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.
“In the name of honour: Family allegedly kills couple over love marriage,” Express Tribune, March 31, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A newly wed couple was murdered in cold blood for marrying out of their own will on Saturday in Abbottabad.
According to Express News, the couple, hailing from Pawa region in Khyber-Pakhtunkhawa, named Nasir and Fizza got married a few weeks ago against the will of their family members.
The duo was called in by Fizza’s family to reconcile matters, which turned out to be a trap for the two. Members of Fizza’s family then allegedly killed her and her husband in the name of honour. Their dead bodies were then thrown ruthlessly to the streets.
The police informed that a case has been registered and that culprits will be held accountable under the light of evidences.
Earlier in January, a girl and her fiancé were gunned down, allegedly by the girl’s maternal uncle after spotting the couple chatting with each other in Sindh’s Ghotki.
The girl, identified as Nazeeran, was speaking with her husband-to-be Shahid in Nayi Wahi village in the suburbs of Ghotki when seen by her uncle, who opened fire on them out of anger, Express News reported. According to police, the victims were each other’s cousins and the incident was a case of ‘honour killing’….
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) hasreported an average of 650 “honour” killings annually over the past decade. But since most go unreported, the real number is likely to be much higher.

Another honor killing in Pakistan: Muslim family murders couple for marrying for love
…………………………
*Hideous*–this poor couple.
There is no love in Islam.
And this is the usual–where the family pretends to call for a reconciliation, to lull the victim into letting down their guard so they can be murdered. I have now heard of scores of these cases. But so often the victims really want to make things good with their families, so they so often fall for it.

MOHAMMED GIVES PERMISSION TO LIE TO COMMIT THE MURDER OF A CRITIC
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Who is willing to kill Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?” Thereupon Muhammad bin Maslama got up saying, “O Allah’s Apostle! Would you like that I kill him?” The Prophet said, “Yes,” Muhammad bin Maslama said, “Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab). “The Prophet said, “You may say it.” … (Sahih al-Bukhari 5.369, cf. the article on Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf for further details)

Curious. I would think a Muslim uncle would be overjoyed that his niece was betrothed to her own cousin. Where’s the dishonor? Isn’t inbreeding honorable in Islam?

It’s not considered honorable if the two are marrying for love, and if the family wanted to sell her to someone with more money.
God, I hate Islam.
Ren says
Love is not common in islam. Islam is about domination.

There is *no* love in Islam.
Occasionally there is love between Muslims–as here–but it is often punished by those who are more Islamic, like the murderous families in these two horrible cases.
Lydia Church says
Love!? Love?! You expect LOVE in islam?!?!
There is no love allowed in islam!
Happy Valentine’s Day for them, no?
How sad.
At least they had a short time of love, something these brutal monsters never experience in their whole lives who killed them. Being in love is one of the beautiful experiences of being alive, so of course they are violently against it and want to slaughter any spark of love.
Patrick says
Gunned down? Better than being burnt alive in a locked can like one girl was by her mother about a year ago. Islam is evil.
WPM says
Moslem men killing Moslem woman ,where are all the Western feminist on this issue of honor killings in this religion of peace? Where are they on child brides ,women of the right hand? Rape “grooming” gangs ,having up to 4 wives, beating wives? They are too busy thinking up 6 or 12 new genders to be enacted as forced speech law or marching on the great problem of man spreading on public transportation in the west with their pussy hat on!

Pakistan – Paki., “pure” [Islamic], -stan, State – is a failed State.

Murder, an Islamic family value.

Grimly spot on.

We need an icon for posting this automatically on Gab.ai since Twitter (the Moslem controlled platform) is not locking all conservative bloggers.
Remember, Islam is nothing more that a criminal, political and military doctrine established by an arch-criminal…

Some years ago I read an account by a North Korean who had escaped to the south. He said that until he left NoKo that he had never heard of the concept of love. He said he turned in his own mother for a minor infraction and she was arrested and tortured.
I can’t help thinking that this is akin to Islam. The concept of love is not recognized.!

Yes–hard core Communism and Islam–and Fascism–are all loveless, totalitarian creeds.
