You’re Muslim girl. You fall in love. You deserve to die.That’s the reason a Muslim father beat his daughter to death two weeks ago after becoming infatuated with a British soldier in
For Abdel-Qader Ali there is only one regret: that he did not kill his daughter at birth. 'If I had realised then what she would become, I would have killed her the instant her mother delivered her,' he said with no trace of remorse.
OK. This story is old news. What’s also old news is that honor killings are a staple of the Islamic faith.
So it seems obvious. Right?

Honor killings are a part of a eastern culture, not the religion of Islam. Don't intermix the two.
You know what, that's right..but there's a corollary here.. how many Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Shinto, Zoroastrian, or any other indigenous culture or religion to the 'east' are involved in honor killings?
I honestly don't know, but one wonders
The difference, abdullah, is that here is it illegal and you don't usually get accessory to murder backup from your male relatives as if it were a request to help you move.
Why don't you tell us what your attitude as to how fathers and brothers should treat "disobedient" daughters who bring "dishonor" on them and make their manhood shrivel up, hmmmm?
Zaakir,
You will be happy to know that Ellen K. Sheeley will, very likely, soon be around to make that point for you.
Hi Ellen.
By the way, Zaakir, why is that little kid carrying a gun?
Actually, Epa, Sikhs and Hindus are also into honor killing, as it's a South Asian thing. Just ask Canadians, particularly those from Vancouver, British Columbia, who have had to suffer the antics of its insular, whiny, and violent Sikh minority. Recently, Canada has had several shocking cases of Sikh honor killings of daughters or wives. As for Hindu honor killings, just type "Hindu honor killing" into Google and you'll find plentiful news reports on it. You don't hear about Sikh and Hindu honor killings because they don't receive the same scrutiny as Islamic honor killings.
THE FACTS:
"Sikh Honor KIlling" 7 hits on google from 1999-2007, not exactly a contagion
IDENTICAL results for Hindu.
SEVEN Hits
"muslim honor killing", (all searches in quotes) , 2850
"christian Honor killing", 33
Zoroastrian, 0
"Jewish honor killing" 7 hits, 4 of which were about that no one has heard of one, another about HAMAS
So WHAT are you talking about?
You assumed facts, anon seem not to bear the focus of your argument.
I have to concur with Anons point, the Sikhs and Hindu's are just as involved in so called 'Honour killings', perhaps every bit as bad as the Muslims. I was asked by the head of a Sikh family to beat up his own son because he wouldn't stop seeing a white girl he had fallen in love with. Of course I told him to go to hell. It does appear to be a South Asian/Arab thing to view women at best as chattel, subject to the whim of barbaric misogynistic sociopathic men. It's interesting how the experience in Canada chimes with experiences we have of south Asians in the UK....the same insular unintegrated retarded attitude. What I will say is that the Muslims will kill ANYONE for the slightest transgression of their theocratic code....I had a very interesting conversation with an African Muslim the other day....I know that white America views the hard working diligent surface of South Asian Sikhs and Hindu's, all I offer is that there is far far more going on beneath the surface of concern to anyone concerned with (especially gender) equality. Without question the Muslims are the worst for violence and pose the most threat to non Muslims...but don't forget they are not the only ones with a handle on primitive barbaric tribalism.
Zoroasterianism you said did not do honor killings?
Yet many Sat that religion gave rise to judisium so Christianity and Islam. If no honor killings in this early zoroasterianism religion then when did the honor killings start and why?
I'm not a cultural historian so I can't answer your question Constance. When is not as important as why. I think Rivers in prior post gave a reason - ...... fathers and brothers should treat "disobedient" daughters who bring "dishonor" on them and make their manhood shrivel up, hmmmm?
