Honor Killings

Filed under: Religion - Cynthia @ 4:49 pm

This shows how unreasonable beliefs can be. Knowledge is more substantial. To know is better than to believe. Some religions should be moderated and this is a perfect example of why. Ladies beware, this is normal in some circles. This man is exposing the barbaric behavior that is a central tenet of Islam.

A Turkish immigrant in Scottsville, New York has been charged with the murder of his wife. He claims that his actions were taken as a matter of “honor.” Why? He attacked his wife and 22-year-old daughter after learning that they had been molested by the man’s brother. He tried to kill his four-year-old daughter because she had been “sullied” by a gynecological exam.

In Chicago, a man killed his family because he felt "disrespected". Fifty-five-year-old Daryoush Ebrahimi (dar-roo"-sh ay bra-HE’ me) is being held without bond on charges of first degree murder after police say he bludgeoned his family over the weekend.

  1. Both stories are quite sad. I wonder what the mother-in-law said or did to warrant murder by her son-in-law, when the beef could have been restricted to her daughter, the killer’s wife. It’s nutz.

    I also wonder about the mother-in-law. This is indeed a sad story.
