In the Qur’an, a mysterious figure, known as Khidr in Islamic tradition, kills a boy in an apparently random and gratuitous attack. He then explains: “And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief. So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.” (18:80-81)
And according to Islamic law, “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.” (Reliance of the Traveller o1.1-2).
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.”

Yet another evil monster that islam seems to create in such huge numbers. There is supposed to be love between a parent and his or her child, but, in many of these reports of murders (over nothing) by Muslim parents there is nothing that resembles love at all. islam is a sick religious ideology and it specialises in producing evil monsters who have nothing about them that even slightly resembles decency and humanity.

That’s one way to solve the problem of teenage rebellion. This loveless human being lives alongside many Hindus who don’t share Islam’s support for filicide but if his case lands before a Muslim judge he may escape the lengthy prison sentence that would be appropriate. Did he discuss this with his wife or a friend? Did anyone tell him, “Calm down, it’s not life or death”? Or did his father, sons or wife say “If she does it one more time then strangle her. Allah won’t hold it against you.”? Unfortunately both possibilities are equally plausible in the alternate Universe of Shariah.

There are at least two reasons why women have an inferior position in Islam: The Quranic inclusion of an Allah-declared superior position for men and the resulting male narcissism that causes denial of a woman’s education and denial of a woman’s free social interaction. (It’s good to have a semi-slave?)

You are forgetting that muslim males much prefer the company of men _ especially sexually. It’s because they are afraid and jealous of women, because they can give birth and all the men know, is how to kill or make other people miserable.

This is yet another example of tragic and deadly example of Islamic “family values.”
