"Try to Relax Here for a While Because They’re Going to Kill You Anyway" (Muslim Honor Killings)
FrontPage Mag ^ | January 25, 2016 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 01/27/2016 7:45:18 AM PST by Perseverando

This is an excerpt from a larger Asra Nomani piece on honor killings in the Wall Street Journal. It's quite a dark look at what life under Islamic mores is like for women.

In one particularly poignant chapter, Ms. Zoepf steps through the doors of a girls' prison in Syria, where 16-year-old Zahra al-Azzo was jailed for being raped. (That's right, they jailed her.)

The prison is a sort of holding facility for girls like Zahra who are at risk of being murdered by their families in a so-called honor killing. Yet there is little to protect the young women once they leave.

"One of the girls came to me, crying, the other day," the head social worker tells Ms. Zoepf. "She wanted to go home and it's an honor crime situation. I told her, 'Try to relax here for a while because they're going to kill you anyway when you're released.' It sounds cruel, but I needed to calm her down, to get her to behave sensibly.'"

Zahra was eventually freed from the prison in order to marry a cousin. Shortly thereafter, she was hacked to death in her apartment by her own brother-with the blessing of their parents. Zahra's crime: "losing her virginity out of wedlock." Her brother believed he was "washing away the shame" to the family.

The day of her murder, Ms. Zoepf chronicles, the girl's family threw a party.

When you consider the problem of terrorism, it's important to remember that we are dealing with societies where dehumanization and murder of even one's own closest relatives is not an aberration.

I think this pretty well sums up what we're up against with Muslims:

"Expecting a culture where you throw a party for murdering your own daughter who had been raped to treat us better than they have, let alone to understand that killing is wrong, is just unrealistic."

Over 1 Billion people are Muslim. That’s a little under 1/6th of the total human race. The other 5/6ths are not unified or prepared for the existential threat of Islam.

“I think this pretty well sums up what we’re up against with Muslims:”
Not just the Muslims.. the socialist libs in this country are on their side, too. A war is coming.

North and South American aren't prepared. The rest of the world has been struggling with them for the past 1300 years.

I don’t understand the cognitive dissonance that must be life in Islamic culture.

One would think that Muslim society would constantly be sowing the seeds of its own destruction. Yes, these societies are always backwards and will not advance, but even beyond that, you would think that the fact it oppresses so many people, there would be a great many Muslims looking for “another way.”

But yet American feminists who would imprison a white boy for stealing a kiss at a frat party, give full support to the importation of this scum onto our country.

Islam is of Satan. It masquerades as a religion, including the worshipping of a false God. Islam will never fit into the cultural melting pot of America.

Islamic “culture” is no different from that of the Canaanites.
The solution may well be to go Old Testament Biblical on them.

I feel sad for them. I really do. And I don’t hate all Muslims. I do hate Islam.

I actually find it interesting that the voluntary suicide terminates (excuse the pun) at the ‘far left’.

The Socialists of Sweden/Germany/etc. are the ‘hold hands’ mentality, but Russia? Ha!
