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.
“Teenage girl, boyfriend beheaded by father and uncle in Attock village,” by Tahir Naseer, Dawn, September 24, 2018:
An 18-year-old girl was beheaded along with her 21-year-old boyfriend by her father and uncle in what the police are calling yet another incident of honour killing, DawnNews TV reported on Monday.
The incident, that took place in a small village in Attock district, transpired when the man arrived at the girl’s house to meet her, police said. Soon after, the girl’s father Masood and her uncle Waheed walked in and, after tying the victims with ropes, beheaded them with a sharp object.
The police have arrested both suspects and recovered the murder weapon as well, Sub-inspector of Saddar police station Asif Khan told DawnNews TV. The bodies of both victims have been sent to District Headquarters Hospital for an autopsy after which they will be returned to their families. A case of double-murder has also been registered.
Honour killings continue despite new lawsScores of people in Pakistan, an overwhelming majority of whom are women, are still being murdered by relatives for bringing ‘shame’ on their family, more than a year since new laws came into force aimed at stemming the menace of ‘honour killings’. In October 2016, a joint sitting of both houses of parliament passed two key pro-women bills that had been pending assent for a long time….

What kind of God would be pleased with this – a Father beheading his daughter so she can not enter paradise !?!?
The Mohammadan Allah is not God – by “his” own boast “he” is a deceiver and a murderer.
Jaladhi says
You know that this “religion” is based on murder, killing, looting, pedophilia, incest, and every conceivable disgusting behavior that some human beings indulge in but In Islam its a requirement to be a Muslim!
Jayell says
God (i.e., the Universal Creator) cannot by definition be man-made, but religion is. So one has to ask if the people in this story are like they are because of their religion, or if the religion is as it is because of the people who invented and practise it|?

Savvy Kafir says
I wouldn’t want ANYONE to burn in Hell for eternity (if Hell actually existed). Not even those who have, for all practical purposes, become monsters in human form.
I consider Muslims to be the enemies of all that’s best about the civilized world, and believe they have no business living in it, spreading the cancer of their vile ideology. It was insanity to allow them to immigrate to the West in the first place. And now the True Believers of Islam (those who set the agenda for all Muslims) are once again aggressively waging war on the West, via various means — the Demographic Jihad being the most threatening, by far. They must be stopped, by any means necessary. Some of these hostile invaders will have to die, so that innocent infidels can live, and so the civilized world can remain civilized..
But even when dealing with the most evil, vicious, dangerous foes, a bullet to the head will suffice to neutralize the threat. At this point, after seeing Muslim savages slaughter non-Muslim men, women & children, over & over again, I’m totally cool with that solution, when it’s necessary. This IS war. A war they have brought to us, for the most fucked-up motives imaginable.
But I have never understood the desire of many religious people (both Christians and Muslims) to see their enemies roast for all eternity. It seems like such sadistic overkill. What’s the point? Eliminate the threat, then call it a day.

BabbooU says
Please do not call it a Religion, It is a Gang of totally uneducated class unaware of love towards God and it’s creation. They in each sentence mention Allah but just a habit but does not care for God and his creation. Elders teach innocent children to kill Animals and when they get trained in years, seeing Blood coming out, it is easy for them to kill anyone – Animals or Humans.
mortimer says
A manual of Islamic law certified by Al-Azhar as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy says that “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.”
However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.” (‘Umdat al-Salik o1.1-2).
In other words, someone who kills his child incurs no legal penalty under Islamic law. In accord with this, 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.”

Walter Sieruk says
There seems to be no end in sight to that brutal , malicious and murderous Islamic violence which, something, takes the form of the malice-filled, cruel vicious and murdering action that is so inappropriately called “honor killing.” This malicious misogyny is so heinous, callous and malice- filled that it’s an affront to all that is good, decent and right. In addition, the author, Brigitte Gabriel had revealed in her book which is entitled THEY MUST BE STOPPED on pages 171,172 , that “The shocking reality is that most Muslim men ,including those educated in the West ,have no objection to the degradation of women in their countries .Across the Muslim world, even in moderate Islamic countries, women’s’ rights are almost nonexistent…Women is Islam are considered unclean ,deemed inferior even to dirt.” Furthermore, as for Islamic violence against girls and women in Canada. In this just cited book it explains on page 176 that “Honor killings have also come to the West thanks to the rise of Islamic immigration. “
Indeed, they must be stopped!
Jean Terry says
That is why I don’t understand “feminists” as they say nothing about these things but will defend Muslims above Christians.

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.]

There is nothing that goes on that God does not see and they will be up for judgement of the highest Creator of heaven and earth. not some dead prophet that has long gone back to the dust
DHazard says
This incident takes Right vs. Wrong to the parallel world of Muslim imprinting. The “father” apparently never loved his daughter. Instead he has sadly mirrored the same position towards his daughter that Allah has towards humanity; a dominant figure whose claim to be merciful is contradicted by his actions. Allah doesn’t seem to understand love. Islam plagues Muslims with many irreconcilable contradictions which they often carry on their shoulder’s while crying “Islamopobe!”. Here the “father” may have even felt he was “saving” his daughter. But he definitely felt like his personal image was being tainted by her, an image tightly bound up with Islam.
And by the way, many concentration camp survivors ended up thriving in the US. But this sad man is so self obsessed he can’t even feel an emotion as complicated as gratitude.
mortimer says
Muslim WOMEN who remain in Islam are ENCOURAGING VIOLENCE against ANY and ALL WOMEN.
Even perfectly OBEDIENT MUSLIM WOMEN are UNFAIRLY TARGETED FOR VIOLENCE that is EXCUSED BY ISLAM ITSELF.
The abuse of women is SANCTIONED BY DISCRIMINATORY SHARIA.

Yes–and many Muslim women enable “Honor Killings” themselves–often of their own relatives.

Well, the father probably had already arrange for a buyer… er, I mean husband, for his daughter, and the loss of the dowry was probably not going to work for his bottom line.

Also very common.
josephine says
maybe the group Center for Popular Democracy (Maria Gallagher, Ana Maria Archila) should start targeting real discrimination and sexual viloence as there is more than enough of it in the islam belief system in every country where islam takes root. Honor killings are rampant, even in our country, as one is too much.
Unfortunately, the only agenda of the soros funded cdp is to put communism/socialism/islamism/ignorance in place of our Constitution. Will never happen. Also, unfortunately obama’s Acorn group is mixed with this CPD bunch and we all know what their mission is. So, ladies and I use the term lightly, focus on real crimes against women perpetrated by islam men. Until light is brought to this issue it won’t be addressed seriously and the arab men will still get by with murder, even in our country. And you possibly could recognize the female genital mutilation going on around us which is illegal in all but 23 states and you all know who you are. If you really give a damn about protecting women start with the above.
Kay says
Yes, it will take all of us to stand against this evil.
Wellington says
Nothing to do with Islam of course. Oh yeah, the massively destructive game continues whereby it is asserted that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance and, as a bonus, greatly honors women.
Time for a beer. But infinitely more important, time for Islam to be accurately described for the tremendous evil and mistake which it is.
Ren says
“Stop violence against women” should be “Stop islam” instead.

A Jew commits murder
It is a sin against God: a violation of the 6th commandment
It is contrary to the Torah
Repent of the evil and avail of God’s Mercy
A Christian commits murder
It is a sin against God: a violation of the 6th commandment
It is contrary to the Gospel
Repent of the evil and avail of God’s Mercy
A muslim commits murder of a non-muslim
It is Ok because he was simply “slaying the unbelievers” k2:191 {in violation of the 6th cmdt!}I
It is OK according to the koran
No need to repent:allah rewards the murderers of infidels in paradise
BUT..it is STILL a sin against God according to the Laws of God {Exodus 20}
in that Bible..a book that allah says he wrote{koran 3:3}..yet we see allah DISAGREES with these laws in his koran!

Pakistan: Muslim father beheads his 18-year-old daughter and her boyfriend in honor killing
…………………..
This *poor girl and her boyfriend*.
And notice that this was a family affair–her uncle took part in the murders, as well. This is *very* common with Muslims.
God, I hate Islam.
Blangwort says
In a world where family and community reputation is everything, this is what happens. If you’re not at least as Islamic as your neighbor, you do these things to prove that you’re still a badass.
In our world of individual rights, we watch in horror as these acts of destructive hate are committed in the name of something so trivial.
Naturally I am appalled, but there is little I can do to stop this behavior. However, far more dangerous are the tendencies of Europeans to look the other way while this sort of thing happens in their own lands.
That is inexcusable.

In Islam marrying for love ruins the family reputation, but murdering those who marry for love restores it…

In Islam a daughter is a commodity like a bale of cotton to be sold, she is not a full human being.

“Honour killings continue despite new laws”
Why?
Scores of people in Pakistan, an overwhelming majority of whom are women, are still being murdered by relatives for bringing ‘shame’ on their family, more than a year since new laws came into force aimed at stemming the menace of ‘honour killings’. In October 2016, a joint sitting of both houses of parliament passed two key pro-women bills that had been pending assent for a long time….
sidney penny says
“The legislation mandates life imprisonment for honour killings, but whether a murder can be defined as a crime of honour is left to the judge’s discretion.
That means the culprits can simply claim another motive and still be pardoned, according to Dr Farzana Bari, a widely respected activist and head of the Gender Studies Department at Islamabad’s Quaid-i-Azam University.”
Ah, that is Pakistan for you where politicians cannot define in legislation what an Honor crime is.
Why did they not ask Robert Spencer to do it for them rather than leaving it to a judge?
gravenimage says
Also, in Islam a murder is often forgiven if the family of the victim forgives. You can imagine how this works when the family of the victim and the killer are one and the same.

You are wrong, he loved his daughter very much , there is a definition of (albeit narrow, but it has to for women) that his daughter knows… a certain protocol to be followed, the father is responsible for the honour of the whole family within the community.
The article did not say whether they was an ongoing fued, whether the father knew of the boy and disapproved, whether the boy challenged to take away his daughter without consent … none of these essential details have been covered by the article … why not? they are ultra important in this setup.
The article does not say who the new bread winners are going to be… I suspect that the father knew of the boy , disapproved of him, the girl was probably promised elsewhere and the boy daringly challenged in a rude and unconventional manner, the father saw red, asked for help and the rest is history.

Not really. The main point is that daddy dearest was willing to murder his own daughter and the man she loved. No civilized person would have done this, whether there was a preexisting feud or not.
Note that merely taking a daughter away without the owner’s consent is cause enough for murder as Rezali Mehil sees it–the idea that she has the right to go wherever she wants is not even considered.

“Promised elsewhere”–in other words, that the father had sold his daughter, and was now enraged that he would not see the profit from the sale. *Ugh*.
And only in Islam is it “unconventional” to be able to choose whom to love.
And the murderer did not just “see red”, as Rezali Mehil herself admits–instead, he conspired with the victim’s uncle (and perhaps others) to “restore Honour”–this was not spur of the moment anger; it was an Islamically-inspired, *planned* murder. This is First-Degree Murder here in the United States.
