If they were alone together, they had illicit relations. For the likes of Mohammad Shoaib, that’s a given.
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.”
“Girl, boy killed for ‘honour,’” The News International, May 31, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
MANSEHRA: A young girl and boy were killed in the Taraki area of Pulrah in the early hours of Tuesday, police officials said. According to the FIR lodged with the Pulrah Police Station, the 15-year-old girl and the 15-year-old boy were present at the home of Gul Shahzad. A family member, Mohammad Shoaib, got infuriated after he saw both of them in a single room and attacked them with batons, leaving both of them dead on the spot.
“The boy, 15, and a girl, 15, were killed with batons and we took both bodies in our possession to complete the medico-legal formalities. The boy had come to meet the 15-year-old girl at her home,” Raja Sajid, the SHO of Pulrah Police Station, told reporters.
Sajid said that the alleged perpetrator, who was also arrested later in the day, was the paternal cousin of the slain girl….The police after lodging an FIR under sections 302 and 311 of Ppc started an investigation in the double murder case….
Hoi Polloi says
Alternate explanation, the form for which fits every one of these slaughters: muslim rapes 15-year-old girl and 15-year-old boy, slaughters them to prevent dissemination of said truth, then claims he was honor-bound to slaughter them.
MD Anthony says
It’s not just they were alone together. In Islam marriage for love id Haram. Actual love has to be kept secret, if found out it is justification to have you killed.
Hoi Polloi says
Just to be clear, I have no idea what precipitated the slaughters. I am aware that those such as this slaughterer will claim to have a legitimate basis for such slaughters, but I refuse to take the word of such a savage as to his excuse.
Islam allows him to act and claim legitimacy in cases such as this one.

2023 and yet there are some knuckle draggers, totally inhuman monsters and leftovers from man’s primitive past, which islam basically is, who can act in this way. islam is a load of barbaric and primitive garbage. Imagine thinking that murdering these young people is the right punishment for being in a room together. How unbelievably sick islam is
Hide says
That’s very very true, what you say.
And to think of it the United Kingdom gives Pakistan millions of pounds no more. Pakistan is the most evilest country in the world.
tim gallagher says
Hide, Pakistan seems like a completely barbaric country full of vicious, hardline Muslims. I didn’t know that the UK gives so much money to country. Such an evil country, the country where all those rape gang members in the UK came from, should receive no aid whatsoever. To my mind, islam is a sick ideology which produces endless evil monsters. It should have died out ages ago and should not be still poisoning human life in 2023.
