Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that "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." ('Umdat al-Salik o1.1-2). In other words, someone who kills his child incurs no legal penalty under Islamic law.
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 light of all this, until authorities get the courage to tell the truth about honor killing, there will be many more such murders.
"Two girls, mother killed over family video," from Dawn, June 25 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
GILGIT, June 24: A family video showing two teenage girls enjoying rain in their house led to their murder in Chilas on Sunday night. Their mother was also gunned down allegedly by her stepson and his four friends. Five masked men barged into the house of retired police officer Rehmat Nabi and started firing, killing his wife and daughters, aged 15 and 16.
According to police, the crime was motivated by a video clip circulated on mobile phones and showing the girls overjoyed by rain in the lawn of their bungalow.
The video, recorded six months ago, was circulated in the area four months later probably after a relative sent it to his friends.
Police believed that the girls’ stepbrother Khutore took it as an “assault on the honour of his family” and tried to “restore the family’s honour” by killing the girls.
Khutore escaped when police tried to get in touch with him for investigation. But, his four friends were arrested and, according to a senior police official, they have confessed to the crime. A case has been registered against the five.
wait a minute: they said it’s a “religion of peace”.
Three hours before reading this grim report, I was having a great, silly time running through a sprinkler with my little daughter. Thank God I’m just a lowly infidel catholic dad.
Drown them.
You are teaching your daughters badly. Because they ran through a sprinkler, you can expect them to run with boys when they get older. :(
I hear so many of these stories, I now cope with them by telling myself the girls are better off dead than living in that culture.
Islam can screw up everything, even the love parents have for their children. And we are asked to tolerate this crap.
“religion of peace”
Peace, peace, and more peace. In fact the two girls and the Mom are resting in it right now.
I hear so many of these stories, I now cope with them by telling myself the girls are better off dead than living in that culture.
I have to wonder whether Islam is a culture or a death cult.
Check my sig. :)
There is no need to wonder. Like the Dim Libs...a death cult.
Islamics and socialists unite to cut off Adam Smith’s invisible hand.

Well, mother and daughters are certainly at peace now...
Please drop Napalm on these single cell organisms...
I remember doing that sort of thing with my kids. The absolute joy it would bring to them. I have often watched it rain. It’s magical. I like to walk in it once in a while. It’s just cool to smell, to feel being absorbed into your clothes.
These things bring joy to us. Imagine a god who wanted us to be killed for such simply joy. No god would want that.
It is evidence of a very sick culture, when things get this out of whack for something so innocent.
Poor retired dad and mom, somewhere along the way, they failed to bring up their kids in the way they should go.
The peace of the grave.
Allah is pleased....smiling from ear to ear in the bowels of hell...
“the girls are better off dead than living in that culture.”
Assuming they would never have broken away?...Even so, I still have a hard time deciding who’d be better off dead and who wouldn’t.
I think the only effective way to end Islam is to separate the women and children from the “man dominated religious clerics and other males in any given Islamic society - and allow those kids to grow up “Islamic Free” while the men are contained and eventually die out from old age...most women and kids that experience life outside or with others that are non-Moslem - seek this...from my experience...that is...women want the best for their children and Islam is not the priority...and those that say it is...are living an extravagant life style or brain washed...
