Where are the feminists? Hillary Clinton, Gloria Steinem? Are you two at peace with honor killings occurring in the Islamic world when females do something as insignificant as "befriending" boys?
Read from Jihad Watch:
Girl buried alive in honor killing in Turkey
"Syria recently scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but 'the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour "provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing."'
That's right: two years for murder! You can serve more time than that for serial double parking.
In 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that 'Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.'
And a manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that 'retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.' However, 'not subject to retaliation' is 'a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring's offspring.' ('Umdat al-Salik o1.1-2).
In other words, someone who kills his child incurs no legal penalty under Islamic law.
That's why these honor killings keep happening -- because they are broadly tolerated, even encouraged, by Islamic teachings and attitudes. Yet no authorities are calling Islamic leaders to account for this.
'Girl buried alive in honour killing in Turkey: Report,' from AFP, February 4 (thanks to all who sent this in):
ANKARA - 'A 16-year-old girl was buried alive by relatives in southeast Turkey in a gruesome honour killing just because she reportedly befriended boys, the Anatolia news agency reported Thursday.
Acting on a tip-off, police discovered Medine Memi's body in a sitting position with her hands tied, in a two-metre-deep hole in a chicken pen outside her house in Kahta town, Adiyaman province, 40 days after she went missing, the agency said.
A subsequent post mortem revealed that she had a significant amount of soil in her lungs and stomach, meaning that she was buried alive, foresic experts told the agency.
"The autopsy result is blood-curdling. According to our findings, the girl -- who had no bruises on her body and no sign of narcotics or poison in her blood -- was alive and fully conscious when she was buried," one anonymous expert said.
Medine's father and grandfather have been formally arrested and jailed pending trial over her killing, the agency said.
The father is reported to have said in his testimony that the family was unhappy she had male friends.
In honour killings, most prevalent in Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast, a so-called family council names a member to murder a female relative considered to have sullied the family honour, usually by engaging in an extra-marital affair.
But the practice has gone so far as to kill rape victims or women who simply talked to strange men.'"
"Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values." Are we expected to believe that murdering young girls does not destroy families, and what kind of values are honor killings promoting? Only in Islam do we witness such brutality from a "loved" one.

These poor young Muslim girls can expect no help from the American feminist, the feminist are to busy pushing their socialist/marxist ideology and agenda.
Feminism is an ideology. Like communism. In fact, the feminists got their ideas about destroying the family, capitalism etc from Karl Marx.
Some ‘leading’ feminist writes:
“We can’t destroy the inequities between men and women until we destroy marriage.” – Robin Morgan (ed), Sisterhood is Powerful, 1970, p.537
“Our culture, including all that we are taught in schools and universities, is so infused with patriarchal thinking that it must be torn up root and branch if genuine change is to occur. Everything must go – even the allegedly universal disciplines of logic, mathematics and science, and the intellectual values of objectivity, clarity and precision on which the former depend.” — Daphne Patai and Noretta Koertge, Professing Feminism: Cautionary Tales from the Strange World of Women’s Studies, (New York Basic Books, 1994), p.116
“[The nuclear family is] a cornerstone of woman’s oppression: it enforces women’s dependence on men, it enforces heterosexuality and it imposes the prevailing masculine and feminine character structures on the next generation.” — Alison Jaggar, Feminist Politics and Human Nature
Similar beliefs:
"Destroy the family, you destroy the country.” – V.I. Lenin
Feminism is now rampant. Like political correctness, it actually does the opposite of what it claims to do. It claims to give women rights, but only by attacking men’s rights.
I believe Tammy Bruce walked away from the NOW organization and their feminists socislist/marxist agenda for that very reason.
