Saudi Honor Killing Custom

It keeps getting worse and worse. I think I've read the most disturbing act committed by the "religion of peace," and then I find something even more revolting.
Is this what President Obama wants us to respect?

Saudi Columnist Attacks Custom of Honor Killing in Saudi Society MEMRI


'Recently, in Saudi Arabia, two sisters were murdered by their brother after they were picked up by the Saudi religious police on suspicion of hanging around with boys. The incident inflamed the Saudi press, particularly because the brother killed them immediately after their father arrived to collect them from the police station. In her column in the Saudi daily Al-Watan, liberal Saudi columnist Maliha Al-Shahhab wrote that Saudi society was backsliding, and that honor killing was just like the custom of burying girls alive that prevailed during the Jahiliyya – which, she said, was one of the customs that Islam came to eradicate.'

'Two girls in the dawn of their youth, aged 15 and 16... [and] not yet emerged from the cocoon of innocence, were suspected [of hanging around with boys] and were apprehended [by the religious police]. The officials who arrested them were from this society, and knew better than anyone how a family reacts to being informed of such an incident involving one of its daughters, and also what a girl would be exposed to on the part of her family and society after being arrested. But these [officials] had no pity for the girls, [despite] the air of girlhood wafting from them, and they phoned their father.'

'I imagine [the two girls] Rim and Nouf waiting for their father, their young hearts full of joy at being rescued, despite the fear that filled them... Once their father had picked them up... they hadn't taken their first step... [before] they were welcomed by shots of death, burying them alive. What were their souls praying for at that moment? A brother murdered his two sisters!

'Who planted in a young boy the notion of purging the [family] honor? Who programmed him to be a ticking bomb set to detonate at a specific time - without equipping him with the tools of insight that would give him some self-control? Who is responsible for this crime, for this senseless [act of] burying [them] alive, for the contempt for the lives and fate of others?'"



Islam is a violent, intolerant religion. As I've said numerous times, I have no feelings of hatred for Muslims, but I despise the evil behind their religion and grieve over the horrendous circumstances their females are forced to endure. The Muslim people are deceived individuals following a false religion.

Just like every person in this world, they are in need of a Savior. But, sadly, they are missing the fact that Jesus Christ is the only true Redeemer for our sins. Unlike allah, He is a God of love and mercy and accepts us just as we are if we come to him in humility with genuine repentance for our sins.

Unlike the god of Islam, who asks his followers to give their sons to die for him, the God of the Bible gave His Son to die for us.

Which is the better deal?
