Welt Online published a highly interesting article yesterday (26 Nov.) with the enlightening headline “Slitting the Throat in the Name of Honor“. We are interested to see sometime in the distant future when it won’t be politically incorrect among just us to say “in the name of Islam” – but, of course, violence against women, forced marriages and murders of (honor) shame have nothing to do with the most Peaceful of all Religions™. Certainly, the fact that this very thing is prescribed and commanded in the Quran and the Hadiths can be traced back to banal errors in translation and interpretation.

The examples presented on Welt Online are startling, particularly because they occurred not in Afghanistan or Iran, but right here among us. Following is a small assortment from the islamic horror show in Germany (all emphases by PI):
It borders on a miracle for Serap Y. that her little daughter is alive and well. For in October 2010, her brother Ibrahim Y. sought out the womanwell-advanced in pregnancy at her apartment, threw her on the floor, kicked her in the belly and back and finally laid into her. Because her child came from an extra-marital relationship with a Kurd, she offended the family honor.
In other cases like that of the German Afghan woman Morsal Obeidi, her help came too late. In May 2008, her brother killed the 16-year-old in a backyard in the Hamburg neighborhood St. Georg with 23 stabs of the knife because she had violated all the rules of the Afghan family with her western lifestyle.
All in accordance with Islam. “Kill the one who departs from the religion,” the prophet demanded. It is also erroneous to say that forced marriages result in the name of “honor” but not in the name of the religion:
And forced marriages as well can be attributed as an outcome of this idea of honor. A new study that for the first time examined the phenomenon of forced marriage shows that they are often a precursor to full-blown violence. According to the study, two-thirds of those involved in forced marriages have already been subject to violence in their upbringing.
