Mullah Fudlullah bans honour killings |
2007-08-03 |
Lebanon’s most senior Shia cleric issued on Thursday a fatwa, or religious edict, banning honour killings, calling the custom of murdering a female relative for sexual misconduct “a repulsive act”. Grand Ayatollah Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah put out the fatwa after reports of an increase in the practice in Lebanon as well as neighbouring countries, his office said. “I view an honour crime as a repulsive act condemned and prohibited by religion,” Fadlallah, the most revered religious authority for Lebanon’s 1.2 million Shiites, said in a statement. “In so-called honour crimes, some men kill their daughters, sisters, wives or female relatives on the pretext that they committed acts that harm chastity and honour,” said Fadlallah, warning that the practice was on the rise in the region. |

#7 Another lovely addition to the ATL murder story I heard on the way home today. This lady's husband had been killed back in Kenya because of his stance against female |

#5 This has even found its way to the States. This morning, I heard a lil' more detail on a murder that happened just outside of Atlanta (in Powder Springs, a somewhat small suburb west of Atlanta). Anyways, some good shot and killed a woman, her two teenage daughters and also shot her 2 sons (whom survived, but are in critical condition). Anyhoo, this morning, the authorities are now speculating that it could be tied back to Kenya (which the mom ran from with the kids, being afraid of her daughters being made to be circumcised). Yep, just another "benefit" of the RoP. |

#3 They know about it Howard. If you check, you'll find they're busy making fatwas against Fadlallah. (What do you think I mean when I say that Islam is an experiment in selective breeding?) |

#1 I'm sure someone will have to kill Fudlullah for dishonoring Islam like that. |
