An “honor killing”? Since when has being killed became an “honor”? I bet in the state of NY, muders will remember this and use it for their own cases!

Asked if the murder is being probed as an honor killing, Benz replied, “We’ve been told that there’s no place for that kind of action in their faith, but I wouldn’t say that there’s anything that’s being completely ruled out at this point.”

Let’s hope that pressure from various Moslem “civil rights” groups don’t undermine the investigation.

I don’t doubt that Hassan is a pretty vicious and remorseless bastard. He thinks that what he did is the will of Allah!

Hello, Sarah.

Well, they consider that women have no honor, but that their actions can harm the family’s honor. If a man’s honor is hurt by a woman’s doing, he will be laughed at, so he must take revenge on her to “wash his honor”. So it’s named “honor killing”, because they are killed out of honor, even if they concept of honor isn’t really ours.

AOW and ekawaaz.

According to her lawyer she was subject to physical abuse from her domineering Muslim husband that escalated to death threats.The couple had two children together.

Phyllis Chesler cites previous domestic violence with previous wives:

Can a man who has a track record of serious domestic violence, in one marriage after the next, also, at the end of the day, suddenly commit an honor murder? Can a man who has had several wives who left him because of his violence, then “snap,” and behead the last wife standing when she, too, leaves?

Earlier today, I received an email from one Jordan Robinson who sent me to a blogsite which belongs to Zarqa Abid. First, Abid says that:

“It’s been five days now that my family along with the rest of the community has been in shock. The fact that Muzzammil was married to my first cousin before marrying the victim still horrifies us. Ms. Zubair was his third wife. Both of his earlier wives filed divorce on the same grounds of severe domestic violence and abuses.”

Is this true? I don’t know. So far, I could find no documented history of domestic violence (which does not mean it did not happen). There is only Zarqa’s late-in-the-day word on this–and the February 6, 2009 order of protection obtained by Aasiya Z. Hassan.

Is Abid’s account an attempt on the part of the Islamic community to cut Hassan loose? Perhaps, for Abid goes on to say that Hassan was not a religious Muslim, that he used and perhaps stole from the Muslim community to fund a fabulous lifestyle for himself, and that she, Abid, tried, unsuccessfully, to alert the Muslim community to Hassan’s violent nature.

(…) I googled her. Abid is described as someone who wears a face veil and justifies doing so–even though she herself is a television media professional. Perhaps Abid is telling the God’s honest truth. Perhaps this is a new form of taqqiya, disinformation, so that the Muslim community can back away, with some dignity intact, from this formerly prominent Muslim leader who has now been exposed as a wife beater and, allegedly, as a wife killer.

(…) According to Pipes, “One Salma Zubair posted at BlogTalkRadio.com the following statement:

I am sister of this brutally murdered woman. She lived her 8 years of married life with fear in heart. She never let it come to her eyes or lips she was this afraid of this man. He had already frightened her enough that she couldn’t muster up her guts and leave him, and when she finally did gather that much strength he killed her so brutally. She lived to protect her children from this man and his family and she died doing so. Muzzamil Hassan’s family including his parents and brothers never tried to help Aasiya. Even when he had hit her and bruised her body badly in front of them. Aasiya had always been a very loving person, not even one person in this world can say a small wrong word about her. … And please make a special pray for her children and that they do not have to live with that family who’s son killed their mother and they never helped her but rather supported their son.”

So what do you think of this?

Many apologists claim that honor killings are tribal customs, and are un-Islamic. The problem, though, is that most of Islam consists of tribal customs.

Bottom right: Churchill nailed it!

The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.</i.

[...] ~ “USA: Beheading in New York Appears to Be Honor Killing, Experts Say.” [...]

Hunter: well, there are men who mistreat women and women who mistreat men in all cultures. In Spain, there is an important part of XVIIth century literature (our Golden Century, as it’s called), based precisely in men who killed their wifes because they had failed to behave as honor demanded. Othello, for example, is another case of honor killing. But they had more of denouncing that situation (there were lies, envy, hate… to make the husband kill the wife), that of defending it.

Normally there is no justification, morally, religiously or theologically speaking. It’s only in Islam where there is that sura about “if they (women) are disobedient, first reprimand them, then give them your back -that is, don’t have sex with them- and then beat them“. If the Quran could be interpreted considering the time it was written, this sura perhaps wouldn’t be applied today at all. But as the Quran should be applied as it was written, it is still applied.

Yes, that doesn’t justify directly honor killings. But considering the biologistic consideration of women in Islam and the enormous obssesion with women being impure creatures who only want sex and that can be actually harmful to family’s honor, this is a just a logical consequence.

Nora, decades ago the feminists were trying to tell us that [rejected word here -- it is "ape" with an "r" in front of it, to get past the automated censor] is a crime about power, not about sex. I think many if Islam’s rules regarding women are precisely this, threatening women with all kinds of mistreatment, from sexual assault at the hands of strangers if they wander out into the world, to sexual assault and abuse, including murder, at the hands of their own families. Never have I seen a group of people so systematically singled out for abuse as women in the Islamic world, with the exception of the Holocaust. And, if the men who mistreat women in the Islamic world did not need those women for sex and for reproduction, I would be afraid to see what would be happening to Muslim women. It will be interesting to see what happens one day the slaves of the Islamic world rise up against their tormentors.

It will be interesting to see what happens one day the slaves of the Islamic world rise up against their tormentors.

Well, will they really rise up some time? I see that probability very far away and meanwhile these crimes continue…

It is inevitable. God created us to be free. That is why we rebelled against Him. He also gave us the ability to find answers. That is why we will ultimately return to Him. And returning to Him means leaving the dysfunctional slavery we call the Religion of Peace.

The Hunter’s last blog post..Balochistan, Part 2

You really think it’s inevitable? I really believe there is nothing inevitable in this world. And there are people who don’t want freedom for anything. Yes, God’s created us free. But there are people who don’t even believe in God.

So I fear this is here for long…

They can believe or not believe whatever they want — that doesn’t change reality. And, sooner or later, reality comes crashing through the door of people’s dysfunctional lives.
