Honor Killing And Beheading: Stereotype Or True To Type?
The Stiletto Blog ^ | February 23, 2009 | The Stiletto

Posted on 02/24/2009 5:34:52 AM PST by theothercheek

If someone said the word “beheaded” in 1793 most people would immediately think, “Guillotine.”

In 2009 and when someone says the word “beheaded” most people would immediately think – what? Baha’i? Um, no, that doesn’t sound quite right. Jain? Um, that’s not it, either. Quaker? Nah. Muslim. Yeah, that’s it! Muslim.

Ditto “honor” killings of girls and women.

Is this racist or reality? ...

[W]hen a Christian or Jewish man beats up or kills his wife or girlfriend, all other Christian or Jewish women in the neighborhood do not take it as a warning to become “more obedient.” In the typical domestic violence scenario, a specific man is a threat to a specific woman.

But when an honor killing occurs in the Muslim community - and it's not just husbands killing wives, but also fathers killing daughters, uncles killing nieces and brothers killing sisters - all the other Muslim women are on notice they could be next. Sharia law makes all Muslim men threats to all Muslim women in the community.

Additionally, the ritualistic nature of the murders – immolation, beheading - is meant to instill terror in Muslim women throughout the community, just as similar techniques have instilled terror throughout swaths of Iraq and Pakistan.

What happened to Aasiya Hassan - and to scores of other Muslim girls and women in the US , Canada, Europe and throughout the Middle East - is Islamic terrorism, not domestic violence.

NOTE: I did not have time to put in the hyperlinks in this excerpt. There is a case to be made that calling this "domestic violence" is akin to trying terrorists and Islamic insurgents in criminal courts.

There is some evidence that Mexican and South American drug cartels have hooked up with Islamofascists. Maybe they’re learning a trick or two.

Islam creates a culture in which masculocentric rage is acceptable in terms of spousal disloyalty. When the lines of Sharia rule become blurred by rage, the men can become in their own eyes " Allah", and megalomania ensues.

This is essentially discivilzation as far as western culture is concerned. Westren culture is based on the Jewish, and Greco Roman lineages which accepted and lauded the feminine in a much more elastic fashion, and so many fail to understand the insipient threat that Islam has for western culture. Sharia law and its associated conduct for the behaviorally challeneged men perpetrators, and their passive females of acceptance and surrender, need to be negatively sanctioned. Sharia law needs to be banned, censored and outlawed in the United States. Our police officers need to have authority to simply put such men behind bars, no bailo, pending judicial disposition which should include a revocation of naturalization, or legal alienship, and immediate deportation. Restraining orders do not work, they just hasten the so called "devine" retribution of Allah.

To treat this matter in any other way is folly. We should have the same appraoch to this issue, as the gun banners and opponents to the 2nd amendment have.

Where is the liberal outcry? If a school child gets shot by a maniac, the liberals want to ban every gun owner in the USA? Here we have a woman who was beheaded, by the icon of the Islamic intercultural conquest movement.Yet feminists , and liberal bleeding hearts turn a blind eye. Where is their ooutrage? What a bunch of liberal idiots , who prove BTW that liberals accept totalitarianism, acccept fascism, but not the freedoms of their own citizenry.

We need to begin to fight them!

I wish I could agree with you but you have it backwards. Islamofascists kill and are ready to die for their twisted version of honor, which includes religious fealty. Fox News’ Steve Centanni, for one, was not willing to die for his faith but converted to Islam on camera like the coward that he is. There are people in my own family who chose death by the Muslim sword rather than to renounce their faith in Jesus, and should I find myself in the same horrific situation one day I pray that I remember the courage of my ancestors and not Centanni’s cowardice.

If you read the entire post, there is an article cited by feminist Amy Siskind that attempts to explain why some feminists are not speaking out (she disagrees with them and their reasons, though she does not seem to understand the cultural and religous component of this particular wife killing and why it should not be regarded just another case of domestic violence).

I don’t know why people call islam a race. It’s a sub-human belief system based on overthrowing governments and forcing the population into submission. A out of work science fiction writer makes a religion and you get scientology. A warlord getting his butt kicked by his own people creates a religion and you get islam.

And I hear this all the time. “But X is a nice person. He would never act like those people in the news every day.” X is the minority. And as soon as X is the majority, your world is over. That’s what they do. That is all they do.

Historically they were the invaders. In response all of their nations were burned to the ash by the Catholics. Remember those “O.G.” Christian guys that taught you to read? That gave you people today some breathing room before they regrouped and repopulated.

Remember not so many years ago when everyone called Catholics on the atrocities committed during the Crusades? The Pope even apologized to the muslim “leader’s” for being so mean. Awww...

And so what is every nation(yet again) doing now? Having a multination friendship session? The Catholics took them out precisely for the reasons that we are doing this.

They kill people and attack people randomly and the cause is.. wait for it- You aren’t a muslim. It’s that simple. And it’s no more racist and no less insane than scientology.

islam isn’t a race. islam isn’t a religion. islam is a belief system that forces people to conquer nations and enslave all who are under their majority rule. If you don’t see a thing for what it is, then that’s your problem. They are clear about the objective. That’s they’re one advantage over us.

I’ve heard the same thing. Can’t say as how I’m real happy about it.

I did read the post. Amy siskind is seeking support from her feminist peers. She knows full well what her position should be. The timidity exhibited by the left is simply a further manifestation of the lefts cultural acceptance of the sado masochistic aspects of Islamic culture which sets their little pussies aglow.

Thats the problem, many feminists liketo sit alone at home and fantasize about being dominated by a violent well endowed man, simply because their relationship to men is out of balance, and they often long for reconciliation in their own psyches.And this foolishness is the result.

If Amy would stand on her own two feet with some courage, she would be much further ahead of this deadly game now being played out in the context of Obama, who will encourage the current feminist malaise, and disempower them completely as time goes on.

This is an issue that should be carried by fine conservative women whose numbers are legion in this country.If ever there was a time for THEM to exercise their voices, it is NOW.

Amy Siskind started The New Agenda as an alternative to NOW to allow pro-life and pro-abortion feminists to come together to tackle issues other than abortion that NOW has ignored. The New Agenda - and Amy personally - supported the McCain-Palin ticket even though she was a top Dem fundraiser. All the feminist Dems who thought their party pulled a fast one and robbed Hillary Clinton of the nomination and supported McCain-Palin sent a shock wave through the Dem and feminist establishments. I’d say Amy is pretty brave, if misguided on why this case doesn’t fit neatly inside the “violence against women” category.

No, not racist. Mooselimbs of all races do it.

All the more power to AMY then. She should be like Paul Revere though. This is an issue which could allow us to make sever inroads into the Islamic cultural conquest of America, a GIFT.

And we cannot afford to look a gift horse in the mouth at this point.

We need a federal law that has an end pont of deportation for Muslims who perpetrate, aid or abet the abuse of women, ( many of whom are American women who marry these fanatics.), with capital punishment for perps like the present one.

I would sign on to any effort to bring that about, no second thoughts.

This is not uncommon internationally. The Philippines recently refused entry to an abusive Japnese spouse who beat his Philipino wife horribly IN JAPAN.She returned home, he came after and was put right back on his plane.They didn't even let him use a washroom.The RP knows how to handle the matter, and we do not?

Stereotype Or True To Type?

The two terms are not mutally exclusive. Stereotypes derive often from True-to-Type characteristics.

I wonder if the cartels have been noticing the effectiveness of the Moslem headhunting practices in evoking horror, or if some of the Cartelistas are maybe named Mohammed.

Probably a little bit of both.

No offense taken, but if there are two versions of honor, then one of them must be wrong.

To me, honor is proctecting God’s given life from those who without blinking would take it.

Those in your family who chose death rather than converting to Islam showed uncompromising faith and great honor. I too pray that I have the same strength as they. If you are not prepared to die for your beliefs then you stand for nothing.

Islam is the religion of death
