Honour Killings In America - Wave Of The Future

    Is this(muslim Hounor Killings) to become a more common trend, not just in the muslim dominated countries, but now in the West?

    If you’ve been following current events very closely for the past several years, you might be aware that Muslim “honor killings” are not just something that occurs in Middle Eastern countries. It happens in the United States. It doesn’t happen a lot, and the “mainstream” media is usually pretty hushed about it, but it is happening in frightening numbers, and you can find out about it if you look hard enough.
    Even the case of Rifqa Bary, the girl who ran away from home because she feared for her life after converting to Christianity, was more visible on the current events scene, but you’d have to really look for information about it.

    The attention level is beginning to change, however, and hopefully that will be a good thing for America. That is because radical Muslims, after a Western society has become “tolerant” of their more extreme beliefs, usually demands the recognition of Muslim practices such as Sharia Law. We don’t need Sharai law or honor killings in America.

    You’ll see in the first video below a brief expose about the honor killing of two sisters in Texas, Sarah Yaser Said, 17, and Amina Yaser Said, 18, in 2008

    You wont see Sharia law in the US, or the acceptance of so called honor killings. The law and its enforcement are taken very seriously over here.

    At some point I can see this happening in the UK or France, but not the US. The libtards haven't quite gotten a proper foot hold.

    France? The same people that kicked out Roma gypsies?

    Sharia law will never happen in the USA, and Europe.

    Aren't there just as many "honour killings" among other religions/cultures in and around the Indian subcontinent? I shall have to Google but it seems like the usual thing of focusing on the Muslims because there's no beef (literally :pac:) with the others who are doing it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,401 ✭✭✭Royal Irish


    Hindu religious figures in India called Khap's order honor killings for the same reasons they occur in Islamic countries. The Khap's are sometimes refered to as the Indian taliban.

    I'm tired of the same people spouting the same rhetoric. I wonder what the agenda is besides to expose the horrifying threat of Islam.

    If I gave credence to conspiracy theories I would make one up of my own. I would wonder whether a certain type of person was being wound up and used to disseminate anti-Muslim feeling through the different media. Hearing this type of argument often enough tends to give it a life of it's own. Then all that is needed to turn the ordinary person into a active anti-Muslimite is an incident like 9/11. Amazing how the UK have managed to stop such a thing happening in the UK very recently. I wonder how long it will take before they 'allow' one to happen in order to get the vast majority people firmly behind a Muslim cleansing pogram. :mad:

    Will I Godwinise the thread!

    Probably the part where you say muslim community.

    EDIT: Oh and thread is stupid. 'Honour killings' do unfortunately happen in the West amoungst certain ethnic communities but are punshed accordingly when discovered, they'll never be an 'accepted' thing and to think otherwise is moronic.

    Further edit: In fact I think they're usually punished in alot of muslim countries if discovered there as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,866 ✭✭✭irishconvert


    I'm a Muslim. So called "Honour Killings" are totally against the teachings of Islam. They are just plain murder.

    They are a cultural practise and not restricted to Muslims. They also occur in Sikh, Hindu and Christian (surprise surprise!) communities.

    And please note that the OP, old_aussie, has a history of making anti-Muslim posts on this forum. He has admitted in the past that he just doesn't like Muslims so anything he posts should be taken with a pinch of salt.

    Of course as per usual you leave out facts, due to your pretty well known hatred of Muslims:
    Law enforcement investigations

    Rifqa Bary was taken into custody by Florida child welfare authorities while an investigation was conducted. The court appointed attorneys for her parents: private practitioner Craig McCarthy for the mother, and a lawyer from the state Florida Regional Council for the father.[15] The Florida Department of Law Enforcement report states that they found no credible evidence of physical or verbal abuse.[2] In the report, Bary's father states that he did pick up his daughter's laptop to throw it, but did not throw it due to the cost of the laptop.[2] The FDLE report also listed several statements by Rifqa Bary which were not supported by evidence.[2] Rifqa Bary stated to them that her father did not know about the true nature of her cheerleading, but the FDLE report states that pictures of her in uniform were prominently displayed in the family's home. Furthermore, Mr. Bary gave permission when Mrs. Bary would not.[2] Rifqa Bary stated that a teacher offered her refuge due to the abuse she suffered. The FDLE report states that the teacher was unaware of any abuse and was concerned about parties with alcohol consumption - purchased with a fake ID - which were thrown by Bary's brother, Rilvan, when their parents were away.[2] The FDLE report also stated that they did not investigate anyone in the larger Ohio Muslim community and that Florida authorities relied in part on the investigation done by authorities in Ohio.[2]. The FDLE report has been criticized by John Guandolo, a former FBI agent writing for the Center for Security Policy who said that under Islamic law apostasy is a capital offense.[2][16] The FDLE responded that it had conducted a "thorough investigation."[2]

    On September 14, 2009, a Florida court ruled that it found no credible evidence that Bary's life or well-being had been threatened by her family.[2][5][6] On October 13, 2009, Orange County (Florida) Judge Daniel P. Dawson ruled that he would return Bary to Ohio pending a settlement of her immigration status.[14] Emergency custody continues in Ohio.[10] Two items that Bary's parents did not release to the police were her diary and her journal entries.[citation needed]

    I know it Wikipedia, but they do link the various News articles. So her family were cleared in court of the various claims made about them. Perhaps you need to read some proper sources, that have facts about cases, as opposed to a bunch of made up bull****.

    Ah, it's Muslim-bashing o'clock again!

    Honour killings isn't solely a Muslim thing, lots of scumbags from other ethnic and religious backgrounds do this. It ain't exactly welcomed with open arms by most communities.

    Some African communities are brutal for this when they perform "Necklacing"; putting a tyre over a victims head, filled with petrol and then setting it on fire.







    Wait a minute...............I don't have a watch.............

    I'm a Muslim. So called "Honour Killings" are totally against the teachings of Islam.
    I find that muslims claim a lot of stuff in the name Allah, of being muslim, etc, etc. They usually do so to try to retain their "good family name" or some other bullsh|t. Back in the day, Irish people sent their daughters off to be a nun if they got preggers, but as there was so real news back then, I'd say a few of them involuntarily committed suicide as well. Throughput the ages, people have done things in the name of religion, when they don't want to do the time for the sh|t that they've done.

    For the most case, people do get arrested for honour killings in Afghanistan, etc, but some are released due to lack of evidence that they had actually carried out the killing.

    As repetitive as it sounds, it stands for "liberal retard." A libtard wants to live in a fantasy world (in which life is the way that they WISH IT WAS) as opposed to dealing with life the way it actually is. (This explains the religious fervor that many of them demonstrate when it comes to smoking pot). The most idealistic libtard envisions a time when science/technology and Socialism will eliminate all poverty, hunger, war, disease, injustice, unemployment and prejudice. (It is a nice pipe dream but human nature will forever stand in the way of that goal). Most libtards subscribe to the notion that "people are basically good", and build their foundation for activism and "improving the human condition" on that faulty premise. Because they deny the facts about human nature, their "reasoning" is diametrically opposite to common sense (blue states vs. red states). The reality that people have different initiative levels, are basically selfish, and often work for their own interests before helping others, puts a libtard's panties in a wad. So, when citizens will not voluntarily comply with various libtard prescriptions for "the common good", then laws must be passed, or force used, to MAKE them comply. (It is the gradual path to totalitarianism). Likewise, his/her naïve cries of: "can't we all just get along...

    A combination of 'Liberal' and 'Retard.'

    A libtard holds extreme liberal beliefs based on little more than what he or she wants to hear. Most information received will be internally filtered or even changed into something that better fits into their liberal worldview.

    A libtard will often have the same attitudes and pigheadedness of an extreme conservative, and neither side seems to understand the irony.
    Jimmy is a libtard. He believes everything documentaries like Farenheit 9/11 say, because it sounds like what he wants to believe.

    So, its ok to ignore the Hindu, Christian, Sikh etc victims of honour killings for the sole purpose to make Muslims look bad? Claiming that Muslims are the only ones who do this, btw isn't criticism, it is a lie, and people have every right to point that out, whether you like it or not.

    Also, I already pointed out the issue with the Rifqa Bary case mentioned, where no evidence was found to support the claims against her family, but let not allow facts to get in the way of things, right?

    Finally, the article starts talking about Sharia law, as if there is actually a serious threat of it being implement in the US, and no proof is of course provided to back up this claim as per usual.

    Honour killings are horrible crimes, but to purposefully ignore all the other victims of this kind of violence to stir up hatred against one community is pretty low imho.

    Also, I already pointed out the issue with the Rifqa Bary case mentioned, where no evidence was found to support the claims against her family, but let not allow facts to get in the way of things, right?

    Finally, the article starts talking about Sharia law, as if there is actually a serious threat of it being implement in the US, and no proof is of course provided to back up this claim as per usual.

    Honour killings are horrible crimes, but to purposefully ignore all the other victims of this kind of violence to stir up hatred against one community is pretty low imho.


    First of all, i dont know where you get the idea i think it is only muslims practising honour killings.

    Then, i think all killings are bad enough but if religion, any religion, starts to play a part in it it brings it to the next level imo. Whether that is a killing in name of <fill in your religion of choice> or because the user guide of said religion says it is the proper punishment for a certain event.
