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.

The most savage Muslims are the True Believers, like this monster in human form. They’re the ones who get their toxic religion right. We need to remember that fact, whenever defenders of Islam point out that not all Muslims behave in this way.
It’s not all Muslims — just the best ones.

They follow the koran , they are moslim , and so they follow the koran , which is insidious in its instructions ! Therefore , they believe they are good moslims , Free to commit mayhem against anyone , even their own family , just evil !

Yep. Islam does not belong in the civilized world. It’s like cholera-laced sh*t in your drinking water — any amount is too much. We need to create a Muslim-free West.

His sister fell in love? Didn’t she realize that love has no place in Islam?
Basic human love and compassion are totally absent within Islam and this is one of the reasons that killing women for “honor” is condoned.
Come to think about it. These scum have no idea what honor is nor how to behave in an honorable way.
