No surprise here. 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.
“Pakistan: ‘Karo- Kari’ killings claim over 70 lives in 6 months in Sindh,” ANI, September 30, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Karachi, Sept 30 (ANI): Honour killings have claimed over 70 live in the rural parts of Sindh during the first six months of 2019, according to official figures in the local media.
Official estimates said 78 people were killed between January to June this year in parts of Sindh as part of honour killings also known as ‘Karo-Kari’, leading to registration of 65 cases, reported The Dawn….
Jaladhi says
You think Pakistan and Muslims will be ashamed of such despicable acts? Don’t bet on it! Nothing shames them – when allah tells them to do it, everything goes. If anything they feel proud of such horrible acts.
mortimer says
There may be more honor killings disguised as ‘SUICIDES’ or ‘ACCIDENTS’ … such as kitchen fires with kerosene.
Two Pakistani police officers discovered an honor-killed woman with ten knives in her back. One said to the other, ‘That’s the worst case of suicide I ever saw.’ (sarc/off)

Grimly spot on, Mortimer.
Angela says
Islam beats/destroys and kills the humanity of the people born into it – children brought up in the horror and violence of this death cult have their sensibilities and empathy and everything that makes us human beings torn/ripped/raped/beaten and tortured from them so there is nothing else left but an empty vessel engineered to kill and destroy without mercy or feeling.
Infidel says
So they kill off ‘errant’ Muslim women, but then do what they can to entice Christian and Hindu women into joining them?
Pedophilia and rape are probably the only reasons that Muslim countries haven’t seen a population implosion

“The United States has poured billions of
dollars into Pakistan’s counterterrorism efforts…
Much of the money went to buy conventional
military equipment for the constant struggle
with India, and thus did little to help
Pakistan to fight Al Qaeda or other jihadists.
Corrupt officials siphoned off much of the
aid, and the money did not significantly
improve Pakistan’s ability to fight terrorism.”

PERSONAL COMMENT:
Expecting Pakistan to fight against Islamic
terrorism is like expecting the KKK to fight
for the civil rights of African-Americans.
Expecting Pakistan to fight against Islamic
terrorism is like expecting neo-Nazis to fight
for the civil rights of Jews.
Expecting Pakistan to fight against Islamic
terrorism is irrational and illogical and foolish.

The US has cut aid to Pakistan. Every other Western nation should do the same. They are no allies of ours.

The Islamic terror state repaid us by

Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars

Dear Robert sir pls put a message about Imran Khan gloating about continuing his jihad against India for pleasing Allah which he mentioned in a speech immediately after returning to Pakistan in the airport with thunderous applause from fellow muslims
Infidel says
Apparently, you missed this story

Yes I guess I missed it sorry about that

Venkat, there have been several stories here on Pakistan threatening India. Here are two:
“Pakistan’s Imran Khan: ‘People will rise against India, not just Indian Muslims, there are 1.25 billion Muslims’”

Venkat says
Believe me I wish I was a contributor too to jihad watch as a editor becos i do know what goes on in places like India where I live. I Also I’m not against patriotic Muslims. In India we glorify them as our Hero’s say Dr. Abdul kalaam who became a president under BJP rule. Not that Hindus r totally innocent either becos there have been occasions when some Hindu barbarians have killed Muslims are for selling beaf r whatever which is unacceptable to me but India is a vast country with a large population and we r r relatively tolerant than most developed nations. I do hate Islam but I ud never hate muslims becos we have so many of them
Venkat says
Sorry for typos and grammatical mistajes
Venkat says
I feel bad when Hindus abuse Muslims of Pakistan in turn directly alienating Indian Muslims who by and large stood with India especially in social medias
gravenimage says
Venkat, you are mistaken in believing that Hindus in Pakistan are abusing Muslims. In fact, Hindus are a tiny persecuted minority there.
Infidel says
I think he was talking about Indian Hindus abusing Paki Muslims. But Indian Hindus typically conflate Pakistani and Muslim, believing that Indian Muslims often have dual loyalties at best, and open hostility at worst. Which is statistically a valid assumption, even if individual mileages may vary
gravenimage says
You may be right, Infidel. But given the jihad hatred of Pakistani Muslims for Indians in general and Indian Hindus in particular, I cannon blame Hindus for looking at Pakistani Muslims askance.
somehistory says
Murder given an “honorable” title is still murder. moslims have “no natural affection” and behave as the demons, from whom they sprang, behave.
There is no love in islam; only lust, for killing and for raping and hating. This is because it comes directly from satan the devil and he can give only what he possesses. moslims are full of his traits.
Walter Sieruk says
One of the many heinous and hate-filled murderous plagues of Islam’s misogyny what is called “honor killing.”
Islamic “culture” is not actually a real culture but cruel savage primitive murderous system of brutal religious vicious violence. As seen in that malicious murder “custom” called “honor killing.”
Be that vicious murderous action take place in Pakistan,Saudi Arabia Iran or in any other country .
About the topic of Islamic violence which, something, takes the form of the brutal cruel vicious and murderous action that is so inappropriately y 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 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!
Walter Sieruk says
Of Islam’s many heinous fruits of its brutal and cruel misogyny is the practice the heartless murdering action that is called “honor killing.”
As for the brutal ,cruel vicious and murderous actions of Islamic misogyny which is so inappropriately called “honor killing.”
This heinously heartless and wicked misogynists Islamic tradition reaches such n demonic extent of evil and madness that in number of Muslim nations ,as Pakistan and Afghanistan
This Islamic custom of so very evil that 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.]

Jeremy Corbyn is so vocal regarding the Failistinians. Ye because the Labour Party has a muslim/pakistani block vote for his party he is silent on the issues regarding Pakistan/heritage/illegal immigrant crimes against humanity.
