Last month, Jihad Watch covered the tragic murder of 10-year-old Sara Sharif. She was murdered by her own family members. Honor murder is justified in 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).
In other words, Sara’s murder is permissible from the standpoint of a classic manual of Islamic law.
It has now emerged that “the runaway father and stepmother of Sara Sharif were urged by a British solicitor to flee the country after the schoolgirl’s death.” This was according to Malik Asif Taufique, the Sharif family lawyer in Pakistan. The family quickly left for Pakistan. Why were they urged to flee? Because, according to Taufique, “they would be mistreated for being Muslims and a big scandal will be made against their faith.’”
No, they wouldn’t be “mistreated as Muslims.” They would have been treated as what they were: accused murderers. They would have been processed in the system as anyone in Britain would be. And yes, their actions as Muslims would be scrutinized outside the legal system, because of the harm they caused, and because they may have felt justified by their religion to murder their own child. Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide.
Yet the “scandal made against their faith,” in the view of adherent Muslims, is the worse crime of all.
The British lawyer who was behind their flight to Pakistan was called their “friend,” and his name was not given.
The culprits in the case are again made out to be victims, as the article goes on to explain how terrified they were of being “harshly” punished in the British system, and how they feared that they would lose custody of their remaining children.
It isn’t a harsh punishment to lose custody of your other children if you’re found to have killed one of them.
Despite the worst human rights abuses in Islam, Muslim victimhood is entrenched in the minds of far too many Muslims, and the West has bought into it, particularly leftists. Victimhood is as a common means to distract attention from those abuses committed in the name of Islam or sanctioned by its teachings. It also serves as a means to shut down criticism of Islam by branding anyone who dares to engage in such criticism as “Islamophobic.”
No matter what suffering is incurred by the real victims — even murder — the Muslim perpetrator is always the victim.
“Sara Sharif’s father and stepmother were ‘urged to flee Britain’ after her death by UK solicitor as they would be ‘mistreated for being Muslims’, their family’s Pakistani lawyer claims,” by Abul Taher, Daily Mail, September 9, 2023:
The runaway father and stepmother of Sara Sharif were urged by a British solicitor to flee the country after the schoolgirl’s death, the family’s Pakistani lawyer told The Mail on Sunday last night.
Urfan Sharif, 41, his wife Beinash Batool, 29, and his brother, Faisal Malik, 28, fled to Islamabad with the couple’s five children, aged between one and 13, in a ‘terrified’ state on August 9, the lawyer said.
The day after the family left the country, police found ten-year-old Sara’s body at the family’s home in Woking, Surrey, after being alerted by Sharif from Pakistan.
The discovery sparked an international manhunt. Police in Pakistan arrested ten members of Sharif’s extended family in their home town of Jhelum in Punjab, including Urfan Sharif’s father, brothers and cousins.
The fugitive couple released a short video last week where Batool described Sara’s death as an ‘incident’ and said the pair were willing to co-operate with British police.
Last night, Malik Asif Taufique, the Sharif family lawyer in Pakistan, told the MoS that after Sara died, the couple spoke to a British lawyer friend in a panic. The friend, who has not been identified, apparently ‘terrified’ the couple.
‘Urfan and Beinash ran from the UK because a British lawyer there made them terrified, saying they would have a harsh punishment in the UK and they would lose custody of their children,’ said Mr Taufique. ‘They would be mistreated for being Muslims and a big scandal will be made against their faith.’..
somehistory says
A “big scandal” needs to be “made against their **faith**” (it isn’t really a **faith,** as faith calls for one to *wait* on, and believing in, a Higher Power ) Everyone, everywhere, needs to become aware of the evils in islam…a cult of rape, threats, lies and murder.
the U.K. attorney was most likely another mozlum. And this “fleeing” after committing murder of a daughter is very much like the Egyptian in Texas who murdered his two daughters and fled the country to escape prosecution.
People need to know just how low mozlums will sink when they decide to carry out the ‘will’ of their false ‘god.’ while pleasuring themselves.
These scum need to face some harsh punishment. Not a slap of a year or two in prison….but some capital punishment.
bagsgroove says
Capital punishment is necessary. Islamic law states you can kill your children. Only in hell. Poor girl, even animals don’t kill their offspring.
sue l says
calm down folks—-it is possible that it was an accident or some level of neglect
and not actual murder
gravenimage says
Uh huh:
“A post-mortem examination revealed Sara had suffered “multiple and extensive” injuries which are likely to have been caused over a “sustained and extended” period of time…”

Right–they “accidentally” abused this poor child over a long period. Try again.
somehistory says
Reports have made it clear that the little child was severely abused by her step mother and her father. Her mother was worried about her, but they would not allow the mom to see her child. That is abuse; plus what they did to her…and then murdered her.
If it had been an “accident,” why flee? It was no accident and not just “neglect.” Homicide in the first degree of a child. About as bad as any crime can be.
Colin Fuller says
The child is dead at their hands, how can this not be murder? If it was an accident, why run away?
Michael Copeland says
“mistreated for being muslim” is a double misrepresentation.
English law has penalties for neglect of children, for their maltreatment and, of course, killing. Applying them is not “mistreating” anyone. The assertion that this would be “for being muslim” is a lie, and just another victimhood gambit.
somehistory says
Agreed. “mistreatment” would be letting them go free for the murder. Correct treatment is holding them fully accountable.
gravenimage says
Spot on, Michael.
tim gallagher says
It sounds as though what the Muslims are trying to say is, hey, in a Muslim country it is quite OK for Muslim parents to kill their child (whether by straight out murder or by neglect) so how dare the UK authorities get tough and “mistreat” the Muslim scum by applying decent, civilised western justice. islam is barbaric shit. Muslims killing their children happens way too often. It would be better for the civilised people in the UK if these Muslim maggots stayed in Pakistan among their fellow barbarians. Calling the girl’s death an “incident’ shows the evil mindset of these Muslims.

Michael Copeland says
In Colorado in 2006 a Saudi national was found guilty of keeping a woman as a slave housekeeper for four years while repeatedly raping her. He argued that the United States was attacking Islamic customs such as not paying your slave and controlling her life: “We are Muslim”, he complained, “We are different. The state has criminalized these basic Muslim behaviors.”
Quite a lot of “basic muslim behaviors” are criminal.
somehistory says
I don’t believe I could name one of those ‘bmb,’ that isn’t criminal.
somehistory says
And they were crimes long before these scum arrived to attempt a societal takeover and a makeover of the Justice system.
gravenimage says
Yes–I remember that terrible story.
tgusa says
The homicidal maniac muslim (quite common) is openly admitting that murdering your daughter is indeed, mainstream islam.
somehistory says
Yes. Yes, he is

UK: Muslim father urged to flee country to avoid being ‘mistreated for being Muslim’ after killing his daughter
……………………………………
Yeah, because the “filthy Infidels” don’t recognize Muslims being able to “Honor Kill” their daughters…
More grotesque whining here:
“All of our family members have gone into hiding as everyone is scared for their safety,” she said. “The kids are unable to attend school as they’re afraid to leave the house.
“No one is leaving the house, the groceries have run out and there is no food for the kids as the adults are unable to leave their homes out of fear of safety (sic).”

somehistory says
A pack of lies….it’s always that the murderers are the victims. It makes me so angry sometimes, I need to puke. Can’t give in to violence, so it makes me sick. Not that violence against these scum would actually cause me to be healthy.
gravenimage says
Agree, Somehistory. This whinging by thugs *murdering children* is appalling, but all too common.
Aum says
Robert – Your post starts with Muslim father.
I have been following the story on the BBC they have not mentioned once this is a Muslim family or there is a connection with Islam.
Because it would be Islamophobia.
Why do I have to pay the BBC license fee? because if I don’t I will go to prison and face a huge fine.
brenrod says
The mother, Olga, was a polish Catholic. There were disagreements as the father was rising Sara Muslim, the stepmother appears to be Muslim. I believe they beat the children for being infidels. Sara has a brother.

garry pollack says
selfish…they think only of themselves. he cud’ve just given the child to the mom… but he saw the child merely as property… they R taught to think this way… by Islum….
Christopher Watson says
The step-mother’s whinning quoted by ‘Graven Image’ makes me sick. Many child killers face retribution in prison commited by normal prisoners. Even they have higher morals than this filth. Most criminals who rob banks and kill other people would never harm a child.
