The world is full of chaos and people with twisted minds. In some countries the laws that ought to be enforced are ignored and people impose other rules to satisfy themselves. They have rules which make it acceptable for a man to torture and kill a woman. On the other hand if a woman refuses to comply to a fixed marriage or wear clothes considered as being inappropriate, it is seen as a sin for which she is punished.
In some cultures women are seen as replaceable commodities. There is no value placed on the life of the woman. She is looked upon as being inferior to her male counterpart and is treated accordingly. Brothers think nothing of killing their sisters to uphold what they call ‘the family honor‘ The question is, what kind of honor does a murderer bring to any family? What is honorable about killing your own sister?
Love to these people mean nothing and family honor means everything. It is a kind of sick twisted mentality. They do not understand the concept that unity is strength and that a family divided against itself will come to naught. They are so busy trying to protect their public image that they are blinded to the things that should be more important, that of a brother looking out for his sister and families uniting to protect family members.
The fact that brothers see nothing wrong with killing their sisters highlight the fact that in these societies men in general have very little respect for the lives of women and the laws if there are any is not sufficiently implemented to be a deterrent.
If women in these countries should turn the tables and say enough is enough and start to seek their own justice, I wonder if the laws will then be implemented or will they be able to get away with committing atrocities against men in the same manner that men commit atrocities against women? Interesting thought isn’t it? What do you thing?

I hate the misuse of the word honour – as you say, they are murders, not honour killings- the two words contradict each other – it is an oxymoron!!!
You are quite correct Valerie! They have it all wrong.
Reblogged this on VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN and commented:
STOP
While I can sympathize with a desire to see retribution on these murderers, I think such a solution would only lead to more hurt, hatred, and killing. It is the hearts of the people that need the love of God to change them.
That was not the intention, it was more a question of would the authorities be as lenient with them as they are with men who commit crimes against women?
Ah. I misread it. And the answer? Probably not.
I agree with you!
I fear nothing will ever change , when women ( Muslins) in the UK go to the Sharia leaders, complain about abusive husbands or in laws seeking help. They get told they are the cause and they must not involve the police. what help is that………… NONE!
You are so right! However things cannot continue as it is. There has to be a change!
