“Violence against women is common in Iraqi Kurdistan, despite government promises to prevent it.”
Why is that? A culture of violence, the foundational text of which commands men to beat women from whom they “fear disobedience” (Qur’an 4:34), is going to give rise to this sort of thing. In the Qur’an also is the strange story of a mysterious figure, known as Khidr in Islamic tradition, who kills a boy in an apparently random and gratuitous attack. He then explains: “And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief. So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.” (18:80-81)
And according to Islamic law, “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.” (Reliance of the Traveller o1.1-2).
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.

Honor killing… Muslim murders his two daughters, hides bodies
There’s nothing “honorable” about an “honor killing.” It’s a murderous, disreputable act for which there can be no moral or legal defense. It’s plain old murder. But islamic teachings are the primer that sets the tone for how muslims act toward others. We see how their bigoted and hateful religion influences them in practically every area of life. These so-called honor killings are only one facet of that monolithic mountain of evil that islam truly is. It saddens me to see so many people, usually young ones, getting murdered for that demon religion. It’s the kind of behavior you’d expect from someone who is truly demon possessed, that is, killing your own loved ones for a “religion of peace.” Islam can’t even manage to stay consistent within its own paradigm of skewed morality, it’s more like a confused schizophrenic that severs its right hand for what the left hand does. But this is what you get when you model your life on the “morality” of 2 killer psychos like muhammad and allah. Muslims would do far better to worship me. I don’t rape kids, I give charitably, I don’t kill, or rob, hell, I don’t even drink booze anymore or smoke. And if you don’t want to worship me then I won’t kill or persecute you, either. In fact, I am publicly declaring right here and now that I am better, wiser, more loving, more considerate, than the god of the muslims. This is no braggadocio boast, I’m simply stating an obvious truth.
So if any muslims out there want a better god, one that will be a superior guide than allah, then you are welcome to worship me as you see fit. You can even draw a picture of me and I won’t ask others to kill you for it. That’s how wise and loving I am! See, you learned something already! No go my child, and sin no more for islam. 🙂
J Morgan says
Islam is deathly dangerous and cruel to women and girls. Islamic women apologists in the west should be ashamed of their complicity in crimes like this one.
Jerome B Bigge says
A woman is better off living under Putin’s Russia than under Islam. There is something “worse” than Communism, Socialism, etc. That is Islam. The most evil ideology ever created in history.

“Muslim murders his two daughters, hides bodies”
Nature and Nature’s laws.
That he hid the bodies is demonstrative that even this Muzzie knows one of Nature’s law is not to kill another human.
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says

That’s right, you and I know murder is wrong, but the muslim god–the omnipotent source of all knowlege, wisdom, and love–doesn’t even possess the kindness of a mediocre human. And this is what muslims base their culture and supreme guide for living on, the teachings of a morally retarded god and psychophathic killer warlord. But it’s a “religion of peace.” Good grief.
Jerome B Bigge says
A “religion of peace”? Sounds like something out of George Orwell’s “1984”.

“Nature and Nature’s laws lay hid in night:
God said, Let Newton be! and all was light.”
“It could not last; the devil, howling “Ho,
Let” Islam “be !”, restored the status quo.“

Emilie, I think he was more concerned about facing some temporal consequences than his actually believing that this this atrocity is wrong.
MykeJohn says
EG. you are right but why do they do it any way? Since it is allah who constrained them to do it why then hide the BODIES after the sordid deeds?
Walter Sieruk says
Islam, what a brutal bloody religion of malicious murderous misogyny is ,truly is.
The callous ,cruel malice-filled action of cold blooded murder that so many Muslims very inappropriately call “honor killing” is the result of the misogynistic essence of Islam.
Jesus taught ‘By their fruits you will recognize them.” Matthew 7:20. [N.I.V.]
Walter Sieruk says
This report is harsh reminder, again, of the outstanding difference between a Christian father and a Muslim father who had daughters disappoint him.
If a Christian father is disappointed by his daughter ,he prays for them. If he become harsh he might even shun them.
By contrast ,if Muslim father is disappointed by his daughters he murder them.
The distinction between the Christian who is a father and the Muslim who is a father is clear and obvious.

If they will kill their own children, what won’t they do?

The ISLAMIC Republic of PAKISTAN (aka ‘Pornistan’) is still the unchallenged WORLD LEADER of honor killings.

Antiislamicman says
See how much hate Islam can generate in a human being. Any opinions on this lefties.
He was just following his Koran and that’s the dangerous thing.
Walter Sieruk says
That murderous man was only a biological father of his daughters , that vicious monster wasn’t a real father ,in spirit , to his daughter, this he had proven this his malicious heartless slaughter of his daughters.
He may call his evil action an “honor killing” but that doesn’t change the fact that he committed two heinously wicked actions of cold blooded murder.
That murderer if he actually feels that he did the “right thing” killing his helpless daughters then that expose his religion ,which is Islam,has so demonically infected and infested his mind ,thoughts and “values” if that word may used in a extremely Islamic idea of the word values”
To put this another way if he really thinks that he “in the right ” when he committed those murders ,this exposes the demonic delusional influence this false religion can have on some its followers. So much so that Said views his evil actions as something that is “good”
It is written “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil…” in the Bible, Isaiah 5:20. [N.K.J.V.]

That heinously evil, brutal vicious violent and murderous Islamic tradition which is so very inappropriately called,,in the Muslim world, called “honor killing.”
The very term for that wicked monstrous affront all that is good decent and right is absurd.
For calling such a heinous abomination of wicked action an “honor killing” is just like scrapping off the label o fa jar of cyanide that reads “Danger Poison” and replacing it with another label that reads “Apple Juice.”
Changing the label of the jar doesn’t ,in any way, change , the dangerous and deadly substance contained in that jar.
Likewise ,calling a brutal cruel vicious malicious action of evil by the better sounding term doesn’t change that it’s totally evil
OLD GUY says
Ladies this is the “religion” of LOVE, and non-equal rights for women and girls.
Where is your outrage over the HONOR KILLING of these two young ladies. Islam allows these men to beat and kill their wives and daughters with almost no consequence.
Yet I hear nothing from the leadership of the women rights groups condemning ISLAM for their abuse and murder of women.
It appears that the women rights groups only care about a women’s right to abort a child, or a women getting paid less than a male co-worker.
Why keep giving ISLAM a pass on human rights issues?
Jerome B Bigge says
I’d love to see how people like AOC and her ilk would reply to this. Proof if any is needed that life under Islam for a woman is far worse than life for a woman in Russia or China (maybe even North Korea).

Friking animals could only kill two gorgeous girls, unspeakable crime and very sad story..
Giacomo Latta says
Even the ugly ones have a right to live. Not to diminish the role of Islam in this disgusting matter but there is also a Middle Eastern custom, perhaps based in Islam, that makes the first-born male of a family the only male of consequence in the family. To almost deify one human being for reasons other than some kind of well-earned merit is destructive for all involved.
Giacomo Latta says
P. S. Believing in one god or another is not a proof of merit.
