This is an especially egregious case. Apparently Muhammad Mudassir murdered his sister not because she had done anything wrong, but because he was denied an agreed-upon marriage with the ten-year-old sister of his sister’s husband.
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 sister, 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 sister for ‘honour’ in Khanewal,” by Owais Qarni, Express Tribune, May 27, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
MULTAN: A man killed his 18-year-old sister in Kacha Khuh village of Khanewal District in a yet another case of ‘honour killing’.
Muhammad Mudassir, 27, has been arrested and charged with murder, the Kacha Khuh police said.
Amna, a resident of Chak number 4, had eloped with Muhammad Yasin. The couple tied the knot in a court around two months ago.
Mudassir, Amna’s brother, was infuriated when he heard about their marriage four days later.
One week ago, a local court (Panchayat) called both the families and after hearing their arguments, told Yasin’s family to marry off his 10-year-old sister to Mudassir.
Three days before the marriage, which was supposed to take place on Tuesday, Yasin’s father refused to give his daughter in ‘vani’ – a practice in which a woman is handed over or forcibly married to someone in return for the sins of her male relative(s).
To avenge his ‘humiliation’, Mudassir murdered his sister with an axe….

Pakis will be Pakis!! Islamic inbreeding with poverty, and illiteracy and a good mix of Allah’s will at work.
Sarah says
Spot on.
Lets face it. If anyone wants an example of Sunni Islam at work, you have only to look at Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
One shows what happens when Islam is left to its natural course, One shows Islam infested with cash and benefiting from the civilized world turning a blind eye to it and them.
Both nations – both cultures are rotten to the core. They are both a stain on humanity.
Charli Main says
Islamophobic lies. Mohammed was a feminist and women are completely free, loved, honoured and protected in Islam.
Ask Linda Sasour or any Western libtard feminist if you don’t believe the above.
Ed Lee says
Furthermore Charli, we must be tolerant and remember that all cultures are equally valid and deserving of respect, no matter how vile and despicable they are.
Mak says
This! Exactly this! Leftists are so quick to say that any existing culture has merit without analysis or scrutiny. It’s as if simply being a culture or belief system is worthy of protection to them.
This is simply horrible. It’s not even human. Killing people because of honor?
James says
Then there cannot possibly be any objection to Nazism. To show respect to Nazism, there should be an annual Adolf Hitler Celebration Day. Why should Nazi culture be excluded ? After all, Hitler would have been totally against Islamophobia. There could be sponsored readings of Mein Kampf, and showings of the films of Leni Riefenstahl.
Mac-101 says
If this murderer had any idea of a twisted sick Satanic Honor system he would have axed the 10 year old girl’s father for standing in the way of the Tribal Court, not his sister.
.
Please post an update and tell what this demonic clown’s sentence is!
Terry says
Mac– why the father of the 10 year old–HE -THE WAY I INTERPRET THE ARTICLE- WANTED TO STOP HIS 10 YEAR OLD FROM GETTING MARRIED.
The Court/judge(s) should have been axed. (In my opinion, along with the 4th & 9th circuits here in the US)
Mac-101 says
Correct. The murderer axed his sister because he was supposed to regain the family honor by marrying the sisters new husband’s 10 year old sister as stated by the Sharia Court. The father of the murderer’s sister husband blocked it.
.
Therefore, in sick Tribal Sharia backward 7th century thinking he should of killed the father of the bride which was denied to him. However his sister was most likely easier to kill and Satan demands his sacrifices!
no_one says
Crazy idiots. These should not be allowed in the Western world under any circumstances and if allowed should be avoided.
Michael Copeland says
“Honor” in Islam means male supremacy.
It must not be challenged.
Kiki says
I’m glad the father refused orders to marry off his 10 year old daughter!
But the death of the other girl still sucks. I hope she’s at peace, somewhere she never has to go through more suffering.
berserker says
The world can do without two countries: Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Absolutely vile in every sense of the word. I guessed the incident happened in Pakistan even before I clicked on the story.
utis says
This kind of incident shows the superiority of Western culture. Except for child custody, what Western court would transfer one human to another as “damages?” This Stone Age “court” (no offense to the real Stone Age peoples) is engaging in nothing but slave trading. I’ve seen numerous reports of these “jirgas” handing out “brides” and even allowing gang rape of a female relative not even involved in the “injury.”
Pakistan is not my area of interest, so I don’t read everything about it, but over decades, I’ve only seen two memorable cases of laudable behavior to family: one was a poet who died trying to donate a kidney to his sister, and now this father giving his ten-year-old a break. There are seeds of humane behavior there, but the culture need to nurture them. You can see how this culture fosters viciousness, women are kept in terror of their own family and half the DNA of the populace comes from “sub-humans.”
Cunamarra says
Trying to wrap one’s mind around the premise and logic that follows from Islam’s notion of morals, honor, shame, humility, good, evil, justice, right, wrong, moral and philosophical concepts ad infinitum is like trying to bend one’s knees in the wrong direction.
I cannot help but to believe that every Muslim, and I mean EVERY in the most absolute and exact way possible, and every one who attempts to defend Islam, harbors a moral and intellectual perversion. Converts to Islam even more so. One’s perversion may not be identical to another’s, but a perversion exists somewhere in the thinking of these people.
Has anyone on this site witnessed the defense of Islam without some type of lie at the root of the defense? An untruth at the base of a defense is necessarily and in reality not a true defense.
moeped says
It’s insane that such a sick and twisted set of values is followed anywhere in the world and even more insane that our Western and Righteous Civilization finds ways to defend it.
Charles T Lawson says
This is the REASON for all this immigration , There are no more women in there country so they invade other countries for the women in order to make their cause stronger ,
And we have been led a lie that it is to do with , war , LOOK FOR ALL THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN coming in with the MALES ,
Sarah says
Hold on a second. So because he was denied the ‘right’ to marry a LITTLE GIRL, he took an axe and hacked his own sister to death in order to feel better about his humiliation?
Man, the mental gymnastics you have to employ there, for that to make sense are astounding.
Mind you, its Pakistan. I cannot say that I’m surprised. Call me heartless, but I struggle to raise even a lazy ‘eh’. While I feel sad for the woman who was hacked to death so that this pedophile coward could feel better about himself – she was involved it seems, in SELLING A LITTLE GIRL TO A GROWN MAN TO BE USED AND ABUSED.
That does not warrant being hacked to death with a axe – but her support of her filthy culture, filthy family and filthy religion as her actions, meant that she paid some stiff consequences. That’s what happens.
If she wasn’t hacked to death, she would have participated in prepping that little girl like meat for her ‘wedding’ to that obscenity of a brother of hers. He is the real monster in all of this, but I struggle to be outraged at what he did. Its Pakistan. I expect nothing better. The entire nation should be turned to glass, its culture eradicated from world and its history deleted from the history books.
Show me one good thing from Pakistan. Because I honestly cannot think of one. But I’ll show you 50 sickening things that this country, its culture, its religion and its people have been responsible for.
That little girl had a very lucky escape. For now anyway. Until she’s sold to the next highest bidder.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Show me one good thing from Pakistan.
Oriental rugs, Pak makes some of the best. Yes, certain types will criticize that the rugs are made by children as young as 8 or 9. But some people are just bellyachers that will complain no matter what.
Henner720 says
Islam is a testemony of how a ideology can derange itself. As in west living muslim, how could you then want that without adhering to violence.you reject west, yourself, in becoming saved by the violence. The gangsta tribal leadets being satiesfied with u.this sickness has to do with cola disco overpopulated deranged youth dady money to.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
We give Pakistan billions of dollars a year and they don’t have a supply of scimitars for the average joes over there? Having to honor murder your sister with an axe is an insult to Islam, one of the world’s great religions according to several authoritative sources such as Hillary, Barack, Dubya and others.
Dr.Christoph Heger says
The stipulations (impunity of killing of children by their parents) as quoted from the manual of Sunni Islamic law “Umdat al-Salik” (English translation published under the title “Reliance of the Traveller”) can be read at pages 11 and 12 of the following pdf:

Suvine says
honor killings usually followed by honor rapes. True reason the brothers and fathers kill their own family. To rape their dead body. Called farewell intercourse. Only way for the women to go to heaven.
