The Qur’an forbids the killing of infant girls. In a passage on the day of judgment, it says this will happen on that day:
“And when the girl buried alive is asked for what sin she was killed” (81:8-9)
But women are so devalued in Islam, it happens anyway. The birth of a daughter in Islamic cultures is often seen as an occasion for mourning, a divine reproach upon the family.
“Karachi becoming a killing field for newborn girls,” by Fakhar Durrani, The News International, April 26, 2018 (thanks to Vikram):
ISLAMABAD:-In February this year, an anonymous caller rang at Edhi Center in Karachi. He informed about a dead body dumped in garbage. As the staffers reached at the venue, they were aghast at the barbarity.
They found a dead body of a new born. It was a four-day girl whose throat was slit with a sharp knife. While girls were buried in pre-Islamic period as unwanted creature, cruel souls in Karachi are a step ahead: they kill and throw them at garbage. This nameless girl is not the only victim of barbarity. From January 2017 to April 2018, Edhi foundation and Chhipa Welfare organisation have found 345 such new born babies dumped in garbage in Karachi only and 99 percent of them were girls.
“We have been dealing with such cases for years and there are a few such incidents which shook our souls as much. It left us wondering whether our society is heading back to primitive age,” Anwar Kazmi, a senior manager in Edhi Foundation Karachi, told The News.
Edhi Foundation has found 355 such dead infants from the garbage dumps across the country in 2017; 99 percent of them were identified girls. And Karachi has topped in this notorious ranking with 180 cases in 2017. As many as 72 dead girls have been buried in the first four months of this year by Edhi Foundation alone in the metropolitan city. The given data is just tip of the iceberg as Edhi foundation maintains the data of those cities where it provides services.
Chhipa Welfare Foundation, another NGO, came across 93 cases in Karachi where newborn girls were killed; around 70 babies in 2017 and 23 in this year.
“Though people abandon these innocent souls but as a welfare organization we cannot. We give them a proper burial and perform other rituals for these babies. After completing the hospital and police formalities, we burry them in our own graveyard. The burial and other rituals cost us around Rs 2,000 per child. I wonder how poor can a person be that he/she cannot afford Rs 2000 to give a proper burial to their child,” commented Shahid Mehmood spokesperson of Chhipa Welfare Organization.
In many major cities of Pakistan, Edhi foundation installed ‘Jhoolas’ (baby cradles) so that the people should leave unwanted children there instead of killing them. The number of such sites is in hundreds across the country but this initiative received little success. One of the reasons for the lack of response to such ‘Jhoolas’ is wrath of religious leadership which believe this will promote illegitimacy. Although Edhi foundation claims they are getting positive response from people but their data is contradictory to this claim. According to Kazmi, the foundation received only 14 unwanted children in 2017, who were alive. Interestingly, 12 out of 14 were girls whereas the remaining two boys were physically unfit.
According to a police official in Additional Inspector General (AIG) Karachi office, Neelum Colony Karachi located near Clifton is one of the slum area of the metropolitan city. Majority of the inhabitant of this colony are living below the poverty line and are illiterate. Incidents of infanticide are occurring in those areas where people have no access to even basic necessities and Neelum Colony is one such area, brief an official in the AIG Karachi office.
Though police term poverty and illiteracy as root cause of infanticide but Edhi foundation’s office bearer has different views about it. According to Mr. Kazmi, in majority of cases infanticide is occurring due to out of wedlock births. Normally, people kill girls if they are born out of wedlock as this is consider a stigma. However if the baby is a boy the family try to protect him. “We have seen so many horrible incidents. One such incident which still I remember despite passage of more than a decade is the stoning of a new born baby who was found outside mosque”, says Mr. Kazmi.
“A few people found a baby at the door step of a mosque in Karachi and they handed the baby over to the prayer leader. The cleric decried that this is an illegitimate baby therefore he should be stoned. Resultantly the baby was stoned to death. I tried to register a case against the cleric but nothing happened”, narrated Kazmi….
Salah says
They kill newborn girls and throw them at garbage.
We are more civilized: We kill the unborn (boys or girls) and throw them in garbage.

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.

WESTPAC Spy says
There’s just a slight difference. I’m not surprised you missed it. The Pakistanis do this because they listen to their clerics. who are above the law.

We have abortion because the secularists want to silence our clerics and put them in prison if they won’t shut up. See Robert Spencer’s book on free speech for further details.
But, yeah, that’s such a subtle difference I’m not surprised you didn’t pick up on the nuance.
Save Europe says
With the huge number of Pakistanis we have in the UK, it’s only a matter of time before we experience cases like these. After all, we already have the wonders of FGM, clandestine polygamy, honour killings, honour rapes et cetera
Dale says
The UK has legalized, taxpayer funded abortions. That along with early ultrasound, also taxpayer funded. This means the that inconvenient female babies get aborted.
WESTPAC Spy says
The clandestine polygamy isn’t so clandestine, is it. It’s pretty f***ing blatant, I believe. Who doesn’t know about except your Home Office. Which like our government in the U.S. consisting of bureaucrats also pretend not to know why someone shouting “Allahu Akbar” and citing verses of the Quran and quotes from the ahadith never can figure out a motive.

WESTPAC Spy says
This makes you special? If anyone commenting here is in favor of infanticide raise your hand. The thing is, are you willing to go to war over it. I am. I spent 20 years in the Navy and if necessary I’d spend my next 20 to put a stop to this barbarity.
If I should live so long. I might, as I would only be 75. And then if the job wasn’t finished I’d sign up for another twenty. Yes, I want to do what it takes to put a final stop to this b&lls&it. And after twenty years in the Navy I know something about how horrific it would be. Actually, far more than twenty years. I was born and received primary care in a Naval Regional Medical Center because my dad was a Coastie, so I got to see the horribly burned and gruesomely maimed from earliest memory. And I signed up anyway. Where do you stand?
Everybody talks about the weather. Nobody does anything about it.
revereridesagain says
Which raises the question, where are they going to get all those underage wives for all those Muslim boys who have been promised 4 apiece by Allahoochiekichiekoo? Ship the boys to Britain and turn them loose? Can there possibly be better evidence that Islam teaches hatred of females than this?
gravenimage says
Yep. They can either go to Dar-al-Harb or just kidnap some of the few remaining Christian, Hindu, and Sikh girls. Muslims in Pakistan do this all the time.
Westman says
What kind of knuckle-dragging “humans”, claiming to be governed by a peaceful religion, would stone a baby to death at the direction of a mosque prayer leader? Is there no sadistic depravity too great to be embraced by Islamists if some Muslim authority approves it?
gravenimage says
Yes, Westman–sick beyond words.

No. There is no depravity too great………….

Slit the throat of a baby?I dont have the words
Nona says
I agree with the words of a commentor above, we, in the Western also kill babies, albeit, they’re unborn.
As to cutting the throats, abortionists cut the larynx of the unborn, first, so that they will not be heard, as they try to scream from the pain of being dismembered.
In born cases, the infants are slaughtered.
Bobby says
Nona … You”ve broke my heart with your post there.It’s beyond my imagination.
Bobby says
Nona…You’ve broke my heart with your comment there.It’s beyond my imagination.
WESTPAC Spy says
No, those are the words. It’s why the stories of the brutal treatment of child brides are so believable. There was a story out of Afghanistan about an elder who married a child bride a few years ago. Apparently she was just a little too small, so he slit her wider so he could consummate the marriage.
It turned out the story couldn’t be confirmed.

libertyORdeath says
The Qur’an itself is so unintelligible and contradictory that Mr. Spencer is trying to make the point that even “divinely sanctioned” Quran passages are abrogated or just plain ignored if it suits the “faithful”
Another good example of this is the Hadiths prohibition of “punishing enemies with fire”.
“No one may punish using fire other than the Lord of the Fire (Allaah).” Aboo Hamzah al-Aslamee (#2673)
“It is not befitting for anyone to punish using fire, other than the Lord of the Fire (Allaah).” Aboo Hurayrah (#2674)
As we have seen from many jihadist groups, most notably ISIS, this prohibition is ignored when a Muslim thinks the benefits outweigh the risk.
gravenimage says
What crap. “Muslim” did note that this is happening in Pakistan–a country that is about 97% Muslim, and that even an Imam stoned a little baby girl to death.
Islam also subjects women and girls to FGM, child marriage, forced marriage, forced veiling, rape, sex slavery, wife beating, “Honor Killing” and stoning to death.
Islam hates women.
Carolyne says
And oddly, Muslim women do not hate Islam.
gravenimage says
Yes–some Muslim women are just trapped, but many of them defend this vicious creed.
Ray Jarman says
What choice have they Carolyne, especially in places such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen and others that kill an apostate? When in Iran a woman is shoved and beaten to the ground and forced into a vehicle, the poor women who give birth and watch their precious little girls slaughtered are terrified to utter a word. Even when male cult members (even when they do bring their wives and children with them) lie their way into America, Canada and Europe, they never integrate into the societies that offer them a chance to live like human beings. These poor ladies of which you ask are most likely scared to death to attempt fleeing from their bondage. The question should be is why is the west so blind to the bondage and brutality of poor women in Islam.
Linda says
It would appear that the goto answer to every perceived problem is to kill someone or something.
Garfield says
For a death cult it makes sense doesn’t it?
Islam is a death cult run like a mafia, fueled by lies and perversion.
Stacy Girl says
Abundance evidence supports this fact.
Necrophage says
Muslims are vile. Human life is nothing but garbage to them.
Carolyne says
And they are garbage to me.
somehistory says
There have been countless times when a child has been left outside a church. Not once have there been news reports of the baby being stoned for being “illegitimate” ….but the cult of demonic instructions is another thing entirely. they stone the innocent baby, not the beast who should be caring for him/her.
When Cain killed his brother….a grown man…our Creator stated that Abel’s “blood is crying out to me (God) from the ground.”
In the cases….however many hundreds or thousands there are…He hears their innocent blood crying out to Him for Justice.
In His own time and according to His own schedule, He will put things right and these demonic butchers will face Him in His Court.

An innocent child. She knew nothing about the world or herself. She did nothing wrong, and being born female is not a crime. I hope she’s in a far better place than this hideous world
Lebel says
“The Qur’an forbids the killing of infant girls. In a passage on the day of judgment, it says this will happen on that day”
It almost irrelevant what the Qu’ran says at this point for the jihadwatch ideology. Any murder, theft, rape, cannibalism, necromancy, harsh language, assault, fight, drunkenness, petty crime etc. that ever happened in a Muslim country is Islam’s fault. Same for any negative actions caused by people with Muslim sounding names.
I am predicting that we will soon see post about the “environmental jihad” or how Islam encourages pollution and the degradation of the environment. Give it 2 years tops.
somehistory says
Your friends engage it such things. One of the most recent: burning tires in Gaza in order to invade Israel in order to kill in the name of your fake deity. Such air pollution damages the lungs.
How about when graves are desecrated and tomb stones are broken because those buried were not of your cult.
Earth’s bounty is not something sacred to moslims. Destruction comes easy to the cult members.
There’s an old saying: “F the shoe fits, wear it.”
Mr. Spencer is honest in his exposing what islam is all about and doesn’t run an article on just any crime committed by someone who happens to have a “moslim sounding name.” Those crimes that warrant being called jihad, carried out in the name of and furtherance of islam, are the ones that he posts for the enlightenment of earth’s citizens.
libertyORdeath says
Taqiyya at its most base form…deny, deny deny, then try to place blame on others for pointing it out.
gravenimage says
What claptrap from Lebel–he hopes we will ignore Islam’s homicial hatred of women. And why not? He does.
Also, the idea that Jihad Watchers are ranting about “necromany” is just ludicrous. In fact, it is *Islam* that is targeting “witchcraft”, not the free West:
“Hamas arrested 150 witches in 2010”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2011/01/hamas-arrested-150-witches-in-2010
“Islamic State in Egypt executes 100-year-old Sufi cleric for ‘witchcraft’”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/11/islamic-state-in-egypt-executes-100-year-old-sufi-cleric-for-witchcraft
There are, of course, many, many more such cases.
gravenimage says
necromancy
Ray Jarman says
This just rips the heart out of me and I simply don’t know how a woman or man could kill his or her own child. It should matter not whether this Infanticide is committed against babies of either sex; it is the most barbarian act imaginable.
Unfortunately, there is nothing new as the Chinese practiced the same pogrom against females under communist regimes of Mao and his successors. In America as far back as 2008, 1.21 million which amounts to 3,322 babies killed per day and their ravaged bodies used by big pharma. Being a Christian, I find the killing of a baby or the rape of a young girl (by calling it marriage) vile and should be condemned by every civil society.
somehistory says
+ an infinite number.
Carolyne says
Being a human, I, too, find the killing or the rape of a young girl vile and it should be condemned………..
Mockingjay says
Apart from being horrific and barbaric, this practice also creates a disturbed male-to-female ratio, which means there will inevitably be a shortage of women for the male population to marry. This then, will lead to many of these “leftover men” choosing to migrate to “greener pastures”, a.k.a. THE WESTERN WORLD.
libertyORdeath says
Seems like a perfectly reasonable move to make if civilization jihad is indeed being carried out as we speak.
All the signs are there…
– One way immigration
– implementation of sharia law in western countries
– refusal to integrate
– establishment of civilization jihad groups like CAIR, MSA, ISNA etc.
– infiltration of governments, law enforcement and other influential establishments
– fake “islamophobia” propaganda
– forced immigration in countries refusing the migrant hordes
gravenimage says
True, Mockingjay.
Yet, Muslims like Ibrahim itace muhammed make the ludicrous claim that polygamy is necessary because females outnumber males four to one in Dar-al-Islam. What a disconnect from reality.

Too many Mohammedans already due to Islamic polygamy. Demographic Jihad.

Pakistan: Karachi becoming a killing field for newborn girls
………………………….
This is horrifying but does not surprise.
By the way, the ban on murdering baby girls is the *only* decent thing in the Qur’an (never mind that Judaism and Christianity already condemned this). But it figures that Muslims would ignore this.
More:
“A few people found a baby at the door step of a mosque in Karachi and they handed the baby over to the prayer leader. The cleric decried that this is an illegitimate baby therefore he should be stoned. Resultantly the baby was stoned to death. I tried to register a case against the cleric but nothing happened”, narrated Kazmi….
………………………….
*My God*–this is especially horrifying. And the poor little baby had nothing to do with being born out of wedlock (assuming of course that this was even the case).
By the way, I was born before my flaky parents got around to marrying. Just another instance where Islam would want me dead.
Islamic Mirror says
Off Topic
a lot of love in Christianity, a lot of anger and hate in Islam. Christian pray for others, muslims pray for themselves. “religion of war” full of “venomous misogyny
• Hate appears towards unbeliever 296 times,
• kill unbeliever 180 times,
• Muslims are the “best of peoples” (3:110)
• slaughtering people – and their neighbors and entire community – over just a rumor is mainstream Islam.
• 51% (548,190 words) of the Trilogy text (koran, hadith,sira), most of it slanders against non-Muslims
• The Qur´an 9,3% is Jewhatred, 51% is Kafirhatred, 31% jihad. Because the Qur´an involves itself with so many people outside Islam it is a political problem not only a religious problem.
• Not a single verse peaceful and be nice towards muslim sister. the Quran and hadith seem to be written for and only addressing men
• Koran is not that holy as mudslimes claim. Koran is the most unholiest book on earth and should be banned.
• the 14 Koran verses that say Muslims not befriends of dirty kafirs
• 154 – 164 verses of curses , jihad and war and killings -31% of the Islamic Trilogy (327,547 words) concerned with jihad-warfare – Suicidal insanity.
that’s 80% plus of that obnoxious rag being useless
Muslims are the “best of peoples” (3:110)
Hardly a day goes by without an Islamic terror attack somewhere in the world.
Without the threat of ‘violence ‘Islam has nothing to back it up.The alternative to violence surely is ‘love’which Christianity has in abundance.Therefore Islam will become redundant and shrivel away..Just when is the penny going to drop for Muslims.?
Muhammad was never a prophet, no miracles, was only a self described warner, Quran 29:50
steve clark1 month ago (edited)
Will God punish Muhammad in Hell The only plagiarized words of truth in the Quran are:
Jesus is Sinless, Jesus is the Messiah, Jesus is born of the Virgin Mary, Jesus performed miracles, Jesus is the Spirit, Jesus is the Word, Jesus is the Creator, Jesus is the Holy Son, Jesus is the Way, Jesus is the Truth, Jesus is the Life, Jesus is the Just, Jesus is the Ruler, and Jesus is the Judge.
And Antichrist Muhammad puts himself above Jesus Christ God the Son, and refuses His Deity and Gospels? This is Blasphemy. Will God punish Muhammad in Hell Gehenna. Muhammad was never a prophet, no miracles, only a self-described warner, Quran 29:50, but a Real Political and Military Warlord
The erroneous, corrupt and abrogating Quran also contains many historical errors, scientific errors, theological errors and messianic errors.
For example, planet earth is flat, the sun sets in a muddy pond, the stars shoot down demons, and humans are made from blood clots. And Muhammad said that;
“Jesus’ mother Mary is the sister of Aaron and the daughter of Imran”. (Quran 19:27–28, 66:12, 3:35-36). But Aaron was the brother of Moses and Imran was the father of Aaron and Moses.
The corrupt Quran busted again. Aaron, Moses and Imran (Levi lineage) lived 1400 years before Jesus and Mary (Davidic lineage). So the Quran is Not an eternal word and Not of God the Creator but the word of deception.
Muhammad and Allah (shirk) hating verses:
(Quran 8:55), “Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve”. (Quran 8:65),
“O Apostle ! rouse the believers to the fight of unbelievers”. (Quran 4:52),
“Those (Christians) are they whom Allah hath cursed..” Plus; (Quran 9:73, 66:9, 9:30, 8:12, 4:76, 4:47, 5:59-60,5:33, 4:56, 9:29, 47:4, 4:34, 5:51, 2:228, 2:221, 40:71-72, 22:19-21), Muslim 2167, Muslim 19:4294,…..etc.
Quran 54-1 the moon split and the judgement day is near.
Allah have leg, hands (both hands right side) Quran is corrupted written by othman. The variant reading of the verses in the parchments and Uthman Quran today prove that the Quran was changed by Uthman bin Affan without the directive from Allah.
1.6 bill. Muslims because it’s dangerous to leave; (Quran 4:89, 9:11-12), Bukhari (52:260). Said Winston Churchill, The River Wars, 1899; Islam in a man is like rabies in a dog. It’s a deadly disease.
Muhammad, No miracles, No witnesses, No prophecies, and No resurrection. Muslims have a slave to master relationship with Allah. Like worshipping a pagan god.

Islam the only religion where if a infant is left at the doorstep of the house of worship{a mosque } the religious leaders will command the congregation to stone the infant to death because of the supposed “sin” of the mother and father. Can anywhere in the world at anytime with any “great religion” has this behavior be observed ?In Christianity, Jewish , Hindus ,Buddhist , even pagan religions for the most part would shun this behavior .Where bloodlust, violence , ” supremacist feelings” trump all good will, charity, love and forgiveness , your soul must be near death to be a true believer in Islam. You must hug hate to your heart and hold it so dear to close out any feelings of being human . The leaders of the Nazi death camps had similar hearts of these the true followers of Islam. Fear, shame ,violence ,keep the masses in line crush anyone who gets out of line ,even an infant .
