Islamic Republic of Pakistan: 108 women murdered for honor in 2019 in one province alone FEB 4, 2020 4:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER 6 COMMENTS

Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law 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 reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.”

Until the encouragement Islamic law gives to honor killing is acknowledged and confronted, more women will suffer.

“108 women in Sindh ‘killed for honour’ in 2019 alone: police report,” by Imtiaz Ali, Dawn, January 31, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

As many as 108 women fell victim to ‘honour killings’ in Sindh over the past year, according to a police report released on Friday.

The report, compiled by the police, recorded statistics from January 31, 2019 to January 30, 2020. According to the report, 126 people, who were suspected of being involved in the ‘honour killings’, had been arrested. Challans of 81 cases pertaining to ‘honour killings’ were presented in courts while 32 are still being investigated.

The courts are hearing 73 cases of the crime, while three have been thrown out.

Over the same period, 132 women were murdered for different reasons, the report said, adding that 174 suspects had been arrested. Police had presented challans in 87 of the cases, while 42 were still under investigation. In six cases, police were unable to find any evidence, the report said.

Out of the cases brought to courts, six were dismissed, while 75 are being heard.

Three cases of acid attacks on women were registered with the police, in which two suspects had been arrested. One case is still being investigated while the other two are being heard by the court.

Furthermore, 1,158 cases of kidnapping of girls were registered with the police, out of which 249 were closed after it was found that the women had married of their own free will. Police arrested 550 suspects and 358 cases are being heard by courts.

Another 466 cases were still being probed by the police. In 26 kidnapping cases, no leads had been found while 20 others were declared ‘fake’.

Police also recorded 128 cases of physical torture against women over the past year and arrested 136 suspects. The challans of 72 cases were submitted in courts, while 45 cases were under investigation. About 64 cases are being heard by the courts.

One case remains unsolved as police were unable to find evidence, while 14 were dismissed.

At least 95 cases of rape of women were registered over the past year, out of which 40 were being probed. Police admitted to have failed to make any headway in one case, while they also claimed to have arrested 92 suspects and presented challans of 42 cases in court, 37 of which are being heard….

The report also states that 41 cases of criminal assault of boys were also recorded by the police, out of which 18 are still under investigation. Police had taken 58 people into custody over suspicion of involvement

I recently read of some muzzard 'activist' blaming the US for 'the rampant poverty of much of Pakistan'. So I guess we are responsible for this as well. No, wait, the muzzards consider this to be highly to be praised and most honorable. So I guess we can't be tagged for 'honor killings'.

"Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide"

What are the other 9%? I thought Islam was the only religion screwed up enough where you actually gain honor by murdering women.

This is the perfect example what drives PDJT from withholding aid to these 7th century barbarians.

Not enough MOABs in our arsenal to deal with them, starve them out like rats.

Koran does not tolerate non-believers of the prophet Mohammad. Non-believers are called “kaffirs” and must be converted to Islam or else destroyed. It is not complicated.
