If honour killings are anti-Islamic, why do they occur in all Islamic countries?

Question

Were honour killings common in all current Islamic countries, before the foundation of Islam?

Answer 1

The islam superstition has not progressed in any way for more than 1500 years, while the rest of civilization moved on. This explains the immense frustration those people have which inturn reverts them back 1500 years when killing was considered a "solution". It is a sad sad society the islamic one.

Answer 2

In Islam, believers are allowed to keep thier practices, beliefs and traditions, etc, if they do not go against the ruling of the religion. 'Honour killings' and such are totally UNISLAMIC, as the religion does not promote violence or death as a solution. Honour killings are mostly derived from the country's culture...and this is not supported by the religion, and they do not take place in ALL islamic countries.. only a few..(mainly sub continental asian countries as mentioned) Islam is a religion that gives women equal rights as men and women are given the utmost respect.. things like honour killings are conducted by people who do not follow the correct religion... they still abide by thier old traditions..such practices may have been common before the advent of Islam, and people who still practice them nowadays despite being 'Muslims" are punishable by Islamic law...
Why they still take place is basically coz the ppl still stick to thier old customs... it has nothing to with religion nor is it encouraged..

Answer 3

Good question: Islamic Law has severe protection laws and even punishment Laws for such hidious crimes. The onlu problem is in ISLAMIC countries these laws are either not imposed as part of the constitution, or they are either not followed and the punishments not given DUE to CORRUPTION.

Saudi Arabia has laws imposed and therfore has very little crime rate... I believe.

I dont think honour killings even takes place there.

Good question though.

Answer 4

honor killings are typical of most primitive cultures.
honor killing are very customary in Muslim societies, all over the world of Islam, so the claim these killing are anti-Islamic seems unfounded, or a face saving claim, just like the claim that Islam is a peace loving Religion, which is contradicted by all the violence Muslim Jihadists all over the world produce.

Answer 5

When people's relationships are disrupted, those with whom they are at odds will mostly not want to see their part in creating mental health problems. Indeed, if a person starts to develop psychiatric problems other people are likely to see these "symptoms" as further evidence discrediting the person concerned. Thus, just before a person breaks down again, for example, under the pressure of hostile, over involved and over critical relatives who, in the jargon, are in a high "Expressed Emotion Relationship", the person subject to criticism may start to become what in German is called fisselig, and what in psychiatrese is called "relapsing".

Answer 6

These are propagandas...one could never know if the one did the honour killing as you said is a real Muslim...

Don judge the book by its cover...this is the easiest misconception about Islam....

Answer 7

that became no longer my journey over in an Islamic us of a. adult men have intercourse while the choose arises. women have it while the daddy sells them to a diverse guy and he requests it and if she ever does fall in love and has intercourse out of marriage it extremely is a demise sentence. it extremely is not a similar for adult men. They use rape as a conflict weapon. while a guy rapes a women she dies and it extremely is not reported if she needs to stay. do no longer kown no remember if it is faith or cultural prepare yet i comprehend this is the way it is. They call them momentary different halves they use while they're faraway from domicile. Have diverse different halves in the event that they have funds. No women has diverse husbands. Or momentary husbands.

Answer 8

Honor killings DO NOT happen in ALL Islamic countires and it IS NOT a religious practice. I am guessing you get most of your 'facts' from the news.

Answer 9

because all those countries have men in them...killing a female for dishonouring a male(according to the male ego and pride that is) occurs in all countries throughout the world...even in the United States...but over here its called Domestic Violence...

Answer 10

Well islamic people say they don't oppress their women either and that their women are cherished, yet I see them being oppressed every day.
Same with honour killings, you hear about them too often. I don't want to generalise at all but I think many Muslims carry out their religion (which teaches some good morals and values) the wrong way.
