Freethought Nation

I want all the men involved in these murders of women and girls to be promptly executed. This is not tolerable; we must wipe out the culprits. This is not culture; it is a crime: A crime against all humanity!

It is not only muslems that like to physically brutalise people. In Australia there is a group of primitive desert dwellers (sound familia?) who have a thing called 'pay back' where there they can operate outside normal Australian law and injure, bash & kill each other to make things right.

It is a tragedy, a horror, a crime against humanity. The details of the murders are atrocious, women beheaded, burned to death, stabbed, electrocuted, strangled and buried alive for the “honour” of their families.

20,000 Women a year are murdered in the name of honour
19; this is the age of Shawbo Ali she was taken by her family to a picnic in Dokan, Iraq. She was shot seven times. Their reasoning? They found an unfamiliar number in her phone.
73% of females know the main or only offender in the offence. 48% were killed by their partner, ex-partner, or lover.
12; The age of this young girl hung from a tree in her front yard by her parents.

Their reasons Tradition and religion. A woman who had been raped brings shame to her family just as she would when engaging in a consensual relationship. "A woman raped shames the community and dishonours the man, although it doesn’t dishonour the rapist", according to a charged honour killer.

What is honour?

Honour is the evaluation of a person's trustworthiness and social status based on that individual's actions. Honour is deemed exactly what determines a person's character: whether or not the person reflects honesty, respect, integrity, or fairness.

How about a 13 year-old in Somalia, who in front of a thousand people, was dragged to a hole in the ground whilst screaming, “I’m not going, don’t kill me” she was then buried up to her neck and stoned by 50 men for adultery. After 10 minutes, she was dug up, found to be still alive and put back in the hole for further stoning. Her crime? She had been raped by three men.

Think about it. Imagine living everyday like its your last. You don’t want to look at someone the wrong way or even smile at another man, because who knows you could be next.

What honour?
There are millions of women living, praying for the day they can somewhat live a life where they will be treated like 21st century human beings. Where they will have the freedom of speech and where they won’t be scared of their family, they won’t be scared of the people that should truly love them, and where they won’t be scared of living life the way they deserve.

Is it too much to ask?
Picture the way life would of been for this bright, bubbly teenager living in London.
Life was going perfect for her, everything going her way. Except for when one day in 2002 she was stabbed to death, she was only 16.
But why, why was her life cut so short, what could a 16 year old really do to provoke murder?
She fell in love with a Christian man and her father disapproved.


Although there is one point i would really like to emphasize on honor killing is a punishment for the women who act not according to their religion, tradition or even the culture which is imposed on them. To be more precise it is a punishment for the ones who want and wish to run their own life, choose their own lifestyle and choose their own partner, the one they truly love. The victims are women and young girls who just want to be free.

Mothers, Wives, Aunties, Cousins, Sisters, Girlfriends, Daughters Lost, forever.

Life is never so hard that a life should be lost. A loved one, a partner, a friend. Forever gone, now only in our pictures and forever in our heart.
But what about the murderers what happens to them 50% of them go un-seen and forgotten about. Is it that they never mattered, is it just another life?


- My oral presentation

I am fortunate to have parents who do not have that mentality. Islam does not teach such horrific things and people who commit these crimes should be skinned, lashed and later burnt. i find this extremely distressing that even in this day and age we have ANIMALS behaving in such a manner, giving us all a bad name.

I suggest you read the Koran if you truly believe it does not preach these "things". You might then be quite surprised to find that Islam is not so loving after all in its fundamental dogma.

You mean THIS Koran? Agreed!

Quran 38:51-2, "Sad," Dawood, p. 455

God has purchased from the faithful their lives and worldly goods, and in return has promised them the Garden. They will fight for the cause of God, they will slay, and be slain. Such is the true promise which He has made them in the Torah, the Gospel and the Koran....

Quran 9:111, "Repentance," Dawood, p. 203

They shall recline on couches ranged in rows. To dark-eyed houris [virgin girls] We shall wed them. . . . Fruit We shall give them, and such meats as they desire. They will pass from hand to hand a cup inspiring no idle talk, no sinful urge; and there shall wait on them young boys of their own, as fair as virgin pearls.

I am a Muslim. I am a woman and I don t support the killings by these evil people that kill, and say that it is in the name of Islam. Because it is not. If any women, or young lady feel that you are in any danger. Dont stay find a way to get away.GET OUT IF YOU THINK YOU ARE IN DANGER> IF YOU SEE ANY RED FLAGS. Dont trust your fathers, or your brothers. In some cases not even your mother or sisters. I have two daughters and I have advised them of what to do. First of all I told them to always be strong and stand up for themselves. These men that think that they are killing for honor, are sick freaks. This dont only happen in Islam. Men all over the world abuse women. It dont matter about religion, race, or anything. Unfortunately, some men believe that women should be treated less than human. We must stand up and come together to put these demons in a proper place. I pray for all of my sisters, and for all women everywhere. I am a Muslim, and I am calling on all sisters, and mothers to stand together and protect each other. Mothers do what you must do to protect your daughters by any means necessary. My heart hurts for the innocence that have been lose because of these cowards. If these fools are not punish on this earth, rest assure that Allah will punish them. These so call men are not Muslims, they are demons and cowards. They will get everything they deserve on the day of judgement, and those that helped them carry out the dreadful deaths of our precious love ones

Islam is NOT peaceful. I would have stopped reading after that falsehood, but thanks for the rest of what you said.
