This Sky News article says: “The victims are frequently, but not exclusively, women from a black, Asian or Middle Eastern background.”
Well, yes, and so are the perpetrators. But they aren’t committing these crimes because of their race. They’re committing them because of their religion. Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. 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.
But in the shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain of Theresa May, if you confront honor violence, you’re racist, bigoted, and “Islamophobic.” So these poor women are simply being sent home to suffer anew.
I discuss this twisted phenomenon at length in my new book Confessions of an Islamophobe. Preorder your copy here.
“Honour crime victims ‘being told to go home’, campaigners say,” by Charlotte Lomas-Farley, Sky News, November 7, 2017 (thanks to David):
The victims of so-called “honour” crimes are being failed by the police, new figures suggest.
Only 5% of cases reported to forces are then referred to the Crown Prosecution Service, according to statistics shared with Sky News.
This comes despite a large increase in the number of cases being detected and growing political awareness of the phenomenon in recent years.
There were 256 honour crimes referred to the CPS by the police in 2016-17, resulting in 122 convictions.
Yet in a similar period, more than 5,000 honour crimes were reported to police, according to figures obtained by the Iranian and Kurdish Women’s Rights Organisation using Freedom of Information legislation and shared with Sky News.
The term “honour crime” refers to a crime committed within a household, family or community, arising out of a perceived insult to honour.
The victims are frequently, but not exclusively, women from a black, Asian or Middle Eastern background.
In recent years there has been a sharp increase in the number of cases being reported, partly due to the criminalisation of forced marriage in 2014….

Different laws for different folks?
They had that in South Africa a while back…

It took millennia to build the civilization that grew on the soil of the islands of Britain; the disassembly of said civilization there will apparently only take a few decades. It took a decade and many billions of dollars and worker hours to build the Twin Towers; it only took a million or two (Saudi) dollars and a couple of thousand mujahadin hours to bring the towers down.
R Russell says
It took the Judeo-Christian values to build civilisation. Turning your back on Christianity means inadvertently turning your back an everything Christian, including the judicial system, which although not perfect is far to be preferred to sharia.
The answer is really quite simple. Discovering the benefits of a personal relationship with the Bible Jesus is what it takes to turn matters round. Then when people are benefitting from that friendship and its impact on their lives, honour killings become a thing of the past.
I’m not sure too many people want it badly enough to give it a try.
Richard says
Brilliant and O so true! And so beautifully put! Who are you or anyone else to tell me what to do? No human being has that right. But orders from God are another matter entirely! Without religion, civilization falls apart and becomes the law of the jungle – Darwin’s survival of the fittest. Our ‘I’m o.k, you’re o.k.” society is destroying us. Islam is most definitely NOT o.k.! St. Augustine pointed out that one cannot both be and not be. If Islam is right, we are wrong. Christianity is the most beautiful religion one could possibly imagine. Nothing is really as exciting as reading the Bible. The more you read it, the more you see, and the more you love God who loves each of us beyond comprehension. He suffered and died only once, but He did so as if He did so individually for each one of us. Those who go to hell are cheating Him out of something incalculably precious to Him that He paid for with His Blood. He sends no one to hell. We send ourselves there in spite of Him. It is as if He were standing at the gate of hell trying to block us and we push him out of the way in order to get in. May all leap into His loving arms!

These poor women are simply sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. To stand for their defense would be “Islamophobic.” Certainly cowardly Theresa May is not ready to do so.

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.]
Walter Sieruk says
Sharia law is cruel and brutal to the most heinous degree. As it even allows the murderous crime of “honor killing”.Having Sharia law in the UK in part of the insidious scheme of what is known as the Stealth jihad otherwise called the Muslim method of Islamic Gradualism. In contrast to the way of the violent jihad or also called the militant jihad .This non-violent form of the jihad for Islam is a very sly, insidious, subtle and deceptive way of working for the advancement of Islam.
This Muslim scheme for achieving the goal of the Islamic agenda is as, many times, as subtly effective as it is demonically clever. Furthermore, this Islamic gradualism, in some ways, is very similar to the instruction printed in the book entitled THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu. Which reads “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to opposes you”

UK: Police are telling honor crime victims to “go home”
………………………….
Well, this is just horrifying.
And yes–the implication that this is “racist” is ludicrous. Instead, it is all about giving the savagery of Islam a free pass.
utis says
White man rules family like a dictator, threatening or inflicting violence — he’s a sexist monster. Non-white does the same stuff — it’s just part of the charm of diversity. What will the pink hats do when the white men become muslim in droves? How will multi-culti feel then — to those who survive?
Lydia says
No.
But, Western democracy for all of the muslim nations!
That’s what our banner will read.

Its sad to think of the numbers of young women in the UK who have been brutally hurt or killed, as a result of ‘honour’ violence. Its a damn tragedy to realize that the UK authorities are happy to turn a blind eye to the suffering just so that they can maintain their ideology. Actually, its not a tragedy. Its reprehensible. And unforgivable. It is sickening and obscene. It is wrong and without any justification whatsoever.
All the same, I feel very heartless in saying this – but to what end, does it serve, to get upset or outraged at the rates of honour killings and honour violence in the West? We all know its Muslim violence and its inter-family specific. Nothing we say or do is going to stop it.
The Muslims don’t want to stop it. I point to the family members of those honour victims, as evidence. Not the family members who encouraged and supported the slaughter – but those who do apparently disagree with their loved one being maimed or murdered horrifically in the name of ‘honour’ at the hands of a fellow family member.
Where are they? What are they doing? Why aren’t they in turn, ‘honour killing’ the family members who have initially committed the honour violence? Why aren’t they turning up in droves to the authorities and screaming for justice for their fallen loved ones?
Nah. They’re doing nothing of the sort. They just keep wrapping themselves up in their Islamic clothing, they just keep attending the local Mosque, they just keep on supporting and propping up that cesspit religion of theirs that is the core pillar reason as to why their loved one was murdered to begin with.
So, with exhaustion, I ask; if they don’t care – why the hell should any of us?
I just want them all gone. Get them out. All of them. Boot them back to the cesspits they slithered out of and let them spend their worthless lives praying away their days to their Allah and their Mohammed, safely parked in the MENA region and the hell away from the rest of us.

If we allow Muslims to act like savages with “Honor” violence, it will just embolden them in other Islamic endeavors, like the rape and mass murder of Infidels.
Rotten Eye says
Need to call ‘HONOR CRIME’something more descriptive
Honor crime gives the act an air of righteousness.
Control the language to control the narrative.
Why do liberals contort the language and not traditionalists?
Any suggestions?
gravenimage says
This is what Muslims call it. I think it is important to note the terms they themselves use.
That does not mean civilized people consider this honorable.
