NIX ON ‘HONOR KILLING’ : OXFAM

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

According to (Pakistan) Daily Times, International Oxfam will try to squelch female Muslims being murdered by the males in their clans.

"Honor killing" goes on daily.

It happens when an Islamic male decides that a Muslim female has dishonored in some way the clan. The murderer may be the female’s husband, father, brother, uncle or whomever. The "dishonor" may be real or fabricated. The slaying may be by bullet through the head, neck slit or whatever.

Females in Islam are considered to be cursed by the devil from conception. They are conceived with ten curses akin to showing in public their privates. If the female marries, one curse is lifted. The other nine remain.
Females in Islam are considered worse than waste material. That is why they are garbed from head to foot. If an ankle shows, a male Muslim may beat the offending female.

There are Muslims who contest this explanation and definition of honor killing. Those who do are sheltered or misinformed or very much Westernized Muslims who know not what is going on in the real Muslim world daily and Muslims who don’t read the Koran from cover to cover. If you are one of those, please do not email me protesting the truth of what is in this column.

The fact is that as I type somewhere a Muslim female is being slain by a male relative. She has brought some disgrace, real or imagined, upon the clan and so her life must be extinguished.
