In the Qur’an, a mysterious figure, known as Khidr in Islamic tradition, 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.” In Iran, according to the New York Times, the legal system “treats parents who murder their children with relative leniency, as the maximum sentence for the crime is only ten years.”
“Man shoots and kills two sisters for ‘honour’ in Mianwali: police,” Geo News, September 10, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A man shot and killed his two sisters in a suspected honour killing case in Mianwali, Geo News reported, citing police officials, on Friday….
According to the police, the murder took place in the Tariqabad neighborhood of Paplan city, where a young man named Raheel Sheikh shot and killed his two sisters in the name of “honour”.
According to sources, the two sisters were married and had come to their parents place and were angry at their in-laws.
The suspect flee the scene after the murder, police said, adding that raids were being carried out to arrest him.
Westman says
“..the two sisters were married..” Same time, same place, same justification. Same husband?

One of the few things a Muslam male is not supposed to do is to marry two sisters.
I imagine this thug just thought it was Islamically wrong for this sisters to be angry at their husband or his relatives for any reason whatsover–so he murdered them.
It is also common in the Muslim world for the husband’s relatives to mistreat all women who marry into the family.
Elric says
In backward 3rd world countries like Pakistan, girls are seen as a burden.
Once they’ve been ‘sold off’, they are then their husbands responsibility [There’s been more than a few cases in places like Pakistan, Bangladesh and India where the husband returns his bride to her family who refuse her. When the husband threatens to set his bride on fire the family says “She’s yours to do as you please”. They then watch their daughter/sister burn to death without offering assistance.]
With that in mind it’s more likely that the brother resented having to feed and provide for his sisters who he no longer considered to be his families responsibility.
These people really are that backward and evil.
Mateen says
According to the Qur’an (4.23), a man is prohibited from being married to two sisters at the same time.

True, Mateen.

I wonder if the Muslim women holding up those signs calling for women to be treated better ever realise that women will never be treated better while they remain members of islam. The whole evil, barbaric and very misogynistic thing called Islam has to be torn down before there can be any improvement in women’s rights. I suppose some of them might realise this, but if anyone tries to leave islam then they are likely to be murdered by the monsters who inhabit that religious ideology.

So true.
somehistory says
Why was it his “honor” that was in doubt because his sisters were angry with their in-laws? Was he the one who helped arrange that his sisters would marry the sons of those with whom they were angry? mozlums who take the filth seriously, have no “honor.”
mozlums are such a mixed-up bunch, and murder comes so easily to them. They don’t need a real reason to take the lives of others.
These evil acts make satan so gleeful.

Somehistory, women in Islam are not supposed to be “ungrateful” towards their husbands for any reason–and this extends to their families.
somehistory says
Yes, g, I know. When I ask a question, I usually don’t need anyone to actually believe that I am wanting someone to **explain** the evil stupidity to me.
The fact that it was not really his direct business….the sane person would not believe that it was affecting his “honor,” and the real thing is….mozlums lust to commit rape and murder. That was his “reason.”
islam is from satan. That is all I need to know about it.

You live in a nation with no women’s rights and Sharia law, which allows Muslim men to slaughter their wives and daughters or other females and get off with a slap on the wrist. These ‘laws’ came down from their God, why would anyone change or challenge them? In fact they’ve killed people who’ve tried.
Islam is a black hole of pure evil, all your so-called rights get sucked away forever once you join or are born into that death cult. The only places that will give you rights are nations that already believe in them. The only escape is suicide or to save up money and leave them for freedom loving nations.
Muslim women demanding rights in Islamic states are like chickens in a meat processing plant demanding not to be slaughtered. Cluck all you want, it’ll never change until free nations decide to exterminate Islam worldwide once and for all.
Change will never come from within Islam countries until there are large Christian, Atheist or other non-Muslim populations who are willing to go to war with Muslims to take their country back.
Billy Chickens says
Excellent comment and I agree 100%.
Fitna says
Thank Billy glad we agree.
We in the West have been deprogramming ourselves not to hate the “other.” And that’s fine if the other has values similar to our own. Most religions/ideologies teach people to generally leave in peace with those not in your belief system, except Islam.
Now we need to re-learn to hate Islam and Muslims because they hate us and seek to end our freedom and way of life. While western nations are still going in the wrong direction I’m hopeful in time we’ll reach a critical mass of people that hate Muslims and then we’ll work to remove them from our lands.
Ofc there are some Muslims that are fairly harmless so I don’t advocate harsh treatment towards innocents. We’ll need a vetting process and give peaceful Muslims the option to stay only if they leave Islam and convert to any other belief system. The rest must be deported. Only until 2/3rd of the population think this way will we finally be able to take action.
Fred van de Bunt says
There is a distinct difference about the definition of “honour” in the rest of the world, and the sharia law Islam.
Any man, also Islam men, I have spoken enough with those men, would define “honour” as protecting their mothers, sisters and wives, that is protecting their right to live, and be women, in their full potential. They are like us men humans, intelligent and labouring, but also the creators of our future, the creators of our children.
For men “honour” means defending our women, defending our future.
“Honour” does not mean to harm women, because some stone age ideology obliges men to harm women.
