Honor killing

It's a shame this still happens in some places. Luckily, most Muslims will agree with you that this practice needs to be abolished.
 
If they are so eager to follow Islamic law, perhaps the man who shot at her should be buried neck deep and then stoned to death in front of his village.
 
At least this can't be blamed on Islam. This is completely a cultural phenomenon. I'm not saying it's right, but if someone wants to start a "muslim" thread, they can look elsewhere.

True...Honor killings happen mainly in Middle-Eastern nations with strong tribal roots and in India amongst some secs of Hindus and Sikhs. It is very rare if non-existent in Asian or Sub-Saharan African Muslim cultures. In Brazil and Colombia killing your wife was considered to be a non-criminal act until respectively the early 80's and 90's when it was criminalize. In Hati it's still pardonable to kill your wife if you catch her in the act of having sex with another man.

are there any good heart warming stories coming out of Muslim nations?
 
Good for the girl (to have survived) but seriously, wtf is up with those bullets? And how does someone convincingly 'play dead' while being brutally kicked, as mentioned in the article?

She sounds like one tough woman.

What the hell kind of skull does she have for bullets to shatter on impact?

Not sure, but suprised that she wasn't knocked out from the concussion, regardless of the round used.

I see the Islamic Supremacist apologists arrived.

Amina Said and her sister Sarah might have disagreed with you, if Islam Said didn't kill them in Texas. Must have been totally cultural eh? Ideology having noting to do with why the violent supremacist cancer spreads to our land?

Also, it?s safe harbor and fostering couldn?t have anything to do with your fervent defense of it eh?

Cilture and religion are not seperate things. Religion is a part of culture, not seperate from it. While I can appreciate where you are going with this, this cultural phenomen is derived from Islam, a perverse interpretation of it, but of it none-the-less. There was a time when christians burned or drowned women accused of witchery, a cultural phenomenon derived from a perverse interpretation of christianity.

I'd love to believe that. But when video's of girls being ambushed by hundreds of muslim men then stoned to death in public because she dishonored her family. I think we as a world and they as a religion need to wake the eff up.

btw the one incident I am speaking of, the family, yes, the family lied to her to get her to come back so this ambush could take place.

"They as a religion" makes no sense, as the fact that it's terrible grammar should indicate. Clearly SOME people have taken their religion to mean support for this kind of BS, but a much larger group of Muslims have not. So I'd say the problem is with the backwards idiots, not with "Islam". That's the problem with religion, it can't "wake the eff up", or stone people to death, or NOT stone people to death. Religion has absolutely no barrier to entry, anyone can profess to be an adherent of the religion and justify anything they like with it...that doesn't mean we should go after other "believers" who aren't behaving in a violently anti-social manner.

You seem to think "Islamic Supremacist" is one big word instead of two separate words. Except religion isn't one big homogeneous thing, there are good people and bad people of all religious faiths or no faith at all. I see no problem with going after the bad people and leaving the good people alone even if they happen to claim to pray to the same God. There is no conflict in wanting to end violent Islamic supremacist beliefs while accepting and embracing non-radical Muslims...just as there is no conflict in objecting to Christian fundamentalists in the US trying to force religion on everyone while having no problem with the more moderate Christians (no, I'm not comparing the two radical groups).

True to an extent, but if the culture is so pervasive within a certain group, you truly have to wonder why? What is it about a certain group that foments this sort of behavior. In other communities or groups, this type of behavior would end in the assailant being torn to pieces.

You get the audience that you deserve is a statement that comes to mind.

Honour killings have nothing to do with Islam. Infact they are strictly forbidden and would equate to murder.

I agree that this happens frequently, but it's not as if the same doesn't happen to Catholics (the preist/altar boy scandal) and Christians in general (abortion clinic bombings).

People use the basic premise that the apple never falls far from the tree. And they're wrong, in this article as well as in the idea that all Preists are pedophiles, and all pro-lifers arsonists.

That's a good point, obviously by the community standards here it's allowed if we're talking about Christians, the US Military, the police, etc... but god forbid we discuss a story that paints some Muslims in a bad light...
