[ April 19, 2024 ]
A 21-year-old man and his teenage girlfriend, 18, were beheaded by family members for dating without proper permission — yet another example of Islam’s horrific “honor killing” principle at play.
The killing took place in the Attock district of Pakistan.
The family members waited until the man arrived at his girlfriend’s house for a visit, and then they ambushed them and killed them in cold blood.

Police have arrested the suspects.
More from Dawn:
An 18-year-old girl was beheaded along with her 21-year-old boyfriend by her father and uncle in what the police are calling yet another incident of honour killing, DawnNews TV reported on Monday.
The incident, that took place in a small village in Attock district, transpired when the man arrived at the girl’s house to meet her, police said. Soon after, the girl’s father Masood and her uncle Waheed walked in and, after tying the victims with ropes, beheaded them with a sharp object.
The police have arrested both suspects and recovered the murder weapon as well, Sub-inspector of Saddar police station Asif Khan told DawnNews TV. The bodies of both victims have been sent to District Headquarters Hospital for an autopsy after which they will be returned to their families. A case of double-murder has also been registered.
Scores of people in Pakistan, an overwhelming majority of whom are women, are still being murdered by relatives for bringing ‘shame’ on their family, more than a year since new laws came into force aimed at stemming the menace of ‘honour killings’. In October 2016, a joint sitting of both houses of parliament passed two key pro-women bills that had been pending assent for a long time.
The move at that time was cautiously hailed by women’s rights activists. More than a year on, however, lawyers and activists say honour killings are still occurring at an alarming pace.
At least 280 such murders were recorded by the independent Human Rights Commission of Pakistan from October 2016 to June 2017 ─ a figure believed to be understated and incomplete.
The legislation mandates life imprisonment for honour killings, but whether a murder can be defined as a crime of honour is left to the judge’s discretion.
That means the culprits can simply claim another motive and still be pardoned, according to Dr Farzana Bari, a widely respected activist and head of the Gender Studies Department at Islamabad’s Quaid-i-Azam University.

Is there a muslim teen in all of paky land that DOES NOT know they will be killed if they date outside of islam? They act as though this is some sort of surprise every time this happens. It seems obvious by now, that if you’re going to live amongst the filthies in dirty night shirts and you are going to live against their customs, in a country dominated by them, you best live your life VERY cautiously. Or, GTFO!

I would suppose that even as a muslim teen, the reality that your parents could actually love islam more than your very life, is something that’s hard to grasp. That your mom and dad would go beyond a beating, to brutally murder you. Even as it happens to others around you. Isn’t completely believable until it actually happens.

Look how today’s “feminists” ignore this. Instead they circle their wagons around those that SHARE their political views. Specifically women who cry rape, will only be supported if they have the SAME LIBERAL VIEWS as they have. If not, you are ignored, threatened or smeared.
I had to turn off Ford’s “testimony”. It was sickening and wreaked of theatrics. I will not get personal and detailed but this FAKE TERROR is just that FAKE. This faint little girl bubbly accommodating voice and demeanor is for show and fake. This is her day of reckoning and you are not AFRAID of it. It is a release. A clearing of the air and what’s been bottled up. She has been through her “story” many times with attorneys. She can’t even get that right. “Corrections” had to be made. This idea that she can’t fly on planes because of being claustrophobic are lies too. She flew on a plan in August to take a poly without a baseline. There was no problem with that. SUDDENLY there was a problem flying into D.C. for this “story” of hers.
I could go on and on about her contradictions. What I can say is when a true victim has the opportunity to confront their rapist or whatever, they do NOT behave like that. They maybe uncomfortable but the WANT to get justice. All this woman is doing is destroying GENUINE VICTIMS of abuse or rape etc. from being taken seriously.

All you get is life in prison for such acts?
Wow.
I’m surprised there aren’t hundreds of nonMuslim men serving life sentences for ridding their countries of this scourge!
I’m shocked the police don’t execute them on site, as well…

There have been several honor killings by muslim families inside the United States. Pamela has covered them, being intimately involved with one young muslim girl running for her life.

The horror and crushing heartbreak is almost too much, even when shared. The muslim religion teaches human beings to be inhumane savages.

Yes it is. Read yesterday’s article by Pamela Geller’s friend and fellow warrior against islamic terrorism, Robert Spencer;
New York Times hits “disturbing trend” of seeing Islam as “not a religion”
SEP 27, 2018 5:15 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER
Merriam Webster defines “religion” as “a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices.” Islam certainly qualifies as a religion by that definition. Religions profess to connect human beings to the divine. Islam professes to do that. At the same time, however, it is also a political system that is authoritarian, supremacist, discriminatory, expansionist, violent, and aggressive. Asma T. Uddin must be aware of that fact but ignores it entirely, instead giving the impression that Sharia is simply religious law, and opposition to Sharia is simply motivated by religious bigotry and “Islamophobia.”
In reality, Islamic law’s political aspects contradict Constitutional principles and American freedoms in numerous particulars, including its denial of the freedom of speech, the institutionalized discrimination against women, non-Muslims, and other groups, its death penalty for apostasy from Islam and for homosexual activity, and more. At a certain point there is going to have to be a national discussion about whether religious freedom grants Muslims the right to break other laws, or whether the aspects of Sharia that contradict American law are unwelcome in the United States. Asma T. Uddin and the New York Times are trying to foreclose upon that discussion by muddling the issue….

The sick part is that Islam is racked full of pedophiles (why many western countries like having that kind of chaos).
It’s okay to murder you own child, so that you can bugger someone else’s?
