Pakistan: Muslims murder five girls for clapping while male dancers performed at wedding ceremony

Dec 31, 2018 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Note that the families of the girls tried to cover up their murders.

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.

“Four men in police custody for allegedly killing five girls for ‘honour’ in Kohistan in 2012,” by Atif Qayum, Samaa, November 29, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Four suspects have been arrested by the Kohistan police for the alleged honour killing of five girls in 2012. They were remanded to police custody for eight days.

The girls were killed in the Palas area in 2012 for clapping while male dancers performed at a wedding ceremony.

The Supreme Court had ordered the registration of an FIR in June and on August 1 an FIR was registered against the suspects. Kolai-Palas district police officer Iftikhar Khan had told the media on August 1 that the police registered the FIR under Section 364 of the Pakistan Penal Code. He said if the girls weren’t found, then the police could add Section 302 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to the FIR and arrest suspected killers.

The suspects – two fathers and two brothers of the girls — were arrested and presented before a judicial magistrate, who ordered their eight-day remand. They are being questioned about where the girls’ bodies were buried.

The girls were killed on the orders of a village Jirga. Afzal Kohistani had petitioned the Supreme Court in the matter after his three brothers were also killed after being seen dancing in the video that went viral on social media.

The Supreme Court had earlier ordered an investigation to ascertain whether the girls were alright following conflicting reports of their wellbeing. The families said they were in good health, while others said they had been killed. A judicial commission formed by the top court and headed by the Kohistan district and session judge had revealed that the families actually produced other underage girls and tried to pass them off as the girls seen in the video….

    Not at all trying to minimize these poor girls’ murders but male dancers and music at a muzzlum wedding? I thought dancing and music were in Islamic.

    • Watchingtheweasels says

      Dec 31, 2018 at 1:25 pm

      Yeah, doesn’t make much sense to me to allow dancers and music, but ban clapping?

      But logic and Islam really have nothing to do with each other.

        I think the clapping was only a problem because they were girls clapping at men. No doubt the men could clap for the dancers. How the women were present to see the male dancers I don’t know.

      I think the only thing Allah allows is rape and murder.

        Islam began as a gang of highwayman. These are the morals of gangsters.

      I thought dancing and music were [un]Islamic.

      they *are* unislsamic, j_not_a; that’s why there were killed.

      If you read the article you will see that the dancers wee murdered, as well. There is no fun in Islam…

    • rick oneil says

      “three brothers were also killed after being seen dancing in the video that went viral on social media.”

      so the dancers were apparently murdered as well. So eight young people killed in total. And to think I got a reprimand from FB earlier today because I said muslims were savages.

        Dec 31, 2018 at 11:34 pm

        Right. It should be noted that these aren’t terrorists in honor killings but family and apparently not even Jordan strongly condemns it. The Al Jazeera comment about stricter penalties hurting religious values and families is sick and twisted. Killing a family member because they dishonored the family in some way, often brothers killing a sister who got with a man or something.

        We’ve already had honor killings in the US in the last 10 years. Muslims think Islam is moral and more moral than our secular govt country. Yet all the vices and sins happen in their countries and then they have horrible things like honor killings, and more. It’s warped to believe you are restoring honor to your family by killing a family member. I remember one mother in Pakistan who approved of her son killing his sister. Sick.

    • Muscum says

      That’s why they were killed.

    • J D S says

      Jan 1, 2019 at 12:29 pm

      More reasons to show the barbaric nature of Islam and of course more reasons to destroy it. Ooooooo Could that be a racist and an islamophobic statement?

    • Harry says

      Jan 1, 2019 at 3:01 pm

      Uninformed apologist.

      There is a multi-billon dollar Arabic pop music industry. isLAMB is not consistent . The moooozlims with money do as they please- drink, dance, have sex with boys, women and livestock and forbid actions of those with less influence

    Pakistan is all the evil of Nazi Germany with none of the competence. Are there not at least one percent of Pakistanis moral, intelligent, brave and willing enough to form up into squads to take down the bloodthirsty vermin imams and jihadists? Even Germans made several attempts to assassinate Hitler. The brave Sophie Scholl puts to shame the weak, cowardly Pakistanis.

    • b.a. freeman says

      Dec 31, 2018 at 4:28 pm

      i’m an old fart, and can offer little resistance to the hard-core left and pious muslims, but if they take me by surprise (not very hard) and capture me to kill me, i hope to go as bravely as ms. scholl did. islam, the religion of criminals, is indeed cowardly and weak … as is all that comes from satan.

      Islam in Pakistan. What could possibly go wrong?

  3. Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says

    Dec 31, 2018 at 1:01 pm

    Is there a connection between Pakistan having the most first cousin marriages and offspring and this sort of behavior? I believe more studies must be conducted into this matter. There seems to be a high correlation between inbreeding and lunacy.

    • mortimer says

      Dec 31, 2018 at 2:03 pm

      Yes, I believe there is a connection. IED (intermittent explosive disorder) is a potential cause of Islamic rage.

      But let me repeat my slogan: “IT’S THE IDEOLOGY, STUPID”. Sharia law contains NO PUNISHMENT if you kill your children.

      • b.a. freeman says

    C’mon all you Feminists out there! Read this article and tell us that Islam is a ‘Feminist’ religion.

    Sharia law has NO PUNISHMENT for a parent or grandparent who MURDERS his offspring.

    Honor killings are LEGAL in Islam if its in the family.

    The patriarch is JUDGE, JURY and HANGMAN. Soooooo feminist, isn’t it?

    No, its PATRIARCHAL IN THE EXTREME.

    • JCH says

      True patriarchal orders are too protect and educate….not maim and eradicate.

      Dec 31, 2018 at 2:11 pm

      mortimer,
      Feminists for the most part are pro-abortion so why would they have a problem with Muslims murdering their offspring?

      • b.a. freeman says

        Dec 31, 2018 at 4:31 pm

        :-/

        yes, rooare; one might say that it’s just a much-delayed abortion. the abortion can also be offspring of one’s offspring.

    “Remanded for eight days.” Guess they’ll be let go afterward.

    The girls who clapped and the guys who danced. The girls were killed by their fathers and brothers…who most likely did the killing of the young men. And they have the nerve to lie and say the girls are “in good health” while lying some more and trying to pass off other girls to prove the girls were “in good health.”

    In pakistan, is lying to the police a crime? moslims are taught to lie as a matter of course. Does it ever get them in hot water with the authorities who are also moslim?

    • mortimer says

      Dec 31, 2018 at 2:05 pm

      They don’t trust anything another Muslims says because they know it’s likely to be false.

    Fathers and brothers killing daughters and sisters. What savages. What a repulsive, disgusting religion. Keep them the hell out of here.

    Another day another group of Moslems killing other Moslem even their own offspring in the Islamic sh*t hole run country is not news .Some body giving a Moslems a dirty look in London or leaving pork on the doorknob of a Mosque in Western Europe that is front page western MSM finger pointing and a jail sentence for the bacon hanger! The silence of western” feminist ” on this issue is very telling their fear of offending the “Moslem male ego” ,because in their mind he cannot be held to the same standard as the “normal” Western male speaks of bigotry of the highest order. Killing of offspring for offense of showing normal emotions is a cultural thing that cannot be condemn by todays SJW coward cultural if it is connected to Islam !

  11. WPM says

    Music, dancing socializing between men and women all forbidden in Islam, no wonder they are in a hurry to kill each other and themselves to get to whore heaven! To be a women born into a tradition Islamic family must be like living in hell. What a crazy family tradition honor killing ,rape, murder ,child marriage ,sex slavery , what not to love for today SJW who embrace and protect this cult of death .

    Hmmm. . . . I see a shocking lack of cultually-correct tolerance for pedaphilia, infantacide, and parental murder! Have you no shame, despising this cult?! Why, you guys just must be – let’s see, what’s the label?
    Oh yes . . . islamaphobes!
