Honor killings in a yesterday Sicily


Category:




In a not so remote past, i delitti d'onore (honor killings) weren't only an exclusive prerogative of Muslim countries - Shamefully even in Italy until a few decades ago, honor killings were happening. Even though under different modalities, these were mainly occurring in the south of Italy, particularly in Sicily.




These honor killings were committed by enraged husbands, fathers or brothers, for the offense of an actual or perceived immoral behavior done by their wives, sisters, or mothers being punished for having tarnished their own reputation or that of their families, were not else than truly tribal justices. The killers were always justified for having defended their honor by the society at large.

Even the Italian laws were much lenient toward those crime committed under the false pretense of, "honor".

Article 587 Criminal Code Rocco
(In force since 1930 and abrogated with the law n.442 of 08/05/1981)

"Whoever causes the death of spouse, daughter or sister in the act when he discovers the unlawful sexual relations and the state of anger went from offense given your honor or his family, shall be punished by imprisonment three to seven years. The same punishment those who, in those circumstances, causes the death of the person who is in unlawful carnal relationship with the spouse, daughter or sister."

Most of the time the sentence was not more than 3 years. Often was under three years, and even to a not more of few months imprisonment.

When I go back with my mind to many years ago, of when I was still living in my Sicily, I can clearly recall that some men were, indeed, wrongly inculcated in believing that they were the bosses and masters of their women, treating them as if they were properties (hopefully today, things have radically changed).

Fortunately, I didn't grow up with that same kind of mentality, just because, culturally I had the advantage of getting better educational knowledges. Thanks to alternatives that I was able to get along the way, my attitude toward women wasn't that of a high being dealing with a subspecies but of an equal partner in life. Alternatives such as: getting a college degree, traveling abroad a lot, and thus, getting to know other cultures.

And finally, a particular thanks to my sisters and my lovely other half, for having taught me that men aren't the dominant parts of humanity and that women are not the subordinate parts of it.

Today, I know very well that kind of Sicilian mentality toward women which was almost similar to those Muslim men of nowadays, in regard of their own women. Because of this reason I can now even understand, those Muslim men acting even worst with their own women because of honor. They have the same retrograde mentality that some Sicilian men were used to have.

In many ways the Sicilian mentality and the Muslim mentality, could both very well be connected together.

For certainty, the Islamic culture had its part in heavily influencing the Sicilian culture. Its deleterious influences (especially when getting to the point of women treatment) was passed on to future generations of Sicilian men by Arab conquerors.

This their thirst for the conquest of the Sicilian land, lasted more or less a two centuries. These two centuries were characterized mainly by continuous horde of Muslim invaders, which at some point in history culminated into a Sicilian Arabic Caliphate.

The result of that Muslim heritage can be seen even today by just listening to the many Sicilian dialects which have embedded in them some Arabs words, and by looking at the many Arabs vestige left in Sicily even after the Normans drove them out.

I'll end here this rather protracted topic, with the addition of only a few more words:


Both sex should respect each other without looking into gender differentiations and the prerogative of a very little benevolent religion toward the gentle sex, but equally live their lives on this world which belongs to every creature without distinctions whatsoever.

Amen!

Islamic culture degeneracy and social dis-cohesion (part III)

Category:




A last addition: there wasn't any plan from me to write a third part of the, "Islamic culture degeneracy and social dis-cohesion" but after reading an article from the Herald Sun I've decided to add this last part.

One more reason for Western civilization to despise Islam?




from: Herald Sun

Men sought to kill woman for adultery in Spain

SPANISH police have arrested nine men suspected of seeking to have a woman killed after they accused her of adultery, claiming they were following Islamic law, authorities said.

The men were arrested on November 14 and seven have been held in jail, a police spokesman said.

According to police, the woman had been taken in March and held in an isolated house in Valls in northeastern Catalonia.

Authorities say the men set up a court there to judge her for adultery.

"These men had formed a kind of court to apply (Islamic) sharia law,'' the spokesman said, adding the woman told authorities she was tried and sentenced to death.

She was later able to escape and report what happened to police.



Now following, a couple of questions regarding Islam: Would Islam really be that beneficial to Europe's interests? and... Does Islam poses no threat to Europe values?

In my opinion, we will be very disingenuous to say that Islam is compatible with any principle of democracy and social equality. Islam indeed is, not other than a bunch of unreasoning pretension ideas (and hence not a real religion), created by a false interpreter (Muhammad) of the will of God. And today Islam is guarded by a gang of Islamic extremists to incite gender inequality and to submit to it, the capacity from human minds to think freely.

Islam has a reputation (which it's getting more tainted as time goes by) to defend from the assault of severe criticisms coming from free spirits of this modern era! How it will do it? For sure, by not blowing up or slaughtering innocent's lives to sacrifice in the Allah's name!

Here, I want to emphasize for the sake of argument that in Europe in some respects there are some forms of Islamophobia. Yes, not doubt about it! But, in the same time isn't Europe the most liberal, tolerant, pluralistic society humankind has ever known! Is it?

Why these days standing against Islam's nonsense makes you a racist?

In conclusion, isn't really my intention in this blog to foment any anti-Muslim sentiments but questionings about Islam beneficence toward open societies, and to do it so I want to be able to dispute it without the limitations of expressing myself freely without being called a racist, which eventually even in a partially Islamized society would happened by imposing on me restrictions on my personal freedom of expression. Naturally there is some form of Islamophobia in Europe, but Islam (not doubt about it) is clearly Freedom-phobic.

These last parts aren't mine but I took from a commentary section of the Free Republic:

To: george76

This one’s simple:

Islam is a totalitarian political movement which uses religious symbolism and beliefs to bind together its believers. It’s remarkably effective at confounding the opposition and maintaining group cohesion.

Here in Spain is a great example. Without any sort of prompting or coordination from above, Islam believers, on their own, begin to establish their political structure inside the host’s government and apply their law to their own believers. Communists try to do this in a clumsy manner with “cells” and little groups of believers, but the left is a clumsy buffoon compared to these guys. I’ll be willing to bet that there’s actually a tipping point when a minority of the population is Islamic in which the mass of believers starts undermining the culture and political structure of the host country. It would be interesting to know what that percentage looks like.

In any case, if Islam succeeds in its mission, humanity sinks into a long dark ages berift of reason and individual rights. God help us.

To: redpoll

Here's the gist of it with the exemplar countries stripped out for space and readability considerations:

Islamization of a society begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for discriminatory religious privileges. When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other manifestations tend to infiltrate, eroding and contaminating the culture.

As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens.

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize among other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Moslems approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam.

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare

From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing genocide), use of Sharia law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels

After 80%, there is daily intimidation and violent jihad, some state-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Islam.

100% supposedly ushers in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of Peace. There is supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word

Unfortunately, peace is never achieved! As in the 100% states above, the most radical Muslims intimidate, spew hatred, violate women and children, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, using rationalizations and corruptions of every basic human decency. Whether in mutilating women or raping young boys, they invoke the name of religion for authority. One only need to recall the killing of innocent female children in Saudi Arabia by religious police, or the atrocities of the Taliban in order to realize that we are in a war where our enemies do not fight by the rules governing civilized nations.

A teenager called Du’a Khalil.

Category:
Honor Killings




On April 7th 2007, a young girl by the name of Du’a Khalil Aswad was stoned to death by a lynching crowd. Her agonizing death, was immortalized by a cheering crowd on their mobile phones while hundreds of men and boys were kicking and beaten her. Finally, she was killed by a concrete block which was dropped on her head. As a last offense, Khalil's body was buried with the remains of a dog.

You can read the entire story by clicking on the link in the end of this article.

Women treated as possessions in those parts of the world are a common conception, and most of the times women’s lives are worth less than a family honor.

Du'a Khalil: The price of her blood.


In the Kurdish newspaper Aweena, it was announced that the Aswads, Du’a’s parents, had accepted 40 million Iraqi Dinars as blood money in such a solih and had agreed to forgive the murderers. The Aswads have suffered enormously over the murder of their daughter, and no doubt they deserve 40 million dinars of compensation if not more; the Aswads still live in Bashiqa, and no doubt choosing to forgive the murderers is necessary for them if they wish to live peacefully in their community. In the aftermath of the murder, several Yezidi men were executed by members of Al Qaeda who have issued a fatwa declaring the murder of Yezidi as permissible. The Yezidi people have suffered a great deal of violence and prejudice since the stoning, and it is with this in mind that the solih was reached, with Christian, Yezidi and high-profile Muslim leaders working together to raise the money and to make the agreement to restore peace between Bashiqa’s ethnic groups.

However, on the scales of justice, the forgiveness of the parents should weigh nothing. Children are not their parent’s possessions...


The above is a portion of an e-mail I received from the International Campain Against Honour Killings. You can read the entire article by clicking on the link in the e
nd of this article.

The cruelty demonstrated by those blood-thirsty monsters on the occ
asion of the Du'a Khalil's murder, wasn't one time exception occurred in the human history, but as we all know, one of many countless atrocious acts perpetrated on the weakest of humanity in any uncivilized, or even so called civilized societies, in any given time, for any given reason (See all the genocides in human history, or all the murders perpetrated in the name of a religion, political ideas, economical interests, racism, and so on).

We, and when I say we I intend not just those men that are living in those 3rd world countries, but even all of us which leave in these modern societies with the false preconceptions that we are far better than those living in those retrograded countries where they value the worthiness of a human life (especially a female human life) less than an object.



Unfortunately, those predatory's animal instincts are an hidden part of the humanity heritage and these hidden instincts are inside in each of us, ready to be triggered when we find ourselves in particular moments of our lives, and those moments will acts as detonators on our subconsciousness to re-awaken those sleeping beastly instincts. No, humanity isn't perfect at all, we can deceive ourselves in the false believes that we different than animals, because we are smarter and we are an evolved species, we are "Homo sapiens".

In reality, that's a big lie. Indeed, we are worst than animals, because we are capable of committing homicides, as well, any other brutal acts on women, or on weak people. We use our own intelligences for perpetrating those horrific crimes on victims within our own species.


Continues.....

Next: Home sapiens, a few miles behind their real evolution.

Du'a Khalil, a young life cut short.

Du'a Khalil: The price of her blood.
