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.”

It just can’t be reiterated too much ,that “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 !

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.
Related to this subject, many Muslims do claim, at least in lip service, that they respect the Bible. So the Bible in Proverbs 17:15 it reveals “ “The Lord hates two things: punishing the innocent and letting the guilty go free.” [E.R.V]
Walter Sieruk says
The Islamic practice that many Muslim males so very inappropriately call “honor killing” actually exposes the brutal cruel ,heatless misogyny of Islam
A scholar of Islam who revealed the disturbing horrible truth in her book “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islam ideology.” Furthermore, the author also exposed that `” Women is Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.” [1]

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 .
abu taleb says
Killing a helpless girl or raping her and other disgusting actions can be honorable things to do in Islam, non muslims who think otherwise must realize the different moral standard used by the muslims.
It is so stupid that a lot of western people arrogantly think everybody else in the world think the same way as they do. Stupid but arrogant, a very fatal combination.
OLD GUY says
I’am sure killing this girl made the family better and restored their honor. Maybe the MALE family leader feels more power over his family now. Kind of like a pack of animals, thats what Islam teaches in its mosques.
Nothing like living in fear of the alpha male in the family.
Tony Rice says
Would I be correct in believing Islam is a misogynist cult based around killing and sex? Kill and die for Allah, the MOON God of Arabs and get 72 virgins as reward. Does seem that way, doesn’t it ?
