killings” because they are forced by the actions of the victim to kill.
Morally, I believe the victims are the victims.
Muslims may be thoroughly indoctrinated by Islam, and frequently live in societies that reinforce the tenets of that foul creed, as well–but Muslims are human beings, and hence have free moral agency. No non-insane adult is ever forced to slaughter his own relatives in “Honor Killings”–it is always a choice, and a morally indefensible one.
Simone Fields says
I’ve been wondering why there aren’t many women amongst the ‘refugees’!
Nobody ever questions where the mothers,daughters and grandmothers are! It’s sheer madness. No-one ever says why aren’t these men worried about the mothers they’ve left behind instead of raping and rioting.
john spielman says
islam sanctifies (makes holy) murder stealing lying rape(temporary marriages, slave sex) necrophilia, and pedophilia; all because muhammed, islam’s “perfect man”, was guilty of such things. No wonder criminals flock to such a demonic religion!

Soooo… stopping murder in the community would violate religion and go against family values???
Did I get that right? Culture of death and slaughter would be hurt if murder were illegal?
How very ‘religious’.
Jay Boo says
Yet they call us in the West shameful for not allowing them total free entry.
BBC World did a sympathetic piece with a Muslim asylum seeker who being full of BBC encouraged Muslim entitlement syndrome complained that all countries should have open borders (meaning the West) and said that having Muslims bunch up in Calais, France waiting to be allowed to enter the UK is undignified.
These are the kind of people we are dealing with.
They have no shame.

Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
The scot-free provision of ‘Umadt al-Salik o1.1-2 does not apply to the killing of a mother or sibling, only to the killing of a child or grandchild. As such, this is an enlightened pro-abortion policy. But what aya or hadith is the basis for this policy, and must the abortion be do-it-yourself, or may it be entrusted to a kill-for-hire entrepreneur such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermit_Gosnell ? We need a fatwa.
gravenimage says
Generally the horrific story of “Musa” and Al-Kidr seem to be the basis for “Honor Killing”–Al Kidr murders an inoffensive young man, and when Musa chides him for it, he explains that the youth would have disappointed his parents on some point and hence deserved to be killed.
This story is in the Qur’an and Hadith.
خَليفة says
It’s time for the west to start taking “honor” into account:
– bomb the Mohammed out of al Al-Azhar university, destroying buildings and faculty because it is offensive to western logic and treats westerns without honor – this will restore the West’s honor
– then bomb the Mohammed out of the other Islamic schools for the same reason

What has this got to do with women being killed or mutilated for not wearing a hijab or burkah , choosing a husband , talking on or even possessing a mobile phone , refusing a marriage proposal , being too westernised , seeking a divorce or a hundred other reasons why women have lost their lives in islamic societies ??.
Steve says
Yea, jayboo, same exact thing, exactly. you could not be more right in comparing the two…dress code and getting shot for nothing. you just keep thinking like that and you and others can elect hillary, after you elected that bo piece of shit and then we can bring all of this, all the honor killings and the rest of that sewer religion into this country. if that happens, i just hope you’ll one day meet up with these monsters and they do an honor killing on you for not being stupid, but for ignoring and minimizing the very threat they pose today when you post idiotic shit like this. be well my friend, your end is coming in a very brutal, yet honorable way.
mortimer says
According to Sharia law, any Muslim who commits blasphemies repeatedly may be slain. The blasphemer is assumed to be kafir whose life is ‘mubaa’ (free for the taking…or fair game). No punishment is prescribed for the murder of a blasphemer.
Islam, thus, authorizes vigilantism…the only religion that does. This is the secret of Islam’s ability to terrorize.
mortimer says
Do you want vigilantes like these moving in large numbers to YOUR Western country?
If not, give your head a shake and realize that Muslims…all Muslims…believe Sharia law is divine, and so they all believe that vigilantism is Islamic…or they are also blasphemers or apostates whom more observant Muslims may consider ‘mubaa’.
Dom107 says
They already have in London telling non- Muslim women to cover up and admonishing young men who were drinking in the street
This will lead to open violence as counter vigilantism has happened already
They should be arrested for this brazen behaviour in a non-muslim country
gravenimage says
They are already here–“Honor Killings” have exploded in the West. There are apt to be many, many more with the Muslim invasion of the past few months into Europe.
A True Canadian says
Too many people in The West have their heads in the sand when it comes to stopping the spread of these cowardly, barbaric actions by Muslim men! These men (and their families) are now living amongst us in the West. These men (with their families) come to our countries begging to be allowed in as they are fearful of what will happen to them in their own countries, then once here, try to change OUR way of peaceful living. Why are we allowing this? It’s time to put an end to this insanity….and it starts with our governments! Instead of welcoming them with free housing, free food, free clothing, free medical, free education, (at my expense as a tax payer), perhaps when these families show up at our doorsteps, the men should be put into training with our military and sent out to war to protect OUR country! Then perhaps we’d see the true colours of these “poor, helpless people”. It may even encourage the “men” to think twice about leaving their home countries! Enough is enough!! I want MY country back!
Charli Main says
These girls probably offended their brother´s ” honour ” by refusing to have sex with him.
Ciudadano says
Retaliation and honor killing are prescribed by Islamic law, and put in practice in many Islamic countries. This is just just one practice among many Islamic practices that is at odds with modern legal systems and culture in the West. These Islamic practices are part of the Muslim belief system, legal system, culture and religion in Islamic countries.
Supporters of Muslim immigration in to the West must explain how they expect Muslims immigrants to assimilate and integrate into Western civilization given that Muslims believe and practice things like retaliation and honor killing. Do they expect Muslims immigrants to relinquish suddenly their customs that are at odds with Western legal systems and cultural values? Do they expect western natives to tolerate and accept things like retaliation and honor killings? Would it be necessary to reeducate immigrants or will they reeducate themselves on the go?
So far the attitude of Western leaders seems to be to irresponsibly turn a blind eye on these issues, and just expect and demand from native population to cope and adapt. Sadly supporters of Muslim immigration many times recourse to labels like Islamophobia and racism in order to dismiss any valid discussion on these things. It is necessary and urgent an honest and informed discussion about these issues to avoid more conflict and radicalization.
Walter Sieruk says
Such cruel, brutal malicious and murdering actions of Islamic tradition that is called “honor killing.” This awful wickedness is not only the outcome heinous and ruthless Islamic tradition but also the result of the vicious callous and warped Muslim mindset that many Muslim men have because of their religion. For Islam is religion of extreme and vicious misogyny. Which had it foundation in the Koran and other authorized written written works of Islam. The result or fruits of this Islamic custom of “honor killing” is shown in the malice-filled and murderous behavior by a number of Muslim males against unarmed and defenseless girls and women. In other words, those ruthless,and heartless hideously violent actions by those Muslim males towards those females are the fruit of he misogynist religion of Islam Jesus ,in His Wisdom, had taught “By their fruit you will recognize them.” Mathew 7:20. [N.I.V.]

No, he’s not joking. “Randy’s” response to any Muslim savagery is to condemn Christians.
I doubt very much that he has any actual concern for Native Americans–his only purpose here is to whitewash Islamic barbarism.

John Spielman says
Dear randy, show me where theNew Testament allows any violence against anyone. Note that Luke chapter 19 is a prophesy of what will happen when Jesus returns and destroys all the evil doers HIMSELF, and with His holy angels. we have only to watch. Rev 19. The war we Christ followers wage is NOT against flesh and blood but against the demonic powers influencing people
Islam being a doctrine from Satan /( allah to muslims) allows and even encourages murder of unbelievers and intact the ONLY way to gain entrance into allah’s whore house in the sky is to kill and be killed in battle against unbelievers. This why Islam is so vile and dangerous
Phil says
Actually, Randy – you are a culturally blinkered ignoramus. I assume you’re referring to the Conquest of the Americas? Most of the people died from diseases spread by the Europeans. Yes, the subsequent enslavement was often appallingly cruel – but if we condemn the Christians, what about the Muslims? The Spanish Court prescribed laws protecting the rights of the indigenous peoples – which the colonists very frequently ignored, but the awareness of their rights was there. At around the same time, we have Tamberlaine. Remember him? Everyone’s favourite cripple?* The vicious Muslim bastard killed 5% of the world’s population. One in Twenty. Why? Simple – Jihad fi sabil Allah. No-one til this century had achieved such a slaughter. I won’t even mention, Babur the Tiger (the Hindus don’t call him that because they thought he was cuddly), Aurangzeb (the Hindu Killer) or the depredations of the Ottomans, the Jihad of the Sokoto Caliphate or any other issues. Heck, I won’t even mention the Jihad against the Armenians which killed 1.5 million people and was the archetypal act of modern genocide that inspired Hitler and for which the Muslims have offered no apology (and don’t forget along with that we have 350,000 Assyrian and Chaldean Christians and who knows how many Pontic Greeks killed during the same Jihad). For that matter – I don’t think the Aztec/Mexica could teach us a lesson in tolerance. Nor, incidentally the could the Inka – their empire was well organized (much better than the post-conquest nations) but gentle they were not. Just ask about the Yawar Cocha – it’s not called the Lake of Blood for nothing.
As for the Anglo-Saxon conquests – yes there is much to repent, and we do repent it, but to our credit the indigenous peoples still retain much of their original cultures. Whereas after Islam, nothing remains but a bastardized Arab culture – even so cultured a people as the Persians had forgotten how to read Achaemenid era inscriptions and the Bactrians descended into their current Pakistani barbarism.

Pakistan: Muslim who previously murdered his mother shoots his two sisters dead in honor killing
……………………
If Pakistan had prosecuted the first murder, the killer would not have been free to have committed the other two murders. But to do so would have been to go against Islam.
Will the family forgive these latest killings, as well? Most likely.
Having the family pardon the killer is pretty iffy in the best of times as a form of jurisprudence–it is utterly perverse with “Honor Killings”, where the family is both the victim and the perpetrator.
The awful trith says
As a sarcastic comment gay marriage and honour killings are a back door to keeping population down. Pakistan is overburdened by fanatics – women are constantly being raped; women suffer more and are legally offended against. Pity that wise kind and talented individuals will not emerge in a Pakistan.
