Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. 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.”
Until the encouragement Islamic law gives to honor killing is acknowledged and confronted, more women will suffer.
“Two teenage girls in Waziristan village killed for ‘honour’ over leaked mobile video,” by Sirajuddin, Dawn, May 17, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Two teenage girls were killed in the name of ‘honour’ allegedly by a family member earlier this week in a village located on the border of the North and South Waziristan tribal districts after a short mobile video of them with a young man surfaced on social media, police said on Saturday.
The Razmak police station in North Waziristan, in whose jurisdiction the murders were reported, on Friday registered a First Information Report (FIR) of the incident with the state as the complainant and started an investigation.
According to the FIR, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com, the incident took place on May 14 around 2pm at Shaam Plain Garyom, a border village of North and South Waziristan in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
“A confirmed report was received that two girls aged 16 and 18 were killed in the name of honour by their paternal cousin, whose name and address is not known, in Shaam Plain Garyom,” read the FIR registered on behalf of a station house officer.
It said the reason behind the killings was believed to be a video, provided to Dawn.com, which shows a young man recording himself with three young girls in a secluded area outdoors.
A senior police officer in Waziristan confirmed the incident and told Dawn.com that two of the three girls seen in the 52-second mobile clip have been killed. He said police were collecting information about the third girl and the man seen in the video.
According to the police official, it appeared that the video in question was shot nearly a year ago and most probably went viral on social media a few weeks ago.
“As per the information received by police so far, the third girl and the boy are alive,” the officer said while quoting a report by the area tehsildar. He revealed that the families of the two victims reportedly moved to their native village Shakotai in South Waziristan after the incident for the burial of the bodies.
The area where the incident took place is far-flung and considered risky in terms of security, the police official said, adding that a police party has been dispatched to the area to further investigate the case….

It’s a disease. The same Muslim women who live like slaves in Muslim society encourage the males in their families to enslave infidel women and support each and every act of terrorism too.

Grimly, this is all too often true, ronit.

Religions, all of them are the products of the imaginations of the ancients who imagineered them. They are all totally BS. Jesus may have been a wonderful human being, but he was, at least to the extent that the biblical record is accurate, a mentally delusional bastard. Mary was probably a beautiful young girl. But, probably an old man took advantage of her youth and inexperience to impregnate her. When a God came from whence ever, and impregnated an earthling female, the offspring was supposedly a Demi-God. To my admittedly limited knowledge, there was no such thing as a female God trysting with a human male.

Does BitinDawg have any actual problem with Muslims murdering in the name of their vicious faith? Not so he says…
Few other religions act this way, and no other major faith does so today.

Good Morning ronit,
Women among the Muslims like any other women are very weak physically and though they are strong mentally, they are afraid to speak anything against against anything.
These man made cruel traditions and culture will come to an end once they revolt against all these crooked Muslim Men and I hope the day will come soon to arrest and this Muslim Masculine supremacy (MMS).
I use the same Muslim terminology in saying,” In Shah Allah”.
Regards
Uma

If God has no respect for life, why should they?
That is licence delusions of grandeur can give you. So empowering!

This probably will be blocked by the censors – but Islamic women are vaginas on a leash. And if they will kill their own children, what won’t they do?

Grimly, this *is* largely how Islam looks at women.
Welsh Warrior says
Worse than animal behavior, from followers of the pedophile worshipping cult known as islam. Islam is a disease not a religion and a threat civilized society.
Walter Sieruk says
Many times the propagandists for Islam say that Islam is a religion that “respects women.” What an outlandish totally false claim that is For in reality Islam is religion of brutal,cruel violent deadly misogyny.
This malicious anti-female nature of Islam has been proven by the Quran and other authorized written works of Islam. Likewise Islam inspires in number of male Muslims many malice-filed murderous misogynistic actions against both girls and women . This has been proven time and time again in many different countries by heinous behavior Muslim males heinous ,human rights violations against females because of misogynistic essence of Islam.
All this is.again, a reminder that back in the late 1990’s I read in Islamic propaganda that bogus claim that “Islam is a religion that respects life – all life.” Such a clear falsehood and lie of a claim is an insult to the intelligence of all people who are well-researched well -informed and knowledgeable about the actual ,real, nature of Islam.

tim gallagher says
Oh, yes, that seems like a proportionate and suitable punishment for these girls. Islam is absolutely evil and completely fucking insane. It is so hard to believe that Islam, or any religious ideology, can come up with such demented attitudes which could lead to people thinking that these girls should be murdered. Islam is surely the most evil and disgusting ideology that our sorry world has ever seen. It is so inhuman. Or, at least, any other such religion or ideology has disappeared from the human race centuries ago.

Islamic Republic of Pakistan: Two teen girls killed for honor by cousin over 52-second video of them with young man
……………………..
Just horrifying–I hope the third girl survives.
Will Pakistani authorities prosecute this case? I would not count on it…
JAMES says
There is no honor is islam.
OLD GUY says
Islam what a great “religion” you can kill a female for being with a young man not approved by the family. The idea of honor killing is extreme to say the least. It’s kind of interesting that many liberals who support muslim/islamic immigration don’t seem to have a problem with honor killing but raise all kind of hell about execution of violent criminals. The same thing can be said about pedophiles and the “religious” islamic child forced marriages. As far as I’am concerned neither of these actions/beliefs if appropriate or acceptable in a free society, and should be highly discouraged as they are illegal.
