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 my country, murder is normal’: Man who is in jail for his niece’s honour killing sues ITV for accusing him of ordering her rape,” by Robert Folker, Daily Mail, May 27, 2025:
A man serving life in jail for ordering the murder of his niece in a so called ‘honour killing’ is suing ITV over claims he also allowed her rape.
Banaz Mahmod was aged 20 when she was killed on the orders of her father Mahmod Mahmod and uncle Ari Mahmod after she left an abusive arranged marriage.
Other family members and friends were recruited to carry out the murder and she was raped by three of her cousins before being strangled.
Uncle Mahmod, 69, is now suing over a 2020 drama called Honour, starring Keeley Hawes, and a 2012 documentary on the killing.
He claims that in his Iraqi Muslim culture, ‘honour’ murders are acceptable but accusation of rape have destroyed his reputation, the Sun reports.
While representing himself, he told the High Court that he been attacked in jail and that his family were victims of reprisals.
‘In my country murder is normal — after served time you have a new opportunity,’ he said speaking via videolink from HMP Whitemoor in Cambridgeshire earlier this month
‘In my culture the main things they react against me was the rape allegation.’
Speaking about himself in the third person, he added: ‘Almost all statements left no doubts the allegation of rape was with Ari’s blessing. In the Islamic community rape is taboo — it is the highest level of crime.’
Banaz fled an abusive arranged marriage, which she had at the age of 17, after being continuously raped and beaten by her husband, who was ten years older….
Banaz suffered horrific sexual violence prior to being strangled to death at the family home in January 2006.
Her body was then stuffed into a suitcase and taken to Birmingham , where it was buried in the garden of an abandoned home.
Following the discovery of her body, Banaz’s father, uncle and other relatives and family associates were charged with her murder or for conspiring in it….

In his* country. Why didn’t he stay in *his* country? (foreigners always say that..in my country….when something is different from what they want it to be [usually a law forbidding them their ‘custom.’] and they are caught breaking the law)
“murder is normal.” But he doesn’t want the rapes attributed to him because then young women may not want to be around him when his *life sentence*….which doesn’t mean what it purports to mean….is over.
I don’t know about the U.K., but “jail” in the U.S. means for one year or less. For “life” or for more than one year, the convicted perps are sent to *prison.*

“In my country, murder is normal..”
Translation: “In my country [not the UK] Islam is the Mafia.”

About that cruel brutal vicious and murderous Islamic practice so inappropriately called “honor killing” is a horrendous affront. Clearly “Islamic culture “ is so very savage cruel ,brutal vicious and murderous that it’s not really a genuine “culture, it’s an abomination.
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 ,which is nothing but a heathen practice and hoax.
As revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995 ” For that future history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
Therefore Sharia is of pagan origin and therefore has no value or worth.
Be that vicious murderous action of “honor killing “ takes place in Iran or 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 !

They love death. They love it so much they will kill their own. Disgusting, barbaric, ideology.
Pray Hard says
Moslems don’t have a clue what honor is. These are shame murders.

These moz scum males feel a loss of *pride* before other moz scums. Their fake prophet murdered when someone made him feel like his mob might not fear him. Same with his followers.

“Islamic culture” is not really a genuine culture. As observed in that 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 , because of its wicked Islamic practice of “honor killing.”
First, the terrible term “honor killing” is alone a dishonest term. For there is no honor, at all, in a malice -filled murder of a young female. Just giving an evil action a better sounding title doesn’t change the wicked nature of it. It’s like scrapping off the label of that jar of cyanide which reads “Danger Poison” and replacing on that jar another label that reads “ Apple Juice.” That doesn’t change the deadly content in that jar. As it has been wisely said that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”
Second, the horrible reality is that Islam is able to in a sinister way, warp the cognation of the human mind that a man might even feel and think that a cold-blooded murder of a helpless young girl or woman is something that is “good” That’s outright demonic. So much so that it’s a reflection of the words found in the Bible in Isaiah 5:20. Which read “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light and light for darkness…” [N.K.J.V.]
Third. , the Muslim father who so vicious ,because of his religion that his wants to murder his own daughter in a so called ‘honor killing” and feels no remorse or guilt about the horrendously evil actions that they committed are so very heartless because ,as the Bible reveals they have had “their own conscience seared with a hot iron” First Timothy 4:2.
In that situation, that “hot iron” is Islam.
Forth , but not less important than the other three points is to have the knowledge that this 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 know them” Matthew 7:20.

abu taleb says
Mentioning what he said that murder was normal in his country is Islamophobia, not his own saying nor the fact that in hos country it was normal to murder for honor (and for other reasons).
The globalist lefties is digging their own graves, but first.they try to kill the conservatives.
James Lincoln says
According to the feature article:
“Muslim imprisoned for honor murder of niece says ‘In my country murder is normal”
Will UK authorities check on the veracity of that statement?
What happens when they find out that it is true?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Courtesy President Bush, whose administration helped write a constitution for Iraq, which like Afghanistan, enshrined islam as the law of the land
James Lincoln says
Quite true, Infidel.
And the clueless United States government was hoping for a “Jeffersonian democracy”.

UK: Muslim imprisoned for honor murder of niece says ‘In my country murder is normal’
……………………………………….
When new immigrants enter Britain, does *no one* tell, them, ‘oh, by the way, murder is not normal here?’ Guess there was a time when this did not sem necessary…
More:
He claims that in his Iraqi Muslim culture, ‘honour’ murders are acceptable but accusation of rape have destroyed his reputation, the Sun reports…
‘In my culture the main things they react against me was the rape allegation.’
……………………………………….
So *murdering* his niece was just fine. Actally, so is marital rape–but unlike murder, this is less often a family affair…
