Proud (Musel-)Man Guns Down Six Daughters

Six of ‘em. All in a day. I wonder if he got his mullah’s nod of approval before he did it or if allah told him to do ‘the right thing’……

Pakistan: Muslim murders six daughters in honor killing
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2011/07/pakistan-muslim-murders-six-daughters-in-honor-killing.html


“He does not regret what he did. He boasted that he would do it all over again if he had to.”

It is no accident or coincidence that Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide ( http://www.meforum.org/2646/worldwide-trends-in-honor-killings ). A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.” (‘Umdat al-Salik o1.1-2). In other words, someone who kills his child incurs no legal penalty under Islamic law.

Syria in 2009 scrapped a law ( http://www.jihadwatch.org/2009/07/after-an-increase-of-wife-killings-on-the-pretext-of-adultery-syria-allows-for-tougher-penalties-for.html ) 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 ( http://english.aljazeera.net/archive/2003/09/2008410102158508644.html ) reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.”

Nonetheless, the media drumbeat is constant: honor killings have nothing to do with Islam. And as long as that continues, we will see more and more murders like this one.




Honour killings: Man guns down six daughters,” from The Express Tribune, July 27:

A man gunned down six of his daughters on suspicion that two of them were in relationships with boys in the neighbourhood.On Tuesday morning, Arif Mubashir called his teenage daughters to his room and shot them while the rest of the family, including their mother, watched. His wife Musarrat called the police after the incident.

Mubashir shot the girls after their brother said two of them were in a relationship. He told police officials that he had killed his daughters because they were both “without honour”. The man said his daughters Sameena, 14, and Razia, 16, were in a relationship with college boys from the neighbourhood and the sisters had helped each other. “I should have been told immediately but the girls sided with each other. They were both corrupt,” Mubashir told Tandlianwala Police Inspector Javed Sial.

Police officials have taken Mubashir into custody and filed a case against him. “He does not regret what he did. He boasted that he would do it all over again if he had to,” Sial told reporters.

Pakistan has repeatedly been termed as one of the least women-friendly countries. In June, the Thompson Reuters Foundation ranked Pakistan as the world’s third most dangerous country for women.
