Honour killings. Why do they do it?


Recommended Posts

I read an article in Glamour magazine the other day, which made me weep. I cant provide a link as the article isnt replicated on the site.

 

It was about a Muslim girl who came from Libya to the UK to study. She made a few friends and was invited to a party- where she was gang-raped by 3 Muslim men and 1 Muslim woman. She pressed charges and now is in hiding as her own brother has ordered her death and her family and people from her Muslim community are seeking to kill her, as she's brought "shame" on them. I think this is appalling. She was viciously raped and yet she is the one that has to suffer.

 

This happens everyday- there was a story earlier this year of a girl found stuffed in a suitcase in Birmingham

I just had to say something to bring this issue to light. Sadly it seems that nothing can be done to stop it. I simply cannot understand how killing your beloved child or sister can restore honour to the family.

Your asking for trouble starting a thread like this.

Your either a racist or just anti-muslim if you say anything other than how peacful a religion they are.

As for killing a family member bringing some kind of honour back.

Well my opinion is they are just a backward and barbaric if they think that it will.

How true, freedom of speech unless you paint the muslim relgion in less than glowing light

This must be one of the few posts concerning Muslims that has not attracted the usual crowd,I wonder if its something to do with the fact that the barbarity is well documented and unexplainable.

 

You may have something there. Still, even if they dont activly join this thread im sure they have enough clout between them to get it closed.

if her brother has ordered her death he should be locked up .the problem is , as in rome do as the romans do . if in england please yourself and make your own laws and judicial system . i dont blame the muslims i blame the britsh legal system which seems affraid to impliment the laws to anyone non christian.
