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.
“Multan court indicts five for the murder of model Qandeel Baloch, including an imam,” by Shafique Khokhar, Asia News, May 4, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Multan (AsiaNews) – A court in Multan indicted five people in connection with one Pakistan’s most notorious cases of honour killing, namely the murder in July 2016 of Qandeel Baloch, a well-known model, blogger and youtuber.
One of those indicted is Imam Abdul Qavi, who was investigated for complicity right after the young woman was strangled by her younger brother Waseem Azaam to restore the family’s lost “honour”.
“Qandeel Baloch’s murder was a tragedy,” journalist Husnain Jamil told AsiaNews. “In Pakistan the number of honour killings is increasing due to the inadequate application of existing laws. We demand a fair and impartial trial to reduce the cases of violence against women.”
The young model was a controversial figure and her murder in 2016 was a cause célèbre. She was an iconic figure of female open-mindedness and courage, but by the standards of Pakistan’s male-dominated worldview, she was “too free”.
Her selfie with Islamic cleric Qavi (picture 2) caused scandal and led to a flood of criticism. For the model’s father, Azeem, the cleric was the instigator of the murder perpetrated by her younger brother Waseem.
During the trial, Azeem said that the imam offered him money to withdraw the charges against him. The next hearing is scheduled for 14 May….

islam’s honor and sexual cult must die

What about Muslimas Gigi Hadid & Bella Hadid? Both are models and both have seductive images on the Internet. No one is calling these women out. Both claim to be practicing Muslims.

HONOR KILLING … normative Islam, rather than an aberration … as proved by the MULLAH who participated, thus representing the canonical CONSENSUS of ISLAM.
Sharia law permits PARENTS to murder children and grandchildren without any punishment.

See…just another reason to overhaul the Muslim book of hate
Honor killings….now how stupid Is that……just another point against Islam, among scores more.
Of course one can see that honor killings is just one part of the FEAR tactic that has been used since the beginning of islam …apostasy etc.
without the apostasy law Islam would be just another religion and continuing today Muslims are still trying to use FEAR to advance their cause..Note the random murders they are committing almost daily.
Time for the government’s of the western world to take drastic action including using military…after all this WAR.
mortimer says
An ‘extreme’ Muslim executes the blasphemer and a ‘moderate’ Muslim holds the arms and legs while the blasphemer is strangled or stabbed to death.
Normative Islam.

If Islam ever needed a poster child it’s Pakistan. Would you want your children to lived there?

When copying others’ words, you should cite the source rather than implying them as your own. Otherwise, it’s called plagiarism.
Billy Chickens says
God I hate Islam.
elee says
If you truly hate Islam distinguish it from Muslims. Seeing as there are a huge number of them, they come in all flavors and temperaments. Someone has to be able to talk to them. Nothing else will teach them to hate Islam, and killing them all has a really lousy track record.

elee, where did Billy Chickens say that he intended to kill all Muslims?
Really, all he is doing is protesting the murder of this young woman, not talking about killing anyone himself.
Billy Chickens says
Normally people threaten to kill me since in certain areas I use my given name.
The last death threat I had was from a person who wanted me to “f—ing die a disgusting death…long, lingering, painful, humiliating while sh—ing and pi–ing all over [myself] in public – an oozing putrid vile death. Then burn in hell for eternity.”
In addition they think I am a “deviant piece of filth” and a ” putrescent bag of excrement”.
Probably some liberal snowflake – or maybe Isis. Who knows. I have no fear because my bunny rabbits will protect me.

Slightly off-topic but your post reminds me of an article about how Roseanne Barr has fulfilled her desire to have a neighboring Muslim family as a theme on her show. The plot revolves around her being fearful but eventually realizing what nice people they are etc.
This is so Leftist – Islamophobics misjudging really swell, innocent Muslims and then learning how foolish and negative they had been.
Meanwhile the real “hated” one – the looming menace called Islam – evades the pointer.
Peterson says
Pakistan is now trying their best to bring in Hussein Haqqani because of political vendetta. The media has made him a big criminal and trying to extradite him through Interpol. Also they are trying to get a terrorist in US jails and have his sentence in Pakistan. These are the priorities of Pakistan. They are into terrorism and protection of terrorists. All their talk is to give cover and protection to terrorists.

Pakistan: Imam among those indicted for honor murder of model Qandeel Baloch
………………………
This *poor woman*.
And yes–an Imam instigated her murder. Can you imagine a Priest, Minister, or Rabbi doing such a thing? Of course not.
Save Europe says
Pakistan – is truly regressing. The likes of Bangladesh, Indonesia, Egypt, as well. By certain Leftists, all these countries were seen as moderate Muslim countries. Over the last two years, their societies have, unquestionably, worsened, due to an increase in Islamic rubric.

Was there a moderate Nazi? Same as moderate Islam? Moderate islam is creation of the western PC leftards.

Of course there were MT..they ALL stated they were “just following orders” from Der Fuhrer..Kinda funny ain’t it,the parallels between uncle adolph and moohammed and the brain damaged genetic defects what took and take them seriously….Take note of the NAME of uncle adolphs pets,could there possibly be some connection between the MB then and the MB today????? Hello :http://www.billionbibles.org/sharia/hitler-muslim-brotherhood.html

@Midnite Rider…*that* article really ties things together! Hitler and the MB were literally “joined at the hip” and you can see the connections and influences to this very day! I urge everyone to read and save the article – here’s one of the smaller tidbits:
In 1987 the MB in Israel formed Hamas and they still use the Nazi salute and read Mein Kampf (which they re-titled My Jihad and translated into Arabic in 1930). My Jihad is the #6 bestseller in the Muslim world today and a favorite among members of the MB.

ROBERT: Muslims commit 91% of honor killings worldwide.
Our fearless leader posts a link that is 8 years old to confirm this fact.
Why?
Because in the intervening 8 years, there has not been a single study done on the subject….and there likely won’t be for the foreseeable future?
Why?
Because our academics, sociologists, and feminists…. don’t want to know.
Why?
Because it would reflect poorly on Muslims/Islam.
Ignorance is bliss….(until it bites you in the ass)

The murder of qandeel happened only two years ago (July 2016). These imams are obviously crazy pigs. So why aren’t they being ditched? It’s the age of communication and it’s beginning to look like the followers should begin taking responsibility as the REAL problem. We can’t allow people to be groomed with this mindset.
Carol the 1st says
cornelius…check out Dr. Phyllis Chesler, she’s a true expert on the subject and she’s presently a writing fellow at the Middle East Forum. Here’s a link to an article that is an excerpt from her book A Family Conspiracy: Honor Killing:
