Once again, 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.”
An update on this story. “Confession: honor killing of a mother of three in Vienna,” translated from “Geständnis: Ehrenmord an dreifacher Mutter in Wien,” Kronen Zeitung, July 14, 2023 (thanks to Medforth):
He killed the love of his life, the mother of his three children. Adil S. (name changed), a Syrian who had just moved to his family in Vienna at the Brunnenmarkt in Ottakring three weeks ago. The supposed family happiness did not last long.
His partner quickly revealed to him: “I just don’t love you anymore.” This open rejection of his attractive wife was too much for the 35-year-old – and meant the death sentence for her!
The 35-year-old now described what happened after that in the intensive care unit of the Vienna General Hospital to his defense attorney and the murder investigators from the LKA Vienna during the first interrogation. Completely emotionless, he is said to have talked about how he executed the 28-year-old with 30 stab wounds. His only question was: “Is she really dead?” Why he killed her, he formulated crystal clear: “I had to restore my honor!”
Adil S. himself is in the Vienna General Hospital because he threw himself out of the window on the 3rd floor of the apartment after the bloody act to take his own life. “He is currently paraplegic,” says his defender Manfred Arbacher-Stöger. But there are chances of recovery in the coming months. Cost of his hospital bed (without treatments): 9000 euros per day. The suspected murderer has been in the hospital bed for two weeks and will be treated for another two weeks. Results in: 252,000 euros!
A second suicide attempt by the Syrian shows that his life is obviously just as worthless to him as that of his children’s mother: After waking up from the coma, he bit through the intubation tube for his ventilation – in vain.

“Islamic culture “ is so very savage cruel ,brutal vicious and murderous that it’s not really a genuine culture.”
As observed in that malicious and brutal cruel murderous action that is unfittingly called “honor killing” is an affront to all that is actually just, good, humane and right.
To put this in another way, Islamic “culture” is not actually a real culture but cruel savage primitive murderous system of brutal religious vicious violence. As seen in that malicious murder “custom” called “honor killing” which is permitted under Sharia law.
Be that vicious murderous action take place in Afghanistan and Pakistan, in any other Islamic country and now even some Western nations.
About the topic of Islamic violence which, something, takes the form of the brutal cruel vicious and murderous action that is so inappropriately called “honor killing.” This malicious misogyny is so heinous callous and malice- filled that it’s an affront to all that is good, decent and right. In addition, the author, Brigitte Gabriel in her book which is entitled THEY MUST BE STOPPED on pages 171,172 , that “The shocking reality is that most Muslim men ,including those educated in the West ,have no objection to the degradation of women in their countries .Across the Muslim world, even in moderate Islamic countries, women’s’ rights are almost nonexistent…Women is Islam are considered unclean ,deemed inferior even to dirt.” In this just cited book it explains on page 176 that “Honor killings have also come to the West thanks to the rise of Islamic immigration. “
Indeed, they must be stopped !

It is time to turn them out and make them go back whence they came, The UK is almost to its end and become islamic. This is sickening because you can tell that they will destroy all they can and kill all they can to make the place like the pitiful and dead lands in islamic countries.
All the men will kill -they will put on an act and then as if under the spell of “HONOR KILL”they let go and become barbaric . They know no shame or manners what so ever. Hate and kill is their way.

Sharia in Muslim countries is has spread into Western nations, as Austria, with it’s terrible oppressive harmful and murderous outcomes ,on both girls and young women because Sharia upholds the brutal cruel murdering Islamic practice which is very inappropriately called in the Islamic world “honor killing.”
That savage cruel and murderous action of ”honor killing “ is upheld by Sharia About the actual origin of Islamic law [sharia]. It should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia law is revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995. The point is this history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
There is the above and other references imply that such pagan teachings were incorporated into the religion that Muhammad manufactured and then started.
Thus this further reveals that a lot of ancient paganism is part of the whole religion of Islam.
In other words, ancient paganism makes up much of Islam. Therefore Islam with its Sharia are a hoax .

Regarding the evil brutal cruel and murderous Muslim action which they so very inappropriately call “honor killing. It’s unjust , unfair and an affront to real justice and completely outrageous to punish the innocent victim, in any way, let alone by death , who was raped and not the rapist , who is indeed the guilt ,evil and vile criminal. Well openly claim, at least in lip service, to respect the Bible. So in the Bible in Proverbs 17:15 it reveals “Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent – the Lord detest them both.” [N.I.V.]
Walter Sieruk says
“Islamic culture “ is so very savage cruel ,brutal vicious and murderous that it’s not really an actual, genuine, culture.” But a result of a primitive deadly religion.
That brutal, callous cruel, malice-filled and murderous Islamic tradition that so very inappropriately called “honor killing” by many Muslims in one of the many malicious and vicious deadly fruits of Islam.
Jesus taught, “By their fruits you will recognize them” Matthew 7:20. [N.I.V.]

If he wants to croak, let him. He forfeited his life when he took the life of his wife.
“the love of his life” was clearly not his wife. mozlums don’t know love. mozlums are taught to be selfish, demanding and to take out any frustrations on the female members of the family.
In the practice of hara-kiri, the one who feels he has ‘lost face” kills himself.
mozlums who believe they have lost face, murder others. Because she didn’t love him and expressed it verbally, he showed just how much he didn’t love her and expressed it violently.
the poor kids. Children of mozlums don’t have many good life prospects.
Ralph says
A Muslim’s concept of honor obviously is as flawed as all their other beliefs. Marry a 9 year old? Murder your family? Cheat, lie and steal? All sanctioned by the Koran. And we have fools telling us, “Islam is a religion of peace”. No, Islam is a theo-political construct of primitive losers.
