Legally killed in the name of honor.

Category:




Degradations, violences and execution on Muslim women.

A referential (short) handbook on how to, "treat women in Muslim oriented families" in order to preserve and prevent the own family honor to be smudged.



First step: degradations.

Method of choices to keep women in a diminished role in societies: nose cutting, bride price, female genital mutilation, forced marriages, polygamy, and forced virginity testing (these are many form of degradations in which many Muslim women are facing in many Muslim-Nations).

Second step: violences.

Method of choices to be applied for asserting the own male status: marital rape, beating, and any other form or shape of domestic violences and abuses.

Step three: Execution.

And after all the above women are not well behaved and subdued, then the ultimate punishment is prescribed: killing the offending woman.

Honor killing, an outrageous and cowardly act towards any human being.

Honor killings are brutal form of executions, and most of the times these are perpetrated on women by their own family's members. There are a variety of methods to use for washing a own soiled family's honor: by strangulation, by clubbing, by stabbing, by axing, by setting ablaze, but the most hideous of all
by stoning the victim.

In all the likelihood you may think that all the above is coming from a sadistic torturer's mind. But, even though it is just a hypothetical handbook that's the sad reality for most of the Muslim women treated like belongings all over the Muslim's world. Since their remote history as yet in the present days, those women are been forced to face on daily basis with all those kind of humiliations.




Social injustice against women are consented by most of Muslim nations with their judiciary system that warrants honor killings on the grounds of tradition, culture, and assault on a family member’s manhood.

Women are judged and executed by the own family member/executioner without given a chance to explain or to clear up any possible misunderstanding. Afterwards, for women the only mean left to escape their sentence of death is by suicide.

Nobody really knows, how many Muslim girls and women are murdered around the world each year in the name of, "family honor" since their deaths often go unreported and unpunished. Most of the times, mutilated women's bodies are found casually in ditches with their throat cut and chopped into pieces.

In the name of honor.



Unfortunately nowadays, while honor killings may be more prevalent in the Middle East, these are no longer unknown occurrences in the West.

How to kill a malignant disease.

To demystify and uproot the tribal concept of “honor” so deeply entrenched in many archaic societies in the middle East as well in other parts of the Muslim's world, there is only one route: education since the early age of any committed Muslim.

Many Muslim apologists are arguing that this plague has nothing to do with Islam, maybe it is so? But, what about some Imams start to preach some tolerance and equality, particularly in favor of women rather than wasting their time in preaching hatred from the minarets of their mosques.

Islam, the antipode to democracy.

Category:





Christians can criticize Christianity, even Jews can criticize Judaism, why Muslims cannot criticize Islam. If someone tries to criticize Islam, he does so at the risk of his own safety.

I do believe that, even Islam should not be above criticism!!!

The freedom that the Western societies are enjoying is based largely on, the freedom of speech and the right to criticize politicians, and ultimately even religions. These rights are the backbones of freedom, and this truth is embedded in the Western Civilizations, and it is sacred for everyone that believes in it, even more than religions. If this basic concept can't be accepted by the Muslim world, consequently Islam can't be a part of this modern and free world.

Can be there a real dialog with Islam?

I personally doubt it. At least, not with this kind of Islam! Islam isn't just a religion, but also a political identity which preaches violence. Islam is to be accepted the way it is. It can't be changed, or can't it be questioned. Islam must be accepted as an all, or otherwise a Muslim isn't a real Muslim, or worst this Muslim can even pay with his own life whenever he tries to question its teachings.

Can Islam be reformed?

If Islam wants to play a role in this world, then Islam needs a radical transformation, not just to reform itself, or otherwise Islam can't be a part of this modern world. If this doesn't happens, then in a long run Islam will lose the battle. Islam has only two choices left: to change or to be subdued.

What we are witnessing today isn't a clash of two religions or two cultures, but it's the clash of two mentalities, one belonging to the modern age, and the other one still rooted in an archaic era.

Islam is a very oppressing religion, especially towards those that are different, or not believers. In particular, the special treatment reserved from this sort of religion to the Muslim women, in which they are dealt like they were sub-humans. I end here saying: only Muslims defend their believes by killing and destroying what isn't Muslim. That's the Islam way. If they can't impose their own beliefs on it, then they will destroying it!

Not other religion, or beliefs, acts in such cowardly ways as, "Islam".
