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.
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.
“Two Pakistan Sisters Murdered By Father In ‘Honour Killing,'” Press Trust of India, September 24, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Peshawar: A young woman and her 10-year-old sister were murdered by their father in Pakistan in a so called ‘honour killing’, police said today.
Abdul Gani killed his daughters – 20-year-old Shamim and Noreen – and later confessed to the crime upon his arrest, according to DSP Fazal Wahid.
The crime took place in Peshawar’s Achar Kali area on September 20.
The accused’s son reported the murders to police and lodged an FIR in the case, the officer said.
Police had to conduct several raids before the accused was apprehended from the Mosam Ghari area here, two days after the murders.
According to the DSP, Abdul Gani said he killed his daughters because he was “ashamed at their conduct as they used to leave the house at all hours,” the Dawn reported….

About that cruel, brutal, vicious and murderous Islamic tradition which is so very unfittingly called in Muslim societies “honor killing.” This heartless malicious Muslim custom of spiteful misogyny is been exposes by Brigitte Gabriel in her book that is entitled THEY MUST BE STOPPED. For pages171,172 informed the reader that “The shocking reality is the most Muslim men, including those educated in the West , have no objection to honor killings and the degradation of women in their countries. Across the Muslim world, even in moderate Islamic countries, women’s rights are almost nonexistent …Women in Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.” Further on page 175 her same book also exposes that “Honor killings are executed by slitting the victims throat, hatching them, stabbing, burning them to death, decapitation , bullets to the head and chest, or by any other means imaginable.”
Indeed, they must be stopped !

As for the brutal ,cruel vicious and murderous actions of Islamic misogyny which is so inappropriately called “honor killing.” This heinously wicked misogynists Islamic tradition reaches such n demonic extent of evil and madness that in number of Muslim nations ,as Afghanistan , if a girl or woman is raped she then might undergo being murdered in an “honor killing.” This is worse that a terrible miscarriage it’s an outright outrageous affront to all that is decent, good right as well as sane. To actual punish the victim of raped and not the rapists is most hideous, vile and wrong. very wrong. The Bible teaches in Proverbs 17:15. “The Lord hates two things, punishing the innocent and letting the guilty go free.” [E.R.V.]

Pakistan: Muslim father murders his two daughters, one of them 10 years old, in honor killing
…………………….
These *poor girls*. God, I hate Islam.
And this is Pakistan–it is unlikely the homicidal father will face any real charges. imagine the only reason he was arrested in the first place is because the victim’s brother–the killer’s son–actually objected to the murders. In cases where the family is united in backing the “Honor Killing”, there are often no penalties at all.

Don’t they have any love for their children? What savages and that’s insulting savages.
I wonder about leftists says
Does anybody believe that people who believe in conquering the world, beheading, raping, flogging, stoning and kill people who are not of their “religion” and feel supreme over other humans, who’s parents are proud when their son dies and get killed, and become a martyr (with their 72 virgins) and mutilate their young daughters and even kill them, that those people know what “HONOR” is?
Not in the last 1400 years and not in the next 1400 years.
They just want to kill, if anybody does something what does not please them they get immediately the feeling of killing and try to act on it right away, and if not right away, then they take their time and their actions follow later. We have to stay vigilant and don’t trust them. See who the major in London hired,
4 years he had this terrorist woman on his team. You can’t trust them, not now, not ever I think, sorry to say. But the old systems have to go and so will Islam, and they will destroy themselves. When you constantly pray for all bad things, it backfires at a certain moment.
Prophets are people who are here on earth to teach people how to live in peace with each other and to be able to live with each other in peace and to make your ego’s smaller, (not the false prophets). anyway for the good of humanity and to be good for animals, and for all the good of nature and to treat the earth with respect and everything and everybody. That’s why prophets are here. And I am sure the Mohammed that Muslims adore is not one of them, au contraire.
I still feel sometimes a pain in my heart, that so many of them have to live in this lie and believe it and that they are so blind and brainwashed. Imagine you have to live that way ,and be so oppressed by your own imams and ayatollahs, so nobody of Islam can choose for themselves, there must be a lot of fear in muslims themselves and that I feel sorry for, but never the less, Islam is ,and stays very dangerous!

“When you constantly pray for all bad things, it backfires at a certain moment.”
Interesting point. When you pray for the destruction of the Jews, and all those other bad people who don’t believe as you do, it’s got to twist your thinking over time.

Yes. Ki!lling is always the first response of an offended Muslim.

You can’t hide from God……these girls were due their lives, and were robbed by their low life father……may he rot in hell for the thief that he is…..stealing the lives of his children, and bringing shame, and not honor, on his whole family. Disgusting.

With suicide bombers longing for martyrdom, fathers “honor” killing their daughters, Islamic mobs killing blasphemers, gays, adulterers, etc. shouldn’t the population of Muslims be going DOWN?
