Popular Post boomerangutang Posted May 28, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2014 It's nothing to do with religion. It's cultural.I just read several other sad stories of 'honor murders' in that region. Whatever is lower than cruelty, that's what they're doing. Every child in that region should get adopted by a reasonable western family and move to a sane/safe region. And every adult there should have their tubes tied. They're unworthy of having children. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just1Voice Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 How any father could stone his own daughter to death is beyond my comprehension. Unless you have the mind set that since she wasn't a son, she's inconsequential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thumper101 Posted May 28, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2014 The BBC ought to also highlight the fact that in the UK alone there are around a dozen 'honour murders' a year. I bought a house in Banbury in 2001, and found out that a young girl there was abducted from that very house 2 years prior and taken to Leicester by her cousins and brothers, she was then stabbed to death multiple times by the very same family members for having a 'relationship' with an English local. The problem in the UK is that the family members and local muslim community refuse to testify against these murders and the majority of these crimes go unpunished. It is also noteworthy to mention the left and center left political parties never seem to want to come down hard on these 'islamic traditions' because they are far too worried about 'their votes'..... Eh Mr Blair and Mr Clegg???? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a decent society, that would be called 'harboring a criminal.' We don't expect murderers to tell the truth (admit what they did), but at least neighbors can, ...except in Muslim communities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, bit insensitive there, but though it happens on occasion in civilized places, the fact it happens wholesale in certain areas of Pakistan speaks volumes about that backward, uncivilized society. Let them at it, with a bit of luck they'll rid the world of their kind and do us all a favour! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why doesn't it happen in Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia, Senegal etc. So called "honor killings" do happen in those countries - also amongst Muslims in the USA and the UK. There were 200 "honor killings" during just one year in Turkey. Edited May 28, 2014 by Ulysses G. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple1 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) It's nothing to do with religion. It's cultural. It's a mixture of both. No it's not. There is no mention of honour killing in the Quran or Hadiths. Honour killing, in Islamic definitions, refers specifically to extra-legal punishment by the family against a woman, and is forbidden by the Sharia (Islamic law). Religious authorities disagree with extra punishments such as honour killing and prohibit it, so the practice of it is a cultural and not a religious issue. However, since Islam has influence over vast numbers of Muslims in many countries and from many cultures, some use Islam to justify honour killing even though there is no support for honour killing in Islam. http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/cj-jp/fv-vf/hk-ch/p3.html Edited May 28, 2014 by simple1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
