There is Honour in Killing ?
It is quite disturbing to read in the Associated Press that, three sisters were stabbed to death and buried in a shallow grave in Gaza. The three sisters, Nahed Hija (16), Suha (19), and Lina (22) were murdered by relatives in the name of "Honour Killing", because the sisters were suspected of involving in immoral behavior.
On July 20th 2007, The Daily Mail of London reported that, Banaz Mahmod, was rape, tortured, and murdered in South London by her father, uncle, the hired murderer, Mohamad Hama, and two other murderers who are still at large. Banaz's body was packed into a suitcase and buried in a garden in Birmingham,. She was murdered in the fashion of "Honour Killings" because she walked out from an unhappy arranged marriage.
On May 26th 2007, The Daily Times of Pakistan reported that, a young couple were murdered, packed in box, and throw at a road side in Johar town. The murdered victims are identifies as Umar (29) and Jannat (25). The couple were murdered by the woman's brother in "Honour Killing".
I guess there have been too many news headlines of honour crimes with title such as “Father killed daughter over honour”, “Divorced mother killed by brother to protect family honour”, “Brother killed sister in honour killing”, “Brother killed sister and her boyfriend for family honour", etc., etc., etc.... The sad fact is, barbaric as it may seemed, most of these killings are still being carried out in our modern world, and some cultures still encourage and glorify these barbaric crimes.
I still don't quite comprehend, what is so honourable in murdering defenseless woman ? I am not trying to be insensitive to any culture or religion, but this is the 21st century, not the 7th century, we are all civilized people now. Why are there still so many savages encouraging and practising barbaric acts against the weak and defenseless human being ? Killing in the name of defending their family and cultural honours ? I just don't see what honours do these savages and criminals have. What values are their cultures trying to preach to the world - It is okay to murder family members because one felt shamed or offended by the victims' actions ? Being offended or shamed entitled one the moral rights to commit cold blooded murders ?
Love without third party consent is wrong but cold blooded murder is culturally and morally right ? What sickening and rotten cultures are these ? A culture that glorifies death ? Well, It is beyond me to understand how vermin minds work. Am I being insensitive and offensive by being critical of these perverts' misguided cultural values in honour killings ? Would all these oxymoronic perverts practise what they preached in their religion of love ? that is, putting a stop to all these sickening sexisms and violences ! Please, please, please glorifies life, not death !
God said there is honour in killing ? This oxymoron is confused. I rolled my eyes... I am speechless.......
