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

India: Muslim woman murdered by her father and brother for relationship with Hindu man

Sep 12, 2018 11:44 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic law forbids Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men.

“And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe. And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheist, even though she might please you. And do not marry polytheistic men until they believe. And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you. Those invite to the Fire, but Allah invites to Paradise and to forgiveness, by His permission. And He makes clear His verses to the people that perhaps they may remember.” (Qur’an 2:221)

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.”

“Muslim woman killed by brother and father for being in ‘relationship’ with Hindu man,” OpIndia, September 12, 2018 (thanks to J.):

In a suspected case of honour killing, a Muslim woman was strangulated and mutilated by her father and brother in Purba Burdwan district, West Bengal, for being in a ‘relationship’ with a Hindu man.

The duo, residents of Bihar’s Jamalpur, were arrested from Kolkata on Monday by Purba Burdwan district police, a senior officer said.

Police who on 31st August recovered the body of a woman whose face was mutilated with a stone, from an agricultural land around 19 km from Burdwan, said “During the post-mortem, we found two numbers jotted on her body, following which we got hold of the man with whom she was in a relationship.”

A police team then reached the Hindu man’s residence in Mumbai, who then provided the police with all the necessary details of the woman’s residence and family members. This helped the police to nab her father and brother, who worked as drivers in Kolkata.

The two admitted to killing the woman with a rope inside a moving vehicle, while they were taking her back to Jamalpur and then dumped her body in the agricultural land after defacing her face with a stone, the officer said.

Though this is a suspected case of honour killing, the police are also probing whether there were other reasons behind her killing.

This is not for the first time where a Muslim girl or woman has been penalised with death by her family members for choosing a Hindu as her life partner. In June last year, a pregnant Muslim woman was burnt alive by her family in Karnataka for marrying a Hindu man, while a Hindu man and his Muslim wife were killed in broad daylight by woman’s brother in Uttar Pradesh in November 2014….

    >Al-Jazeera reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.”<

    Yup, Islamic traditions are only in rape and murder!! and somehow to reform this criminal behavior will destroy"family values"! What a moronic upside down view of the morality and sin in Islam. Islamic values are exactly opposite of the human values that most human beings cherish but not Muslims!!

      For decades I hear of Hindu men and women marrying Muslims in spite of all the information they are exposed to about the Religion of Peace_in spite of all the warnings and cautions given to them by their family and friends who care for them.

      When they realise what a deathly way of life and set of beliefs they have embraced , by then it is too late. Usually the Hindu women have the children and so cannot leave.

      An excellent book is one written in a English by aindian journalist Urvashi Butalia . It recounts the fate befallen on those Hindus who chose to remain in Pakistan at the time of Partition. It makes chilling yet sobering reading!

        The book is called “ The Other Side of Silence “ by Urvashi Butalia

        Bollywood culture has played a strong role in promoting this fake goodwill between Hindus and Muslims. Nothing can be farther from the truth. Muslims have live with Hindus for more than 1000 years and yet they never miss a chance to kill Hindus on any pretext. Speaking of Bollywood – the brain dead Hindu actresses have married and are marrying Muslim actors and they convert Islam as the Muslim husband wishes. These ladies nave not learned the real history how their Hindu ancestors were killed or converted by the ancestors of Muslims they are marrying. Many Hindu revisionist historians have played a major role in pushing this narrative of benevolent Islamic rule under Mughals which is exactly opposite of the truth. Sigh!!

        The plight of Hindus and other non-Muslim minorities in Pakistan and Bangladesh is really a pathetic one for them as their population has decreased from about 18 – 20% at partition to about 2 to 3% now in Pakistan. All this decrease is due to killing, conversion, kidnapping and migration.

        Thanks for the reference of Butalia’s book.

    Diversity is strength! We need that kind of diversity here in America! Just keep repeating the official line, peons.

    The book is written in English and is titled “ The Other Side of Silence “ by Indian journalist Urvashi Butalia . It details the living horrors experienced by those Hindus ho chose to remain in Pakistan after the Partition of India.

    It makes for blood curdling Reading !

      The writer was curious about her relatives who chos to stay back in Pakistan whilst the rest of Urvashi’s relatives fled to India at the time of India’s Partition

      Her family never spoke of them and it was only after seeing some old photos of those relatives that Urvashi was compelled to disentangle the mystery of their fat and how they ( dirty Hindoos); fared in Pakistan ( the Land of the Pure)

    The Hindu man was probably influenced by watching too many “Bollywood movies” where people of many different religions live happily ever after.

    or he read about the fake history of ” composite culture”

    or did not read Sita Ram Goel book the Calcutta Quran Petition.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Calcutta_Quran_Petition

    http://voiceofdharma.org/books/tcqp/

    or read Robert Spencer’s new book where he says that the Mughal Emperor got less happy with Islam and became more tolerant towards the Hindus. There is no evidence for this. This is a myth put forward by Indian historians.

    There is also a good documentary on honour killing in Pakistan…Story of one girl surviving an attack by her father and uncle, and the journey to prosecute them. Heartbreaking.

    “A Girl In The River.”
