Netherlands: 13-year-old Muslim tries to kill his mother because “women are not allowed to divorce”

Jihad Watch: A divorced woman “dishonors the family.” Killing a divorced woman honors the family. That’s Islamic morality.

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.  read more

  1. I thought only muzzies committed honor killings, accounting for 100% of them. Not 91%. Who are the other 9%?

    It’s a screwed up culture that believes killing your own wife, children, mother is honorable along with beating your wife also being honorable.
