Honor Killing in Islam

One of the more disturbing aspects of Islam is its willingness to allow parents to kill their own children if the child's actions are perceived to be against Islam:

Dr. Alan Godlas, Associate Professor of Religion at the University of Georgia, calls it a “carefully translated manual of the proper practice of Islam (shari’a) according to the Shafi’i madh’hab. It has been an essential book in the library of any serious English speaking Muslim or scholar of Islam since its publication in 1991.”



Here's the certification in Arabic



In Book O, titled “Justice,” in section 1, “Who is Subject to Retaliation for Injurious Crimes,” section o1.1 reads, “Retaliation is obligatory … against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right…”:

However, o1.2 clarifies (above) that “The following are not subject to retaliation” and then lists after the lovely, egalitarian “Muslim for killing a non-Muslim” and “Jewish or Christian subject … for killing an apostate” “(4) a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring”:

Islamic/Sharia Law imposes no punishment on:

o1.2 “Muslim for killing a non-Muslim”

It fits with Quran 4:89 “slay them (apostate) wherever ye find them”, 9:5 slay the Pagans (kuffar [sing.] kafir, infidels, unbelievers) wherever ye find them, 2:191 “slay them (unbelievers) wherever ye catch them”, 8:12 “… Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks” & 47:4 “smite at their necks” (beheading with a knife) …

“(3) A Jewish or Christian subject the Islamic state for killing an apostate of Islam (because a subject of the state is under its protection (dhimmis) while killing an apostate from Islam is without consequenses)”

Fits also with Quran 9:29 & hadith Sahih (“reliable”) Muslim Book 19, Number 4294 – jizyah, a protection tax, “… this is how the mafia operates” Page 166 “Understanding Muhammad”)

“(4) Father or Mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring”

“(5) …[a child cannot retaliate] when his father kills his mother.”
