Pakistan: Muslim strangles his niece on suspicion she had illicit relations with Christian - Jihad Watch

I had to go back and check if I had already posted about this one or not because it sounded so familiar. Sadly, its another honor killing.

Quote:
LAHORE: A 15-year-old girl was allegedly strangled to death by her uncle in the name of honour in Shera Kot Police limits on Wednesday.
The deceased was identified as Anam, daughter of Ramzan, resident of Ghousia Park. Police said that the deceased’s uncle, Talib Hussain, who was residing at his brother-in-law’s house, suspected that Anam had illicit relations with a Christian youth of the same area.

Not to defend Islam, but I think "honor killings" are cultural and not Islamic. Are they not?

Even so, any culture that places so much importance on "honor" is serious flawed.

Americans should be familiar with this. It wasn't so long ago that we did it. I wonder if, when they weren't stringing people up on trees, if they were god fearin' folk. I'm sure some were. Amazing isn't it, how far we've come. And how easily we can point at other people and say, "Yeah, you're just like we used to be."

According to this ethnic Arab, honor killings are intrinsically tied to the practice of Islam.

The killers mainly defend their act of murder by referring to the Koran and Islam. Family guardian will say that they are merely following the directives set down in their Islamic ethical beliefs.

Nice try at deflection! You lefties are getting better and better as the ship sinks.

Comparing actions that happened years ago (that were horrendous and should never have happened and that this country has moved on from) to the continued atrocious activities of despicable muslims happening TODAY is kinda.....pathetic.

Not to mention, horrible as vigilante killings are, this is not the same situation at all. A man who is deemed to be a danger is killed by a vigilante mob. It has nothing to do with "honor" but rather, a misguided effort to protect the womenfolks. The murder of GIRLS in Islam is not about protecting anyone's safety, it's all about promoting male honor based on real or imagined "misbehavior" of the victim.

Aye, they're both horrible and they are both comparable. Blacks were considered subhuman and treated as such, in some areas of the united states. Just like females by muslim fanatics.
