The parents were apparently arrested, but they’re not likely to experience much trouble. 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.
“Parents mercilessly stone their daughter , 10 in “honor killing” in rural Pakistan,” Idaho Reporter, December 7, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
In yet another mindless act of what appears to be “honor killing”, parents stoned to death their 10-year-old girl, Gul Sama. This happened in the Sindh province in Pakistan on November 21st or 22nd, yet to be confirmed by local police.
News of the murder was spread on social media which lead police to arrest the girl’s parents. It was reported that the stoning had been so brutal that her head and face could not be recognised.
Although her parents claimed that she had died in a landslide, the evidence shows that she was executed in an “shame killing” because she had started a relationship and was about to escape the home with her boyfriend. So, instead of grounding her they decided to stone her to death.
Two other people from the village were also arrested: the Imam who lead the funeral prayer as well as a man who played a part in her burial….
CogitoErgoSum says
But if the little girl’s boyfriend had a been a Muslim man over the age of 50 everything most likely would have been fine and this would not be in the news..

any bets they just get a slap on the wrist for this horrific act?
Frank Anderson says
9 years, old enough to marry. 10 old enough to stone to death. Disgusting.
gravenimage says
So true, Frank.
mortimer says
A great crime and a very cruel one. Islam is steeped in sadism and narcissism … a deadly combination.
Rachel J Smith says
Actually, in Islam a man can marry a girl as young as 6. He just can’t consummate the marriage until she’s 9, per the teachings of Mohammed. And, you can stone any child over the age of 6 if they have dishonored the family. Making it even more disgusting.
Frank Anderson says
RJS, I have read about the marriage of Aisha at age 6. Thank you for the additional information.

Pakistan: Muslim parents stone daughter, 10, to death in honor killing, imam also arrested
…………….
A *ten year old child*. I doubt this “relationship” was anything other than a friendship–and God knows she had good reason to want to flee her home–I doubt that the abuse started with her stoning. Poor little thing.
God, I hate Islam.
jap says
“Honor killing” what an oxymoron!
The old concept for an eye for an eye etc comes to mind.
Paul J says
Yeah, how can it be an “honour” killing when they have no honour to begin with.
R S says
Except that it is nothing like an eye for an eye.
Becky Sue says
I agree w/U
Natalie says
I think Jap was referring to the punishment that the parents should face….thwy should be brutally stoned to death.

That 10 year old girl was in a relationship and was going to leave home with him?
CogitoErgoSum says
A big part of the story is missing. What about this boyfriend? Could it be that he really was a much older Muslim man and the little girl did NOT want to go with him? My guess is that the truth is much, much more shameful for the parents than they want to admit.
Battle says
CigitoErgoSum: +100
PRCS says
Good point.
StacyGirl says
Answer: the child was raped by her father or male relative. Lather, rinse, repeat in dar al-Islam.
Frank Anderson says
If further coverage is needed on the routine brutality and abuse practiced on children, see MD Wafa Sultan’s book A God Who Hates, about her work in Syria. How many reports have been shown on television showing 3 year old suicide bombers dressed by their parents in “Palestine”? Talk about teaching them well?

As with all others who strive to get blind people to see what they refuse to see, I pray for many blessings. Her book is as difficult a story to read as I have ever seen. God was with me even when I thought I was not with Him.

Wafa Sultan is a very brave woman.
Frank Anderson says
GI, WE AGREE about her and any other who dares to leave and speak the truth. Protecting them and encouraging others to join is the best hope for the future.
Dawne says
That’s what I thought? As others say I think that it’s probable that she was being forced into marriage with a much older man, refused to go and so was stoned. Shameful murder of a child. How could any parents do this?
revereridesagain says
Where are the posturing pop starlets caterwauling about the alleged horrible treatment of women in the West? Has anyone ever heard ONE of these narcissists raise her voice in defense of the millions of women and girls abused, tortured, enslaved and murdered by Muslims? Not a chance — their Twitter feeds would blow up with screams of “racist!” and “phobe!”, even if one of them did care enough to challenge the free pass given to Islam.

Similar atrocities are expected by the God of Leviticus and if they happen, they will not be in His name but may contain a trace of His spirit. Something about virginity, daughters and parents has been “problematic” in Western history.
CogitoErgoSum says
Until Jesus came along.
Westman says
Jesus was the reformation that Islam never had. The God of Leviticus received an education on the reality of living as a human. Jesus himself declared that the time of an eye for an eye was over.
There was an attempted Islam reformation, Baha’i, but it is still persecuted by mainstream Islam.
Frank Anderson says
I think that a conversation with a Rabbi, even an Orthodox Rabbi, might show changes in Jewish teaching over 3700 years. There were many changes before the time of Jesus, and many more later. A comparison of the teachings of Reform Judaism, which originated in the early 1800’s with Christianity’s teachings will show many common rules.
CogitoErgoSum says
Frank, apparently stoning people for certain sins was something still being practiced during the time of Jesus … even though only the Romans were supposed to carry out any executions in lands ruled by the Romans. I wonder if what Jesus scribbled in the dirt when the men were about to stone the adulteress might have been “SPQR” to remind those people that they were about to commit a crime against the Roman empire if they killed the woman.
Frank Anderson says
CES I do not write that in one step original harsh rules were reformed. It’s been a long time since anyone was stoned by Jews. There has not been a sacrificial altar or a priest, high or otherwise, anywhere in the whole world since the destruction of The Temple in 70 CE/AD.
One of the areas of study in the Five years after a Bachelor’s degree that it takes to be ordained a Rabbi, includes much more detailed knowledge of the changes and progress than I know from my less intense study of most of my life.
Two great books could help: What is a Jew, and Jews God and History. But reading them and the complete “Old Testament” gives a start for a most pleasant conversation with a Rabbi. Remember the contrast between the koran and Bible. The koran is scrambled, longest chapter first. The Bible, “Old” and “New”, is not scrambled, and appears in a reasonable order of development.
Jews continue to study, think and reform as they have for 3700 years in order to survive and prosper. Not all Jews, but enough to continue. Is that not better than a criminal conspiracy masquerading as a religion that prohibits all change or reform? Some Jews consider Jesus the first “well-known” Reform Jewish Rabbi, about 1800 years before the Reform movement started.
Notice that whenever the word Reform is written here, there is no “ed” because the process of examination is never ended. Please consider taking the suggestion to learn more. Having taken the same step almost 30 years ago, I have never been disappointed by what I learned.
Frank Anderson says
CES, I apologize for having an additional suggestion to my earlier comment. When speaking to Rabbis is it probably a good idea to focus on the question, “How has Judaism changed in 3700 years?” I cannot imagine a hostile reception to that inquiry.
A problem can arise if the subject of islam comes into the conversation in US congregations. Raising that question probably cost me my welcome. “There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.”
I regret the loss. I treasure what I learned in the company of Jews, and deeply honor the friends who inspired me along the way. Life goes on.
shoshi was says
Thank you Frank for your comments on this matter. Many of the teachings of Christianity come directly from Judaism, a point which is sometimes forgotten not only by Christians, but unfortunately by Jews who aren’t fully aware of the teachings of our own religion. We often get hammered for these stories in the Torah. I was taught that many of these are allegories that help us to reflect on our own lives and learn from them. As you say, the Rabbis continually interpret and reinterpret them and we who study them do as well. Many thanks!
Frank Anderson says
I was over 40 years old when I first visited a Reform congregation. All I thought I knew about Judaism was in great error. I spent 23 years learning, at which time I dared to ask why islam is not recognized as a terminal promise to Jews (NOT a Threat-A PROMISE). That is when my welcome ended; and I moved on.
Jesus was, whatever else people believe he was, if he lived, an observant Orthodox Jew. There was no Reform or Conservative, no Hasidic, only standard Orthodox Jews. There were Sadducees, Pharisees and Essenes, but they were within standard Judaism. There are no records from the time he is believed to have lived. We take his life and meaning on faith. What has been taught to Christians about Jews is just not true, then or now. I follow the person Jesus as I understand him and his teaching. God gives us minds and expects us to use them. I believe, with the vast number and awesome nature of my errors, I am living proof that God forgives our errors. I am still trying to improve to show my gratitude for the Grace I receive daily.
My favorite example of a harsh rule that has never in 3700 years been followed is Deut 23:2, which is translated in the King James version, “A bastard shall not be a member of the congregation, nor shall his children to the tenth generation.” 1) That contradicts 24:16 which says, “The father shall not be punished for the sins of the son, nor shall the son be punished for the sins of the father.” 2) The Hebrew word “mamser” is translated incorrectly as bastard. A mamser is a child resulting from adultery or incest between 2 Jews, and nothing else. Ordinary accidents of birth are not mamsers. 3) At no time in 3700 years in the Bible or not, has any child ever been excluded (put to “civil death”) because of the circumstances of his birth. I did not think I could be Jewish until my Rabbi explained that.
shoshi was says
First of all, we don’t know that these things were enforced. Secondly, the G-d of Leviticus (19:9-18), among other things, advised the new Israelites to ‘Love thy neighbor as thyself’. (Toav section of the book). This type of behavior is not part of the practice of Judaism if it ever was.
Jaladhi says
You know well what makes these people soooo.. disgusting. There are no words to adequately describe them. They follow an evil creed and become evil beyond imagination without an ounce of humanity in them!! When will they stop following this cult and bring peace and joy to human beings??
CogitoErgoSum says
A religion started by a man whose first thought is to commit suicide because of the terrifying nature of his encounter with the supernatural is not one that is going to bring peace and joy to mankind … ever.
Nona says
No love whatsoever. No compassion or mercy.
Truly, islamic men absolutely HATE women! Unfortunately. they’ve brainwashed their own women.
Quazgaa says
There’s something weird in this story, she was 10 but she wanted to run away with her boyfriend???
Paul J says
More likely she was running away from the 50 year old husband her parents had lined up for her. As a consequence she had “shamed” her parents and was therefore stoned to restore their socalled honour. That seems more like it to me.
Spiro says
Your probably correct
Islam is based on lying to further their cause so this story is most likely their version of truth for the kifar
mortimer says
Pakistan has a retrograde, arch-conservative advisory panel of Sharia experts that instructs Pakistan’s legislators. They say, ‘The Council of Islamic Ideology is a constitutional body that advises the legislature whether or not a certain law is repugnant to Islam, namely to the Qur’an and Sunna.’
The Council of Islamic Ideology has consistently failed to promote legislation to curb honor killing. To do nothing is to consent to honor killing.
Deanne says
There is NO HONOR in killing your own child!!!!
Children look to their parents for LOVE , PROTECTION & a sense of safety. I can’t imagine the fear, sadness and confusing as this little girl is denied all 3 feeling so alone and unloved in her last moments
AP says
How horrible, Parents of a 10 yr old girl stone her to death. I hope they rot in hell, along with every other stinking dog that was involved.
I hate islam.
IanB says
I cannot begin to imagine the thoughts and emotions of that young child before and during this terrifying ordeal. The barbarism of Islam needs to be constantly exposed. Thank you Robert Spencer for your tireless efforts in doing this.
4dmin says
LOL , there’s no any Qur’anic verses in this post of yours . . . i think their act was inspired from Bible . . .
Kirk says
Bible inspired? Are you on meth?
SKA says
It occurred to me that the “honor killing” of children is akin to the child sacrifices to Moloch and Chemosh.
Spiro says
and Islam is akin to the Babylon moon God religion
Look at the top of a mosque
There’s a crescent moon
Anne says
The filthy, lying belief system called Islam has so perverted peoples’ minds that they achieve “honor” by stoning a child’s head into an unrecognizable bloody pulp. And to think it is women in this system who raise the men who perpetuate it and in turn persecute them as inferior. Illogical? Insane? Primitive? All of those and worse…
elee says
Hey folks the same people who prescribed this horror get to open schools and spread their poison in our countries Do you want them sitting nexxt to your daughter in school? Hey libberss where is your outrage? Do you really want this to be viewed as just a different culture, not wrong or right, all value-neutral and politically correct and diverse and all? Stoning ten-year-old girls? Really? Move to Pakistan and go savor the diversity there. ove to 0
Silvia says
Let me tell you what REALLY happened. That poor child was RAPED by her father/brothers/uncle/cousin/the local mulla/neighbour and this is what they do – murder their child as if she were a bug.
May they all burn in hell.
tim gallagher says
This action by these loathsome Muslims is so staggeringly evil that I truly cannot believe that any human being could not be aware of how evil an act they are carrying out. Islam is such an evil and barbaric ideology. It is beyond belief how evil Islam is when you read about actions such as this and many other sadistic actions that islam condones (many of the atrocities carried out by ISIS being examples). It really is a bent and twisted and completely upside down type of morality. These Muslims actually think doing barbaric acts such as this is being virtuous!!! So f*cking evil. I guess some religions way back in time resembled this and sacrificed their children to some vile version of what god is. I still feel that these brainwashed Muslims must have some sense that what they are doing is evil. Islam is such a sick ideology in so many ways.
Kirk says
You should read the Quran if you want insight. They worship Allah who they say “Was the best deceiver” quite unlike Yaweh represented as truth and light. The deceiver to us is an evil bloodthirsty Satan Whereas Allah calls for the blood of infidels. Death by the sword with a body count of 100 million since Muhammad So you see instead of turning the other cheek we see extreme violence.rending Islam incompatible with any other culture. Kill the infidel (non Muslim)
Kirk says
and I see honor killing as Satanic
Frank Anderson says
Kirk, please forgive me if I am writing something you know already. Many people do not; and it almost certainly would help them understand the koran by knowing it is published deliberately in the confusing order of longest chapter first instead of the order it was written. If it were published as written, obvious changes would burst out that “final” “revelations” were changed and overridden. The standard book contains a mountain of repetition, and personal lifestyle information that is of no use to infidels who need to understand the danger islam poses to us and our lives.
About a year ago a person here by the name of Indiana Tom suggested Bill Warner’s Simple Koran and Abridged Koran. Simple Koran is the koran in order written, Abridged Koran is Simple Koran with much of the repetition and useless information deleted, to focus on the vital subject. I have not read Spencer’s work on the koran, but assume based on all I have read of his work that it is of the highest quality as a source.
The conclusion I ask to be received is that reading the koran is an exercise in futility and confusion, a total waste of time, for an infidel trying to get past the “religion of peace” lie. The God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jesus is The God of Life, Freedom, Joy and Peace. The god of islam is the god of war, conquest, death, slavery and misery. They are not the same. Allowing proclaimed liars to use more of their deception to keep us confused delays our taking the steps first needed to preserve our future.
John Allan says
Honour? Far too many Muslims wouldn’t recognise honour if it were to rear up and bite them on their collective arse.
