DarkJeddi:
Lies.
Everything is rooted in Islam.
Just because you don't practice it doesn't it's not religious.

Honor killing is not Islamic.
It is cultural.

Here’s the clear breakdown:


---

✅ 1. Islam does not permit honor killings

In Islamic law:

Killing someone without legal due process is strictly forbidden.

The Qur’an states that killing an innocent person is like “killing all of humanity.”

Personal revenge, including “honor-based” violence, has no religious basis.


Adultery or moral misconduct cannot be punished by individuals.
Only a legitimate court with strict evidence standards can judge such cases — and these standards are so strict that vigilantism is impossible to justify.

Scholars across the Muslim world unanimously reject honor killings as un-Islamic.


---

✅ 2. Honor killings are a pre-Islamic tribal cultural practice

Honor-based violence exists in:

Middle Eastern non-Muslim communities

South Asian Hindu/Sikh communities

Some Christian groups in the Mediterranean

Tribal and clan-based societies worldwide


This shows it is not tied to any one religion, but rather to patriarchal cultural norms, especially in rural or tribal societies where:

Family reputation > individual rights

Women are controlled through social pressure

Community honor is enforced through violence


These norms existed long before Islam and continue in some areas despite Islamic teachings, not

They killed her because they are extremists and not because they are Muslims. Unfortunately, there are more Muslim extremists and it will take a lifetime to reorientate and groom them into becoming humans.

GAZADEYPARA:
I'm a Muslim but I don't believe what they did is a doctrine of Islam

Godfullsam:
Wish one be 'honour killing' again

Who are they honouring abeg.

It's like once you join that religion your common sense disappears.

But then, there are Muslims in my region - the SW and even in my family who have no traces of that kind of behaviours.

It then makes me wonder if it has to do with religion or characters/natures

PigTormentor:
Moomoo, honor killings among some Arabs is not Islam but their barbaric tradition. I'm sure some Igbos do the same thing if a gilr brings dishonor to the family. Is that Christian tradition?

stuffs2002:
The writer is only being malicious and mischievous because there is nothing in Islam that allows killing of relatives for any reason.
Why is the writer not talking about the nuns that committed genocide in Rwanda and link it to Chrsitianity

NOETHNICITY:
There is nothing like honor killing in Islam

Your desperation to make Islam look bad is sickening

Surah Al-Baqarah - 191-193



Kill them wherever you come upon them1 and drive them out of the places from which they have driven you out. For persecution2 is far worse than killing. And do not fight them at the Sacred Mosque unless they attack you there. If they do so, then fight them—that is the reward of the disbelievers.

Dancebreaker:
Culture is a big part. In some parts of the world, culture and religion have been almost merged together, making it hard to know which is which. It appears that ancient local cultures that religion found acceptable became subsumed by religion. So, local variations exist. What is normal in one area may not be the practice in other places with the same religion.

SeriouslySense:
Yes, because they believe woman can be influenced by the man to change her religion, so woman are not allowed to marry non Muslims, while the men are allowed, because they believe the man cannot be influenced to change the religion.
