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

UK: Muslim accused of honor killing 19-year-old woman

Oct 15, 2017 8:05 am By Robert Spencer

“At an earlier court hearing, it was said the chain of events leading to Miss Dookhran’s death was linked to her Indian Muslim family’s disapproval of her relationship with an Arab Muslim man.”

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.

“Man denies ‘honour killing’ of 19-year-old woman Celine Dookhran,” by Tristan Kirk, Evening Standard, October 14, 2017 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):

A man accused of kidnapping, raping and murdering a teenage make-up artist in a suspected “honour killing” denied all the charges today.

Mujahid Arshid, 33, is accused of snatched 19-year-old Celine Dookhran from the shower, tying her up with duct tape and rope, and bundling her into a car.

Miss Dookhran was allegedly falsely imprisoned and raped before being murdered by Arshid, it is said.

He is also accused of kidnapping, raping and trying to kill another woman, but she managed to escape and sound the alarm, leading to the discovery of Miss Dookhran’s body in a freezer in a £1.5 million house in Kingston.

At the Old Bailey today, Arshid appeared via videolink from HMP Belmarsh to deny murder, attempted murder, two counts of kidnapping, two counts of conspiracy to false imprison, possession of a Taser, and two counts of rape.

Co-defendant Vincent Tappu, 28, from Ealing, is accused of helping to kidnap and falsely imprison the women on July 19 this year. He also pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.

Arshid now faces two new charges – which he denies – of sexually assaulting the second woman between November 2008 and November 2010.

At an earlier court hearing, it was said the chain of events leading to Miss Dookhran’s death was linked to her Indian Muslim family’s disapproval of her relationship with an Arab Muslim man….

    Someone needs to stand up in Court and say, Your Honour, it would be my Honour to kill these parasites

    Brits will maintain their POLITICAL CORRECTNESS” right to their own bitter demise. There appears to be no turning back to sanity and rational thought for them.

    In their dealings with the indigenous British, our friends from distant lands in the UK seem to have acquired a habit of crying ‘racism’ at virtually every opportunity when they don’t get their own way, even when, as with Islamic matters, the concept is totally irrelevant. Yet here we have it, straight from the horse’s mouth, not only blatant racism but blatant murderous racism. This would be disgusting enough if it were an isolated incident, but, according to media sources, it isn’t. So here we have rank hypocrisy of the worst kind, and hypocrites lose all credibility as far as I am concerned.

    It’s a sin to allow anyone to kidnap your own flesh and blood and know they are going to be tortured and murdered!
    No human being does that! This ideology is as evil as the prophet they follow and until the nation who accepts them to live there gets serious about upholding the law of OUR lands, it will never stop!

    This was not a ‘HONOUR KILLING”, because muslims of Islam do not understand the word HONOUR’,
    THEY DON’T KNOW OR UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WORD means.

    “Mujahid Arshid, 33, is accused….”

    Real name or mockery?
