Hira Anwar, 14, lived in two contrasting worlds in New York, where she was born and raised. Outside her home, she was a typical American teenager, laughing with friends, posting videos on TikTok and dreaming of a boundless future.

Inside the home, her reality was very different. Her parents, Pakistani immigrants who had settled in the United States over two decades ago, expected her to adhere to their cultural and religious values, which demanded modesty from women. To them, Hira’s bold, expressive online presence was a direct challenge.

That tension, familiar in South Asian immigrant households across the West, ended in deadly violence this week. Hira was fatally shot by her father and an uncle on Monday night, several days after arriving in Pakistan on what she had been told was a family vacation, the police said. The authorities called her death an “honor killing.”

In a chilling confession in Quetta, the capital of the southwestern province of Balochistan, Hira’s father, Anwar ul-Haq, said she had brought shame to the family by posting what he called inappropriate videos online, the police said.

...In his confession, the police said, Mr. ul-Haq expressed objections to his daughter’s clothing, lifestyle and social relationships1

In 2022, two Pakistani sisters holding Spanish residency permits were tortured and killed a day after arriving in Punjab Province, the police in Pakistan said. Their husbands, an uncle and a brother carried out the killing after the sisters sought divorces from forced marriages, according to investigators.

In true Islam women are deficient in intelligence and religion per the Sahiyah Hadiths. Yet & ironically mothers raise boys. Why?

Reminds me of those two sisters in Texas some years ago. Their father was Egyptian and while in their teens he took them to Egypt to try to get them married to an old guy. But that failed.

Later,as is the case with most teenage girls,they had American boyfriends. Although they tried to hide it from their father he found out. He lured them to a night out for dinner and murdered them both. One of them managed to call 911 while the attack was happening. She was asked by the operator "what's happening?" and the girl answers,in a surprising clam voice,"my father's killing us...that's what's happening".

Listen, she didn’t do anything worthy of the death penalty, but undoubtedly her father knew of her activities, and expressed that to her in very blunt terms. She knows Islam is a death cult and Pakistan is a safe space for it, but she went anyway

These people are despicable hypocrites.

Raping female white girls -- no problem.

Daughter dances a stupid dance on Tik Tok -- their "honor" requires they kill her.

As if anyone cared or even thought about their loathsome family and countrymen. As if they could dishonor themselves anymore than they do to themselves.
