When it comes to hypocrisy and wickedness, they’re number 1… The only diff between them and the other calamity religion is that Muslim tends to do their wickedness openly!

They’re both into killings and destruction.

Don't mind them and their hypocrisy. They like to carry religion for head like Gala. Even tho Nairaland and their mods promote Islamiphobia steady.

Can you just shut up ?... Devilish being

pillager:
Same news you reported noted that he was arrested? Why was he arrested, why are you blaming Islam for this.

Do you have no shame?

Bring evidence where in Islam honour killings is permitted.

May Allah humiliate you in this life and the next for this propaganda you're spreading if you don't repent.

How much worse crimes Isrealis have committed that you have reported.

How are you even allowed to post outright misinformation, honour killings are not permitted in Islam, bring evidence if you think it is permitted.

This is the real face of Islam, and some people reckon we should all just keep shut and not slag it off or call them out. Now this is the same brutal practice in Islam that guy was always criticizing about before he got assassinated hours ago.

Any sane person would steer clear of anything that tells you to stop your own daughter just for not toeing the line with some random piece of paper. This should be classed as a mental health issue, and anyone who subscribes to this extremist malarkey should be locked up or better still given the death sentence, sharpish.

Get rid of this rubbish from your society before it becomes a headache!

American do worse to their women but you won't say this because you have hatred for Islam, rubbish Jew ass licker!

As of now, over 1,000 women are killed each year in Pakistan at the hands of community or family members.

What's this has to do with religion?.

Don't you have this types of silly killings in Nigeria daily?
Girl friends kill boyfriends vis a vis everyday in Nigeria. Husbands kill wives. Wives kill husbands in Nigeria over slight argument. How is this killing different from senseless killings in Nigeria?

Let's just say you can't help yourself with islamophic tendencies, right?

Nigga what strawmanning shit is this, we are talking about honour killings don't shift goal post.


Dumb ass nigga, In the Quran Allah urges his creation to use their sense of reasoning, ponder but here you are.
If I ask you about Trinity you'll start saying rubbish.


There are no idols in the ka'aba, or do you have evidence for this, bring it.

And may Allah hold you accountable on the day of judgement for this statement you made against prophet Muhammad (SAW).



Who dey supply you?



Google safest countries in the world, you lying piece of shit.

How does it even make any common sense to you to judge a religion by its adherents action.
Have you used your brain for once and thought this killings this Muslim did, is it permitted where's the evidence in Islam for it, is it so hard?


Nigeria is doing better than Saudi, Kuwait, Bahrain, Maldives.
Dumb ass nigger



Aren't you literally worshipping Jesus?

Do you want me to bring 18+ contents from the bible.

Was that from the teachings of Jesus-- the fulfillmemt of the Law and the Prophets?

Is that what Jesus came to preach?

Did he not forgive the woman caught in adultery or the robber hanging on the cross?

If Jesus came to show the true intent of God, why would he make an about-turn and start murdering and pilaging again?

When his disciples wanted to call down fire on people for rejecting them, he told them they had wrong spirits.


Show me where the Apostles ordered the killing of people who left the faith-- and some did.

Or why wasn't Peter executed for denying Jesus.

If Judaism could have solved the problem of sin, Jesus wouldn't have come.
If the Old Testament was the final solution, where women were stoned for adultery, Jesus wouldn't have come...


But no, you claim a murderous Mohammed is the final messenger...
How?

How can the one before him preach forgiveness, love, peace...whilst telling people that their resort to violence was because of the states of their hearts, then suddenly the final message is about killing, stoninng and beheading again.

Does it make sense to you?

Mohammed is no different to the false prophets/ cult leaders of today.

It is only a cult that will kill you if you choose to leave.

You are no different from or the Cartel.

Bondage religion

pillager:
I challenge you, bring evidence where honour killings is allowed in Islam. Go on

Evidence from where? You're asking poster to produce what doesn't exist. If a person chooses to be mumu, just ignore them and let them wallow in their stupidity. Maybe you don't know that this sort of brainless falsehood is, ironically, what's drawing people to Islam, making it the fastest growing religion today across the world. As evildoers plot, God has His plans: When they fabricate baseless allegations against Islam, more and more non-Muslims become curious about the religion and are prompted to study the religion. When they get to know the true teachings of Islam by themselves, as against the falsehood being propagated against the religion, especially by people of a particular faith, God opens their hearts to the truth. That's the reason for the unprecedented reversion to Islam today, a situation that's fuelling more anger, hatred and false propaganda among islamaphobes, but light will always overcome darkness.

In 2023 alone over 3,000 women were murdered in cold blood in the United States of America.

What can be responsible for such act of killings in the United States of America?!

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1388777/murder-victims-in-the-us-by-gender

Check how many women are killed in Nigeria while ure checking the US. Let's compare even Nigeria will hide real numbers due to lack of accountability and transparency but it will still be higher than US.

What of some hadith that supports killing of woman if they commit some minor crime. Or you will tell me that hadith is not part of islam ☪️ author=Softmirror post=133941028]

Pakistan is an extract from Indian, Indians by culture have no regard for women. They rape and murder women without remorse. It's an underlining culture. Else this crime of killing women would be so profound in Saudi Arabia, Dubai, even Nigeria in all Muslim dominated countries. But such is very particular with Pakistan.

If there is a verse in the Quran that instructs killing of women please share it to the world.[/quote]

I really don't understand what gives Islamists the impression they kill for Allah or that Allah pats them on the back for murder.

It beats my imagination

Of course, it will come with state approval.

Na time!

Section 275(1)
Establishment of Sharia Courts: This section states that there shall be a Sharia Court of Appeal for any state that requires it. This provision allows states in Nigeria to establish their own Sharia Courts to handle matters in accordance with Islamic law.

Section 277(1)
Jurisdiction of Sharia Courts: This section outlines that the Sharia Court of Appeal of a state shall have jurisdiction over matters that may be conferred upon it by state law, in addition to any other jurisdiction specified. This means that the court can handle various legal issues as defined by the laws of the state.

These sections reflect the constitutional framework that accommodates the establishment and functioning of Sharia Courts in Nigeria, particularly in states where Islamic law is practiced.

I can show you from the Bible!

If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid. Deuteronomy 21:18-21

This is the bare face of islam, threats, intimidation, chaos, Murder, etc


Honor Killing is Islamic! It is, therefore, absolutely vital to expose the lie propagated by Muslims that Honor Killing is not Islamic. Honor Killing is not only Islamic but it is also deeply entrenched in the teachings of the Qur’an. Islamic sources themselves provide abundant evidences to substantiate the fact that Honor Killing is sanctioned in its theology. We will provide irrefutable evidences to prove how the Qur’an nurtures and grooms the Muslim mind to murder in the name of Honor.

Honor Killing is the shocking murder committed by Muslim family members. The perpetrators in every case are related to the victim. Honor Killing is a family collaboration. And the victim is either the sister or daughter or other closely related woman. The crime is usually carried out by the fathers, brothers or uncles of the victims. However, mothers have also participated in Honor Killing. The victim is often killed in a cold-blooded manner. These barbaric killings are executed for the single purpose of saving the honor of the family. Honor Killing is a manifestation of a global phenomenon among Muslims.

The term Honor Killing is an insult to the victims. There is no honor in murder. We use this term simply for the purpose of identifying the Islamic origin of this crime. The primary purpose of this article is to alert those who are ignorant of Islam. Many are unaware of the fact that Honor Killing is based on the teachings of Allah in the Qur’an. Many are also unaware that Islam sanctions murder to maintain the family’s honor. This is as evil as it can get. Please read this article carefully. Share it with those you know. Use it to educate your family and friends. It may save a life. Silence in the face of evil is evil itself.

Provided below is a list of actions or behavior that could lead to Honor Killing in Islam:

Speaking with an unrelated male.
Engaging in extra-marital affairs.
Not submitting to a forced marriage arrangement.
Making personal choice in marriage.
Becoming an unfortunate victim of rape.
Pre-marital loss of virginity. Or even rumors regarding such behavior.
Wife who wants to leave her abusive husband.
Engaging socially with other communities.
Adopting a Western lifestyle

All these acts are supposed to stain the honor of the family. Therefore, family members protect the family’s honor by eliminating the cause of the stain permanently. The mere suspicion that a woman has behaved in a way that dishonors her family is sufficient to warrant an attack on her life. Of course, the above given reasons for Honor Killing are only a partial list. They are by no means exhaustive. Some conservative Muslims even consider very trivial acts as dishonorable behavior.

Killers are often given light sentences, sometimes with little or no jail term at all. In fact, in Islamic countries such as Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Jordan, Syria, Libya, Kuwait, Yemen, Lebanon, Egypt, Sudan, Gaza Strip, Tunisia, Pakistan, Nigeria and Somalia, little or no action is taken against the criminals. Since the justification for the cold-blooded murder is based on the teachings of the Qur’an and the Hadith, Islamic courts cannot prosecute the killers without taking a prior stand against Islam. Family members will defend their action by saying that they are merely following the directions provided in the ethical teachings of Islam.

Additionally, committing homicides in the name of honor is legally recognized and enshrined in the Islamic Sharia Law. As a result, Muslims are sanctioned to murder their loved ones legally in the name of honor. Article 340 of the Jordanian Penal Code states:

“He who catches his wife, or one of his female un-lawfully committing adultery with another, and he kills, wounds, or injures both of them, is excused and benefits from an exemption from penalty.”

Provisions such as Article 340 exist in the Penal Code of many Arab countries. Therefore, women are unable to access justice from the legal system of many Arab nations since killing in the name of honor is articulated in the Penal Code as a valid defense for murder. Thus, Honor Killing stands as a serious barrier for justice in the Muslim world. This Islamic verdict completely ignores every one of the provisions established for the safeguard of women in Article 2 (c) of the United Nations Declaration on the “Elimination of Violence against Women.”

As usual, Muslim apologists argue that Honor Killing is a cultural vice and, therefore, it is not Islamic. This claim is a blatant lie. Muslims lie to cover the shame of this evil practice that is clearly sanctioned in Islam. If the phenomenon of Honor Killing is just a continuance of a pre-Islamic cultural practice of the Arabs, then Honor Killing would be confined only amongst the Arab Muslims. However, Honor Killing is practiced extensively by Muslims who are not Arabs culturally. For example, Honor Killing is a common occurrence in countries like Pakistan which is a non-Arabic country. It has been reported that in Pakistan and Jordan several hundreds of Honor Killings occur every year. How is it possible for non-Arabic countries to adopt this evil practice if it is truly cultural? And why is this practice confined only among the Muslims of these non-Arabic countries? If the cultural argument is true, then why is Islam unable to stop the influence of this pre-Islamic evil practice among its worshippers?

The truth of the matter is that Islam incorporated many inhumane and uncivilized practices of the ancient pagan society into its religious framework. These practices are now recognized as the laws of Allah. Allah legalized these practices in the Qur’an and became instrumental in spreading these barbaric practices globally in the name of Islam. Also, if it is cultural, why is this barbaric act not practiced by the Arab Christians? Why is this heinous act confined only to the Arab Muslims? Only Muslims practice Honor Killing because it gets its support and encouragement from the teachings of Islam.

QUR’ANIC VERSES THAT SANCTION HONOR KILLING

Let us now consider how the teachings of the Qur’an incite Honor Killing:

Surah 4:15: “If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, take the evidence of four reliable witness from amongst you against them; if they testify, confine them to houses until death do claim them. Or God ordain for them some other way.” (Yusuf Ali)

In the above Qur’anic verse, Allah gives the family head the authority to imprison for life the women of his household whom he believes to be “guilty of lewdness.” Therefore, the Qur’an authorizes Muslims to take the law into their own hands and punish those whom they believe to be “guilty of lewdness.” The life-long house arrest enforced on those who are judged as being “guilty of lewdness” is actually a form of capital punishment. The authorization of Allah to imprison a woman until she dies is in reality Honor Killing on the installment. The enforcement of these punishments is usually carried out by the father, thus elevating him to the position of the law. Failure to do so will bring shame upon him in the eyes of the Muslim community. Therefore, he is compelled to act to remove that shame. However, the authorization for Muslims to act as executioners of punishment is not limited to imprisonment only.

Surah 4:89: They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing as they: But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah from what is forbidden. But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever you find them.” (Yusuf Ali)

According to the Qur’an, those who renegade after becoming Muslims should be seized and killed. It is a must by the divine laws of Allah. The following Hadith substantiates this ruling of Allah:

Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 260:

Narrated Ikrima: Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn ‘Abbas, who said, “Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, ‘Do not punish anybody with Allah’s Punishment.’ No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, ‘If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.’

The killing of apostates is sanctioned in Islam. The greatest threat to apostates in the Muslim world comes not from the ruling authorities but from private individuals. It is the duty of all faithful Muslims to execute apostates. Once again, we can see that Allah has given individual Muslims the right to act as executioners. They are given the right to carry out the penalty of death. A good Muslim is one who acts as Judge, Jury and Executioner for the cause of Allah. In Islam, not only Muslims who leave their religion are considered as apostates but also those whose behavior goes contrary to the teachings of the Qur’an. Muhammad even had a man executed for merely consuming alcohol. And he established the following Islamic law.

Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 38, Number 4467:

Narrated Mu’awiyah ibn AbuSufyan: The Prophet said: If they (the people) drink wine, flog them, again if they drink it, flog them. Again if they drink it, kill them.

Thus, Muslims who act contrary to the teachings of Islam are endangering themselves of being viewed as apostates. In some cases, even very minor infractions such as a young woman’s refusal to wear the Islamic headscarf or desiring to wear makeup may result in Honor Killing. Therefore, even discarding the Islamic dress code can be dangerous for some. Many young women were killed just for wanting to conform to a Western lifestyle. (Chester, Phyllis: “Worldwide Trends in Honor Killings.” p. 6.)

Muslim perpetrators of Honor Killing do not recognize a woman’s right to autonomy over her own body. Islam does not consider a woman’s body as her personal possession but the property of her father, husband or other male relatives. In spite of overwhelming evidences, most people fail to recognize that Islam has much to do with the practice of Honor Killing. We cannot find a single verse in the Qur’an prohibiting this evil practice?

There is an interesting account in the Qur’an which lays the theological groundwork for Honor Killing in Islam. It narrates about the encounter of Moses with a mysterious servant of Allah who is gifted with special knowledge and with the ability to foresee the future. As such, he does things which do not seem to make sense initially, but are then justified by the explanation he provides later. One such action by the servant of Allah is the murdering of a youth for no apparent reason. However, he justified the murder by later explaining to Moses that it was feared that the boy would grow up to “grieve” his parents through “disobedience and ingratitude.” Therefore, the youth was killed so that Allah could replace the parents with a “better son.” Let us read this account directly from the Qur’an. Only the relevant quote from the Qur’an is cited here in the following verses:

Surah 18:65-81: “Then they found one from among Our servants whom We had granted mercy from Us and whom We had taught knowledge from Ourselves. Moses said to him: Shall I follow you on condition that you should teach me right knowledge of what you have been taught? He said: Surely you cannot have patience with me and how can you have patience in that of which you have not got a comprehensive knowledge? Moses said: If Allah pleases, you will find me patient and I shall not disobey you in any matter. He said: If you would follow me, then do not question me about anything until I myself speak to you about it.”

“So they went on until, when they met a boy, he slew him. Moses said: Have you slain an innocent person otherwise than for manslaughter? Certainly you have done an evil thing. He said: Did I not say to you that you will not be able to have patience with me? Moses said: If I ask you about anything after this, keep me not in your company; indeed you shall have then found an excuse in my case.”

“He said: This shall be separation between me and you; now I will inform you of the significance of that with which you could not have patience.”

“And as for the boy, his parents were believers and we feared lest he should make disobedience and ingratitude to come upon them: So we desired that their Lord might give them in his place one better than him in purity and nearer to having compassion.” (Shakir)

These Qur’anic verses lay the foundation for Honor Killing. They show explicitly that the mere perception that the child would grow up to commit disobedience and ingratitude in the future is sufficient enough to justify the killing of an innocent child. The Qur’anic verses go even further by saying that Allah would provide the parents with a better son than the one killed. The Qur’an reveals that it is of no consequence to Allah if a child is murdered for fear of becoming un-Islamic. Parents who lose such a child through murder will be rewarded. This is the basis for the justification of Honor Killing in Islam.

Let us analyze this account a little further. The servant of Allah feared that the boy would grow up to bring dishonor and shame on his family, hence the preemptive murder. Just think! This servant of Allah did not even wait for the actual act of dishonor to be carried out before killing the boy. There is no such thing as “innocent until proven guilty” in Islam. And Moses had to learn “right knowledge” from this preemptive murderer. Islam’s values are warped!

Since the servant of Allah was gifted with special knowledge to look into the future, he killed the boy before he could actually dishonor his parents. However, since ordinary Muslims do not possess special gifts of any kind, they would not know how a child would turn out in the future. Hence, they have to wait until they perceive some kind of misconduct that they could judge as bringing dishonor to the family. And then they have the divine right to eliminate the child. The above Qur’anic verses authorize parents that if they have sufficient reasons to believe that their child is deviating from the religion of Allah, they can murder that child with Allah’s blessing. Like Moses, they too have to learn “right knowledge” from Allah’s pre-emptive murderer.
