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

Israel: Muslims murder their niece in honor killing for fear she would date men

Jun 18, 2017 9:37 am By Robert Spencer

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.

“Bedouin woman’s uncles accused of murdering her, burning body,” Times of Israel, June 18, 2017:

Three men will be indicted Sunday for murder in the death of their relative, a young Bedouin woman who they believed would “dishonor” their family, the state prosecution said.

Hanan al-Bahiri, 19 and recently divorced, disappeared on May 3 in her hometown of Lakiya, north of Beersheba, shortly after speaking on the phone with her mother and telling her she was on her way home.

Her mother reported her disappearance, prompting a police investigation and the arrest of six family members. One of the suspects eventually confessed and led officers to al-Bahiri’s remains, buried near one of the family homes.

Police say al-Bahiri’s two uncles, Sager and Yunes, as well as Yunes’s son Mahmad, grabbed her on the night of May 3 and questioned her over her divorce, then murdered and buried her.

Prior to her death the 19-year-old had been married off to a disabled man. Required after her divorce to return the traditional “bride price” her family had been paid, and orphaned of her father, al-Bahiri began working.

Her uncles and cousin were allegedly concerned that her newly independent lifestyle would lead her to meet and date men, bringing “dishonor” upon their family.

After kidnapping and questioning her over her dealings, the three broke her neck, then burned her body and buried the remains, police said….

The suspects deny the allegations against them.

    As cited in ‘Umdat al-Salik (“Reliance of the Traveller”), Islam says that killing one’s child or grandchild (born or unborn) is not subject to any punishment. But can an authorized (grand)child killer hire someone else to carry out the killing? In this case, Hanan al-Bahiri was killed not by her parent or grandparent, but by her uncles and cousin. Under sharia, are the uncles and cousin subject to punishment, or not? Where can we find a fatwa covering this case?

      I was impressed (negatively) when I read that Umdat al-Salik passage, which gave even grand-parents the right to kill. I didn’t remember the part about “killing without right,” which means there are other cases where one has the “right” to kill. Maybe this is how the uncles got the authorization to kill. Or maybe they got it because they’re the girl’s makhram (however you spell that).
      Evidently, the girl’s mother didn’t have much say in this, even though she is a “parent.” Or does “parent” and “grand-parent” refer only to masculine gender?

        Your hunch is quite correct Utis. “The law says a MAN can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour.”

        Under sharia law, only men are represented. Women cannot bring an action alone; and their testimony in a sharia court (a contradiction in terms) is worth 1/2 of a man’s.

        This poor, poor young girl. God rest her sweet soul. And I was going to say, “and comfort her family”, but these are muslims we’re talking about here. She’s not even mourned by her own; instead, they are her murderers. And that includes her female “family”: mothers typically participate in these obscene homicides, then are thrown to the wolves if the law (rarely) gets involved.

    ‘Honour killing’ is invariably an Islamic excuse to SUBJUGATE their females to the will of their males.

    99.99% of humanity (including Muslims) do not know that women in Arabia before the DEPRAVED Muhammad Islamized the pagan Arabs had infinitely more FREEDOM than after Islam

    Calling these MURDERS ‘honour killings’ aid and abet the murdering Muslims because Muslims have NO HONOUR whatsoever since they follow Sharia that contains nothing more than Dishonour, Terror, Subjugation, Racism, Intolerance, Subterfuge, Disloyalty, Misogyny, Hatemongering, Warmongering and Ungodliness

    The only reason they butchered her was because she was disobeying Sharia and the ONLY way Muslims keep other Muslims in check is through the application of TERROR

    For those who are in doubt, just listen to the foremost Sunni in Islam~

    The most revealing eye opener (even for the brain dead) is the following interview with Yusuf al Qaradawi, the foremost imam of Sunni Muslims about Apostasy:

      Because to breed an army you need subjugated females. Guess what the followers of Islam are doing? They will be bringing the “harb” to Dar al-Harb indeed. Not good for us.

    Since the Muslims committed honor killing during Ramadan, they should have 72 times more reward.

    Allahu Akbar !

    The poor kid. What a crappy life she had. Were the uncles really concerned about “honor” or just annoyed that they had to return the bride price?
    I also see they had more than one family home. They’re certainly suffering from Israeli oppression, aren’t they?

    Hanan al-Bahiri, only 19, was a victim of this vicious MISOGYNY CULT.

    Where are the Feminists protesting this atrocity?

    She was assassinated because she was considered not Islamic enough and because her father’s prestige was slighted. To bring back his reputation, he murdered his child.

    They were concerned about the possibility of her dating men. Maybe they’d have been happier if she dated goats.

    Every Muslim is a potential Mass Murderer the instant he/ she decides that he/she is NOT Sharia compliant enough (just like in the recent Muslim terrorist attacks in UK and the Afghani Muslim soldiers who murder their American benefactors)

    I agree that Not ALL Muslims are Terrorists BUT 100% of all Terrorist attacks against Infidels/ Kuffar are committed ONLY by Muslims. Therefore, every Muslim is a hair trigger Time Bomb primed to go off ( It is also a FACT that it is IMPOSSIBLE to point out who among Muslims is a terrorist or not)

    Only in the WARPED imagination of leftists can one find Moderate, Militant, Radical or Extremist Muslims because in reality Muslims are Muslims just as Nazis are Nazis and no one ever addressed Nazis as Moderate, Militant, Radical or Extremist. (Just ask PM Erdogan of Turkey to prove my statements)

    All other explanations are superfluous and redundant It is time for every decent and patriotic person to unshackle yourselves from the pre conceived but erroneous notion that ANYONE who is not a Muslim can make PEACE with Islam.

    All anyone in doubt has to do is READ only chapters 2 to 9 of Muhammad’s Quran and watch the repeated mass slaughter of unarmed innocent European, American, Russian, Indian, Chinese, Iraqi etc. civilians by Muslims proclaiming they are doing the butchery to PLEASE their demonic god Allah

    As usual, all that Europeans get from their criminally negligent leaders after every Islamic mass murder are platitudes, meaningless expressions of sympathy to the hapless victims by the very leaders who are unwilling to protect their citizenry because of their abject denial of all Facts and Reality regarding the TRUTH

      Non Muslims cannot make peace with Muslims. Heck, Muslims can’t make peace with Muslims. I have no way of knowing this, and might be wrong, but I would bet that the most recent attack in London, people being hit by a van, was the work of a Muslim. I note they are not yet releasing his name and if he were not a Muslim, his Anglo-Saxon name would be blasted from the rooftops and billboards within minutes of the attack. He would be a right-wing extremist, whom the authorities fear the most, so they say.The English authorities are so transparent.

      • Liz says

        Jun 19, 2017 at 12:11 pm

        How correct. Later they will start by releasing his age first, and dilly dally for as long as possible before finally releasing the name.

          Unfortunately it would appear that he was indeed a white British man and he has committed an extremely foolish act because he has given ammunition to Teresa May to castigate anyone opposed to Sharia and Islam taking over in England as right wing extremists.
          Sadiq Khan will revel in it and use it as moral equivalence.

          A tragedy really.

          One report I came across is that the driver was waving at some one in the group of people from the Mosque. Which means it might have been a normal distracted driver incident. But regardless it will be used by “Progressives” to pretend Islam is a victim.

  10. Shmooviyet says

    These relatives must keep a close furry eye on those ‘newly independent’ females in the family, lest they become interested in a man not chosen by the concerned uncles, cousins, brothers, fathers etc. Preferably a man 30-40 years her senior with a great deal to offer in exchange.

    As well, how does one or more confess and lead officers to the remains, then “deny the allegations against them”?

    • Carolyne says

      Jun 19, 2017 at 11:10 am

      As to your last sentence, Shmoo, it is quite obvious that this girl broke her own neck, set herself afire and then buried herself.

    This is why no Islamic can ever be trusted. This depraved theocracy has no place in the world – ancient or modern.

    Barbarians.

    Considering how Moslem males (they will NEVER be men!) treat the female gender – no, they are not human, they are barbarians.

    I have a serious problem with how Islam treats females.

    And I do not want this barbaric “religion” in my nation.

    these disgusting people cannot be allowed to live in America. It would be better to bring back the lynch mobs and just get rid of any of them that live here. They are disgusting

    The article says: “Required after her divorce to return the traditional “bride price” her family had been paid, and orphaned of her father, al-Bahiri began working.”

    I wonder if this supposed dishonor has to do more with paying back money. It’s cheaper to kill the poor girl than to reimburse the husband. What a disgusting value system.

    • Carolyne says

      Jun 19, 2017 at 11:13 am

      Also, it seems that her “Family” spent the money but somehow she was responsible for paying it back. Just more of the same. Islam is a Neanderthal “Religion,” (With apologies to Neanderthals.)

    Jun 19, 2017 at 7:22 pm

    She was a rather beautiful young lady wasnt she! Im guessing the Man she married was not only handicapped but Rich?? Why else would the family force such a beautiful girl to marry him. And while were on the subject, she really didnt do anything wrong, isnt it the man who divorces his wife in Islam? Im guessing this young women knew things about her family they didnt want public. What if someone else in the family was hitting that and needed to make her be quiet. I guess what im wondering is which one of the uncles was molesting his niece and needed to shut her up?
