Her Father Shot Her in the Head, as an 'Honor Killing'
NY Times ^ | JAN. 30, 2016 | Nicholas Kristof

Posted on 02/07/2016 9:43:12 AM PST by Leaning Right

Her odyssey began when she fell in love against her family's wishes and ran off to marry her boyfriend. Hours after the marriage, her father and uncle sweet-talked her into their car and took her to a spot along a riverbank to murder her for her defiance — an "honor killing."

First they beat Saba, then her uncle held her as her own father pointed a pistol at her head and pulled the trigger.

The article later notes that honor killings usually happen in Muslim countries. I'm surprised that the NY Times would print such an Islamophobic statement. Some editor is going to get chewed out, for sure.

NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM. Haven’t seen recently any HONOR killings among the Mennonites, Quakers, Baptists or Catholics.. The only HONOR KILLINGS I have ever read about are people who study ardently the Koran.

You won’t hear a peep out of “feminists” or Hillary, about honor killings or the Muslim rape-fest in Europe. That’s because Muslims are part of the democrat “coalition of the oppressed,” so they get a free pass on their own religious War on Women. It’s the same reason that you won’t hear a “feminist” say word one about the epidemic of black on everyone rape, blacks, like Muslims are part of the “coalition of the oppressed.” Women are seen as essentially just cannon fodder by the left. They are used to advance every leftist cause out there, and then are allowed to be raped and murdered for their trouble.

That’s because “feminism” was created solely for the purpose of splitting the white vote. You never see “feminists” attempting to drive wedges between black woman and black men, or Hispanic women and Hispanic men, they are only interested in driving wedges between white women and white men.

From the article:
“...Since 9/11, the United States has spent billions of dollars reshaping Afghanistan and Pakistan with the military toolbox; I suspect we would have achieved more if we had relied to a greater extent on the education and women’s empowerment toolboxes...”

I’ll tell you how America should “reshape” Afghanistan and Pakistan, along with Iran, Syria, and Iraq...

Reshape them into a large glassy hole...

The future must not belong to those who deny the true nature of Islam

John Quincy Adams on Islam

In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.)

True.
But we have had leaders saying it is a religion of peace, in the face of all historical evidence.

Islam has been at war with everyone else since 622 A.D.
It must remain so until there is only Islam according to their book.

Therefore there can be no peace until there is no Islam unless we all want to submit or die.

Mad Mo made it so.

And the Oscars go to, Saba’s father, Maqsood, and the uncle, Muhammad! That Muhammad guy really gets around.
At least they got the right ethnicity!
