Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar, 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 the victim was the murderer’s daughter, 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.
“Honour killing: couple beaten, strangled to death,” Pakistan Today, November 29, 2016:
A teenage girl and her male cousin were killed over the pretext of karo-kari at village Rasool Bakhsh Wessar within the jurisdiction of Sadar Police Station in Jacobabad district on Tuesday morning, it was learnt.
“A teenage girl identified as Gul Bano, 16, and her cousin Dur Muhammad, 18, son of Hakim Wessar, were killed over the pretext of honour killing by the father of the girl, Mushtaque Wessar, by beating them with baton and later strangling both to death,” said SHO Sadar Police Station Ayaz Pathan.
Police had arrested the accused Mushtaque Wessar and brought the bodies of the deceased to District Headquarters Hospital Jacoobabad for the post-mortem examination….

Michael Copeland says
In Islam “honor” means male supremacy.
PRCS says
Sometimes, mom and other women participate in the punishment.

You are both right, Michael and PRCS.

Stupid Inbreeds all!!!
Jaladhi says
Muslims commit 99.95% of “honor killing” on this planet! That is Islam in its true form!
Angemon says
He can always break out of jail with the help of devout muslim policemen, move to Germany or Sweden and say he’s a Syrian refugee.

Contradiction, Muslim can marry her cousin ,(Unacceptable custom in other culture )Yet in above case why they were against of couple need to be investgtd
Westman says
Karo-Kari – black man, black woman, meaning blackened with “sin”.
Honor killing blackens the family, the tribe, and the nation that allows it and can only exist under primitive religion and the inferior culture of aggressive hierarchy that it produces. Or was it an embedded aggressive hierarchy that gave birth to an inferior religion?
Imagine, women considered so inferior that her family must provide the groom with a dowry (jahaiz) that literally bankrupts the family; even if he is wealthy. Certainly the bride is expected to do all the sustaining work of the family and pass whatever is left of real love and compassion to her children – until the senior son is old enough to insult and mistreat her.
These are inferior cultures that allow honor killing; that undeniable truth is witnessed by the direction of immigration. No free person, with adequate means, entertains the thought of personal advancement through moving to these places and adopting the mores of that “culture”. Even poor Africans, who look for economic advancement in Saudi Arabia, find themselves kenneled, like dogs, passports confiscated, and treated like slaves.
You’d think that people would have had enough of silly love songs.
I look around me and I see it isn’t so.
Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs.
And what’s wrong with that…(McCartney)
It wasn’t just the road less traveled that brought humanity out of the physical misery of the distant past – it was also love and respect for women. It is no accident that music. art, and language have a theme of romance since the renaissance.
And it is no accident that the worst of Islam forbids music.

Trump said he likes Pakistan.
As for me – I don’t understand what the fuck is going on?
Same game?
Same PC?
Soon we will hear from Trump: “Islam is religion of peace”?
Or I just overestimated Trump’s “islamophobia”??
vladkoval says
And I see that Leftists already make fun of it all
gravenimage says
I think Trump’s instincts are generally good–he definitely gets that there is something wrong with Islam–but his knowledge about the Jihad threat is still very spotty. I imagine we are going to see a lot of this uneveness.

Look up the Honor Diaries on youtube for a real eye opener.
Dec 1, 2016. Ismaa’eel Abu Adam (Converted2Islam) was a Muslim apologist who spent years defending Muhammad and the Quran. A few months ago, he announced that he had left Islam. Today, he declared that he is a Christian. You can visit his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/Converted2Islam

You can see the playlist from his newest (post-Islam) youtube videos in the comments section therein.
Please also pray for Nabeel Qureshi for a complete healing. The efforts of these two (and other) former Muslims in seeking the Truth can be an inspiration and knowledge seed for current Muslims…

There is no Honour in Islamic “Honour Killings”
Just primitive, blood thirsty, homicidal barbarity.

Pakistan: Muslim murders his teenage daughter and her male cousin in Islamic honor killing
……………………..
Bloody barbarian. God, I hate Islam.
And I would not expect this murderer to actually see any serious punishment for his terrible crime.
ChristianInDeed says
There will be no punishment, as the ‘crime’ isn’t a crime according to the Qu’ran.
Can’t stop ‘kissing cousins’ no matter what the threat or punishment 🙂
gravenimage says
Pakistan rarely punishes such “Honor Killings”.
Anne Smith says
Unfortunate for the poor victims but brings Churchill’s comment on the Nazi Germans to mind “the more of them who kill each other, the better”.
He also had some very relevant comments to make on Mohammedism and its votaries.
Guest says
And here I thought those animals wouldn’t mind inbreeding. Cousins dating is disturbing but it isn’t a crime punishable by death.
gravenimage says
Guest, I doubt that dear ol’ dad was objecting to cousin marriage per se–it was likely that these two had fallen in love, and Islam definitely objects to love. There is no love in Islam.

“Pakistan: Muslim murders his teenage daughter and her male cousin in Islamic honor killing”
Who condones and carries out this sort of despicable stuff?
Oh yeah, muslims…never mind.
dave says
guess i missed something in the story. did the cousins look at each other, hold hands, kiss, laugh out loud, without permission, go for a walk together, without a body guard, smile at each other, blink at each other or maybe sleep together. sounds like DADDY had his sights on his little girl & got ticked, her cousin scored first. i understand MUSLIM ADULT COUSINS marry all the time. some MALES marry several cousins as a normal CULTURAL custom. so, it was not an HONOR KILLING, but a JEALOUS DADDY executing a CRIME OF PASSION. I am sure the QURAN has a rule allowing this MUSLIM DADDY to kill his kid.
