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.
“Man kills wife over ‘honour’ in Mansehra,” by Muhammad Sadaqat, Express Tribune, April 30, 2016 (thanks to Thomas):
In another case of honour killing, a woman was gunned down by her husband in a remote village of Oghi in Mansehra, police said on Saturday.
The woman’s husband, Zaman, claimed she was allegedly involved in an extra marital affair with his cousin, Shabbir. Zaman killed his cousin in February after finding out about the affair and now, killed his wife, Fatima Bibi, 49.
The accused confessed to the police and said the murder was aimed at salvaging his family’s honour.
“I am quite satisfied with what I have done. Every man in his [Shabir’s] position would have chosen the same path. I had no other option because it was intolerable to see my wife in a video with someone else,” he said.
According to the police, Zaman and Fatima’s brother, Ali Muhammad, allegedly gunned down Shabbir on February 3, after a video of Shabir and Fatima surfaced on social media.
Earlier this year, Zaman became suspicious of Bibi’s relationship with Shabbir who was of the same village.
Fatima went missing the same night Shabbir was shot dead. As investigation into his murder was underway, Zaman went in search of his wife who was found at the home of their mutual relative in Lahore.
Once she was brought back to the village, she was allegedly shot six times. Fatima Bibi was married to Haider Zaman for 15 years and they had four children.
After killing her, Zaman went to the Oghi police station where he confessed. According to reports, Fatima’s brother’s had no objection to the murder but Fatima’s son, Azhar, filed an FIR against his father.
Further, Zaman told media and the police that he gave Fatima the option of divorce but she insisted that he kills her. A one day physical remand of the accused was granted by the judicial magistrate in Oghi on Saturday morning….

Champ says
The incredible backwardness that is islam. There is no “honor” is killing ones own wife. More backwards insanity and evil courtesy islam & company.
Angemon says
Very true, Champ.

What Islam holds to be “honorable” decent people consider psychopathy.
BC says
There is no ‘honour’ in killing anybody unless they are trying to kill you. (or have killed someone else)
Dean says
Killing for “honor” much easier than divorce and alimony payments and she just disposable property anyway. Savage see meat, eat, savage see stranger, kill, and savage tired of sex toy, get rid of it. A “religion” of codified tribal customs and prejudices hidden behind stolen concept of mono-theism.
Walter Sieruk says
What a twisted and warped sense of “honor”. What hideous murderous madness ,evil and delusion that may be the result of this false religion of Islam. Furthermore, to this, it’s very worth giving some of the Wisdom of Jesus Who taught about the outcome, fruits, of false belief systems. For Jesus taught “By their fruit you will recognize them.” Matthew 7:20. [N.I.V.]
By the way ,there is the Christian internet site answering-islam.org
linnte says
She was 49. He just wanted a younger wife. Now he can get one or two or maybe three!
Dean says
Right, claim honor and it is a lot cheaper and quicker than divorce. Who cares, she is just a piece of property anyway. Mo and Allah is just cover for expressing one’s inner savage.
Guest says
“She insisted I kill her…” Why do I find that hard to believe?
gravenimage says
Yeah–especially since she had fled all the way to Lahore to escape his killing her.
Panmelia says
You always know when a muzrat who’s done something nasty to someone (a regular and repetitive occurrence) is lying, because their mouths are flapping. Same applies to muzrats defending their religion and swearing that it’s a religion of peace that would never hurt anyone blah blah blurgh.
If these sub-humans can so readily kill their wives, daughters, sons and any other member of their family on the grounds of some farcical ‘honour’, there is no reason to believe that they value the lives of unrelated people in the countries they colonise. Good reason to deport the lot, Id say. They’re too dangerous to tolerate in one’s midst.
And they can get away with family annihilation under their barbaric ‘laws’ in their own hellhole countries. Murder isn’t murder under sharia law.
Has anyone pointed out to one of these murderers that no one can ever impugn their ‘honour’, because it doesn’t exist? Those who adhere to the vile putrid islime cult are not expected to behave like normal human beings with conscience, morality, truth, trustworthiness, compassion, forgiveness, marital love, parental love, respect for life or civilised human values. They have the curse of moMAD and allaaah upon them. Savages.

Our leaders say we should support and welcome this ideology in the West? We are supposed to say that it’s OK for people who believe and behave this way to come to our countries by the hundreds of thousands? By the millions? How do we stop this absolute madness?
Panmelia says
*How do we stop this absolute madness?*
Get new leaders. Of course, this is easier said than done because democracy is a frustratingly slow-moving process.
But what gave these leaders the right in the first place to allow mass migration without any mandate from the people, any consultation, any referendum? Undemocratic politicians who do this sort of sneaky thing for whatever reason have to be voted out, and our true representatives voted in.
America has made a start with Donald Trump actually stating that no more muslims should be admitted to the country until the security issues are sorted out. What was the reaction among blockhead, leftard knee-jerkers? – shock, horror, disbelief that anyone should suggest such a thing, despite 9/11, despite San Bernardino, despite the 28,000+ acts of muslim terror throughout the world, despite IS, despite terror plots being uncovered every day.
We look to America for a sea-change in thinking, a turnaround in attitudes, a determination to fight our enemies and win. What America does first, others follow. The next election is crucial and its result depends on the common sense of the American people sweeping away the madness of present leaders.

Pakistan: Muslim guns down his wife to salvage his family’s honor

Islam, where murdering two people is “honorable”…

So often, “Honor Killings” are a family affair in Islam. *Ugh*.

……………………….
Uh…right. Because murder victims always insist their murderers kill them–especially after having fled all the way to Lahore to avoid being killed.
But then, the victim is safely murdered, and cannot take issue with this version of events. And will Pakistani authorities do much to prosecute such a case? I wouldn’t count on it…
Here’s the state of things in barbaric Pakistan:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-01-14/wife-on-run-from-pakistan-honor-killing-says-no-one-can-escape
The fact is that “Honor Killings” were not even formally deemed murder in Pakistan until 2004. They are not much prosecuted today.
And why would they be? That would be “un-Islamic”.
Not long ago, a woman was stoned to death in broad daylight right outside the Lahore High Court. No one prevented the murder.
Baucent says
Pakistan; a thoroughly dishonourable country.
Bob says
And on UK P’s foreign aid list. We pay to support these murderous thugs. Islam in no more than a blood-cult!
duh_swami says
When things go wrong in the household, the pious must act in accordance with sharia, lest the boys down at the mosque will think you are weak and have no honor”’that’s almost as bad as takfir, which must be avoided…

He may have salvaged his familiys honor , in his own twisted perception ; in reality he and
countless others like him are proving how unfit for civilization they are .
UNCLE VLADDI says
Re: “Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide.”
NO – MUSLIMS COMMIT 100 PERCENT OF HONOR KILLINGS WORLDWIDE!
Those from Hindu and Spanish (Al-Andalusian) colonies learned it from muslims!
