Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Pakistan: Muslim leader says bill against honor killing is un-Islamic

Oct 9, 2016 11:16 am By Robert Spencer

AP recently lied: “The killers routinely invoke Islam, but rarely can they cite anything other than their belief that Islam doesn’t allow the mixing of sexes. Even Pakistan’s hard-line Islamic Ideology Council, which is hardly known for speaking out to protect women, says the practice defies Islamic tenets.”

Here is the reality: Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. 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 be victimized.

“‘Honour Killing Bill against Islam,’” The News International, October 8, 2016:

Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Senator Siraj-ul-Haq on Friday said Imam Hussain (RA)’s mission was the establishment of the rule of law with equal rights for all citizens, a system based on Shoora (consultation).

In a country established for Islam, the rulers had thrust a system based on tyranny and exploitation, exactly opposite to the message of Karbala which was to fight against oppression and tyranny, he said while delivering Friday sermon at Mansoora Masjid. Siraj-ul-Haq said the passage of a so-called Honour Killing Bill by the joint session of the parliament in conflict with Quran and Sunnah proved that the ruling party was out to demolish the ideological boundaries of the country.

He said denying the right of compromise to the parties in the cases of honour killings was repugnant to divine injunctions, and added that any law in conflict with the Shariah would not be tolerated. Siraj-ul-Haq pointed out that PPP’s founder ZA Bhutto had never imposed his socialist ideology on the country.

      The divine command theory is that if Allah commands Muslims to cause as much suffering as possible to little children, they must do it without questioning Allah.

      Morality has nothing to do with Islam.

        Islam is a shameless excuse.

        The old Redemption excuse narrative.
        The followers of the baby killer ideology Islam do evil, but then rather than truly repent their evil ways they do more evil using Allah as their excuse just as the despicable disgrace to humanity known as Muhammad did.

    There were some honour killings here in the Netherlands the last couple of years, but of course hardly any attention from the press. In addition to that, forced circumcision of little girls is still happening here, muslim girls are taken on holiday to the barbaric homelands to have this done. It is completely illegal of course but the plan to have school doctors monitor the female pupils has been abandoned years ago in the Netherlands. Of course it is much more fashionable to complain about the police checking on immigrant people here more than on local people, even though statistics show that this is completely warranted because 70 percent of our violent crimes here stem from the10 percent immigrant people living in this country. I am not an advocate for a different treatment for foreigners on basis of religion or origin,, but some crimes have to be stopped with tough measures because a lot innocent people are getting hurt for life by those crimes. I call for the reintroduction of the death penalty for murder.

      i don’t trust the State enough to give it the power to legally extinguish a life. do U?

      if european governments don’t do something soon, however, their people may rise up and get rid of them – and the muslims. and it won’t be pretty. when there are leftist bodies swinging from the lampposts, i can only say that the fools brought it on themselves. if the worst happens, it will be non-muslim bodies – of *all* political and religious persuasions – hanging from the lampposts. there are no longer any easy solutions for europe.

    Well, I’m sure AP will do the right thing and correct its report to reflect the truth. Any minute now.

    “In a country established for Islam..” And why was it necessary to establish a country for India’s Muslims? A little matter of being unable to force Shariah on India?

    “You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place or worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed – that has nothing to do with the business of the State.” —Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s first speech to the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan(first Speaker of the National Assembly)

    And how is all that “nothing to do with the state” freedom working out for non-Muslims in Pakistan? And why does the state allow unequal punishment for “honor killings” as opposed to that for murder? It is murder of the most delorable nature.

    The bill against honour killing “threatens family values”. Incredible! That says it all – about what kind of family values Islam instills.

    Un-Islamic ? ? ? ? ?
    Is there any sort of vile, horrific EVIL that can really be said to be un-islamic ? ? ?
    If there is, I’m certainly not aware of it.
    The headline may say “Un-islamic, but that’s NOT what I read. My mind instantly translated the word to it’s true meaning:
    UN-SATANIC !
    These “people” worship S A T A N .
    And the confusion that “we all worship the same god”, is at the very root of this worlds problems.
    There is a very ancient myth or legend in the middle east. It goes back several thousand years.
    The myth is this. That soon after God placed Adam and Eve in their garden home, Satan, the deceiver mad his first move. That, before Adam “knew his wife”, she had already been seduced and impregnated by Satan! That Cain and Able were twins, growing side by side in the same womb, but each had different fathers.
    When these twin boys were born, the evil Cain, being the actual Son of Satan, brought every sort of vile evil into the human population.
    And many biblical scholars, even today, believe that Satan’s DNA infections the people’s of the middle east to this very day!
    I’ve been bumping into this myth/Legend since I was a teen. And I never really gave it much attention UNTIL NOW.
    With all the vile and horrific evil spewing forth from the muslim peoples of the middle east, I’m beginning to think, it just might be true.
    These “people” have always worshiped evil and death. The lust of the flesh has been their driving force since the beginning of time.
    Until we recognize the “Spiritual” element in todays world events, we will never make any headway against it.

    I recently read an article about a young man from North Korea who had escaped to the South. He said he, his mother and his brother, were all imprisoned in labor camps. He claimed to never have been taught the concept of love and because of that, he reported some infraction of his mother’s and she was severely punished. He felt no guilt. He did not understand the concept of guilt.

    North Korea is a small isolated country, but Islam occupies the whole Middle East and this. too, is their philosophy. They have never been taught compassion, especially toward females, so they feel some sort of honor when they kill them in horrible ways. Their philosophy and their humanness was vanquished with the teachings of Mohammed, if they ever had it, and the rules of the seventh century apply. These people are without honor. Killing one’s daughter or wife or sister is the “Perfect example” given them by some dirty, pedophilic desert dweller which they cannot understand could not be right in today’s world, if ever. Honor, indeed. They are fools.

      I do believe that, the founder of this cult of penis worship was INSANE, DEMON POSSESSED, or both !
      The vast cloak of Spiritual Darkness that has claimed the mind and soul of Muslims world wide, is a true reality. No denying that. The strains of satanic DNA in their Imams is very clear.
      I don’t know if this earth can ever be cleaned of this Evil. Mankind can not do it without Gods help. When the true King returns, all will be set right.

    lt’s not really surprising – lt’s that ‘Mental lllness’ again. l read only yesterday that 50 million Pakistanis are mentally ill.

    Here they are playing the ‘Victim Card’ on a massive scale.

    According to Khaleej Times Online, which covers the UAE as well as the Middle East at large.

    “50 million Pakistanis suffering from mental disorders”

    http://www.khaleejtimes.com/international/pakistan/50-million-pakistanis-suffering-from-mental-disorders

    “Around 50 million people are suffering from common mental disorders in Pakistan. The illness afflicts 15 to 35 million adults, which is about 10 to 20 per cent of the population.
    “Approximately 20 million children or 10pc of the population in our country need attention from mental health practitioners,” said Dr Ayesha Mian, chairperson of the department of psychiatry at the Aga Khan University (AKU) at a dialogue held on mental health at the Karachi Press Club on Saturday.
    The session was organised in connection with World Mental Health Day being observed on Oct 10.
    Dr Mian said there was a perception that people with mental illness were violent, looked different from others, and could never get better or could not be productive members of society.
    “Such misleading stereotypes impact adversely on these people’s struggle to cope with their condition.”
    “Studies show that people with mental illness are much more likely to be a victim than a perpetrator. Media should come forward and be strong partners against this social bias,” she said. She said family members, friends and the society in general had a vital role to play in helping people recover from mental illness. They needed positive attitude and acceptance of their conditions.
    “Unfortunately, there are only 400 trained psychiatrists in the country.”

    If honour killing is part of traditional Islam then traditional Islam must stand aside for the modern world.
