Little Girls "Honor" Murdered

Here are two separate instances of little girls in the islamic world being murdered under the barbaric practice of sharia. And this sick savagery is justified on the basis of salvaging some depraved notion of muslim male "honor". Any ideology which sanctions the murder of little girls and daughters deserves no respect in the civilized world and in fact is an ideology which must be fiercely rejected and fought. Even with numerous stories like this occurring daily, there are those in the west who still refuse to acknowledge how evil islam is.

Innocent Little Girl, Stoned to Death for Being a Victim of Rape, Cries for Mercy Before they Kill Her.
An innocent little girl, Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow, aged only 13yrs was stoned to death in Somalia. She pleaded for her life, a witness explained. "Don't kill me, don't kill me," she cried, according to the man who wanted to remain anonymous. Numerous eye-witnesses say she was forced into a hole, buried up to her neck then pelted with stones by over than 50 men until she died in front of 1,000 jeering spectators. She had been accused of adultery in breach of Islamic law, but sources told Amnesty International that she had in fact been raped by three men, and had attempted to report this rape.

Aisha was killed on Monday 27 October in a stadium in the southern port of Kismayu. None of men she accused of rape were arrested.

She was detained by militia of the Kismayo authorities, a coalition of Al-shabab and clan militias. During this time, she was reported to be extremely distressed, with some individuals stating she had become mentally unstable. Initial reports said she confessed to adultery before a Sharia court. Amnesty said it had learned she was only 13 and that her father had said she was gang raped by three men. Yes, that was her crime, she was raped by three savage Muslim men! When the family tried to report the rape, the girl was accused of adultery and detained.



“Honor” Killing: Fifth Grader Shoots Herself

On the morning of January 7, twelve-year-old Meryem Sökmen went to school as always in Somkaya village near Dogubayazit. She was in the fifth grade. In the fourth class period, a friend handed her a note, which was intercepted by the teacher. The note said, “I love you.” Meryem was so disturbed by this that she went home, while her teacher called her father to the school to give him the note (so as to avoid gossip about Meryem in the school). The next day, Meryem stayed home and in her family’s living room shot herself with her father’s Kalashnikov. Three bullets entered her forehead. Only her mother was home at the time. At the sound of the shots, her mother and neighbors came running. Her father, who wasn’t home at the time, said “If my daughter had told me there was someone she loved, I would have married her to him.”

Meryem’s father is a Kurdish village guard with eight children, four of them girls. It seems that thirteen years ago, another of his daughters, Necla, killed herself as well. She hung herself. (click here for article in Turkish)

If Meryem did kill herself, is the father not responsible for frightening her to death? Check the posts for honor killings under the category “women” on this blog. The statistics are hair-raising.

I suppose the teacher thought that by making it all aboveboard, no one could whisper that the girl had a secret relationship. Why didn’t the teacher just keep the note or destroy it? (The sex of the note-writer and teacher are not given in the article. I am presuming both are male.) Giving the note to the father, I suppose, would absolve the teacher if the father ever found out about it and blamed him for his daughter’s “debauchment”. Who wrote the note and why? Does that even matter, or is it just the potential gossip that matters?

And what about Necla? Why did she kill herself in 1997, if she did.
