Farzana Parveen was stoned to death by her family outside a courthouse in Pakistan for marrying a man without her family's consent. Her father called it an "honor killing".

The article says there were reportedly 869 women murdered in Pakistan in honor killings in 2013. Perhaps I'm naive but I was shocked that the number was so high. Very sad situation, I'm sorry to hear that this happens so frequently in today's world.

Yeah, I read that yesterday. Really, I have no words that can express my feelings toward these actions. But, what can we do? It really is up to the peoples of those countries to take up the fight. I guess we can write a strongly worded protest to the UNHRC...yeah, that'll do it.

Apparently under this county's law probably no one will be punished, as it was her relatives who carried out the act and as long as her relatives forgive them then the guilty party will go free or at least with a minimum penalty. This is what I read so perhaps someone can confirm this

It's shocking, and truly sad. However it highlights the true dangers of fervent religious fundamentalism and it's effects within a society. If these folks can call murder "Honor", it opens the door for a lot of other misguided actions such as terrorism. With the numbers this high, it shows there is a rather high density of this sad behavior, and it is probably no surprise why Pakistan has issues beyond comprehension in dealing with terrorism and unrest within their borders.

No they're not. But Israel has consistently tried to paint Iran as the worst offender in the world as a political maneuver in the West to advance their interests. I've been to Iran several times with relatives there and its hardly North Korea or Pakistan IMO. We totally reject any comparisons of us to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, North Korea etc. etc.

Quoting casinterest (Reply 8):

Correct. The number of women killed/stoned in a single year in Pakistan actually exceeds the people executed in Iran by about 250. Iran is cutthroat and ruthless, not totally savage and barbaric. When there is a occasional stoning in Iran, its normally because the government has lost control of a remote village not a mob scene in front of a court house as happened here.

The US needs to focus less on whose a rival power and more on who is actually causing the most amount of suffering. I don't think that's Iran by a long shot. All of your "friends" in the Middle East are feeding you BS.

What is even worse is, that in Germany and probably in other European countries, such criminals get a "rebate" when on Trial.

In Wiesbaden, a Muslim who was born and raised in Germany killed his pregnant girlfriend because she not only refused to convert to Islam but also inisted that the child would be raised Christian.

Which is the mother's decision BTW in Germany and the father has no right to Change that. Pity that the Courts turn down 500 years of enlightenment and civil rights and label such killings as religiously based "custom".

Whilst the distinction between the religion and the traditional tribal practices may be a valid one, nonetheless, Islam, being more of a collective system of practices than an individually held faith, seems more than any religion to block the progress of cultural toward the recognition of individual dignity and individual liberty of conscience. So,even if Islam doesn't directly call for these practices, it is the world's safest Harbour for them.

What a peaceful bunch of people ordinary Muslims in countries like Pakistan are. I bet our leftist parties would love to take all those people involved in stoning here to enrich our culture by giving it more diversity.

I hope a huge wave of rationalism will continue spreading all over Europe with rise of right wing parties that don't support the idea of destroying our continent by filling it with people who support this kind of an ideology.

How sad that this woman has been so brutally taken. My commiserations to her husband.

This murder, for that is what it was, had nothing whatsoever to do with "honour" and if a report in the Guardian is to be believed, little to do with religion. It seems it was all to do with money. The parents had been trying to exact money from the husband and when he refused to cough up , the parents (for want of a better word) decided to deprive him of the "goods".

As I say, there was nothing honourable about this cowardly and brutal attack. Twenty men (for want of a better word) attacking a pregnant woman! All because of pride and greed.

The murder has not been dealt with by the courts. I would hardly expect the court to issue a verdict of murder before a murder took place.

What was she doing at court? Parveen was due to appear in the high court in an effort to quash a case brought by her parents, who alleged Iqbal had kidnapped her. He states that they had been legally married in another court. Parveen was murdered before she entered the court, possibly because the family feared that the ruling would go against them.

The fact that the event took place outside the court and the police did not intervene shows a complete break down in law and order.

Pakistan at least is a developing, poor, uneducated, relatively new Islamic country but I saw as much coverage in yesterday's US news about Iran summoning Mark Zuckerburg to court over Facebook privacy.That report wasn't even factually correct. There was hardly even a condemnation from the State Department or Samantha Power, the UN rep on a public stoning just days after women's rights week.

More amazing is that the US sends foreign aid to Pakistan. The US sends $1.5Billiion, the Saudi's send even more and fund the hardcore Wahabi Islamic schools. And let's not forget that Pakistan also is not a NPT signatory and has nuclear weapons. But Iran is the "Axis of Evil" and is sanctioned instead of getting foreign aid?

That doesn't even make sense. Yeah, Iran's an Islamic Republic but so is Afghanistan even after being "liberated" by US forces. You're point is kind of meaningless though as stonings are exceedingly rare in Iran, hardly the 869 per year in Pakistan and certainly not right in front of a court. There are no Sharia courts in Iran either.

Pakistan is also officially an "Islamic Republic" technically. When they say "Islamic Republic" they don't mean a nation state or republic built on top of Islam. They mean a democratic republic BOUNDED by Islam and values. Not a secular liberal democracy in other words. That's very different. Pakistan and Afghanistan are both Democracies with elected officials but they are also Islamic Republics. Nor does it mean a society based on Sharia Law like the Taliban or Boko Haram.

Perhaps what SFBdude is driving at is that Islam itself prescribes no particular form of government. Neither Qur'an nor Hadith provides clear instructions on what political institutions should be established. Over time various forms have evolved. So a government can be a monarchy, a military dictatorship, or even a version of democracy and still claim that the laws enacted are guided by Islam. In this sense Islam can be said to be a belief in nomocracy (based on the rule of Divine Law) rather than theocracy based on the rule of a priesthood or church.

Of course, how far a government lives up to any Islamic ideal, if at all, depends on who you ask and on whose interpretation of Islam you regard as authoritative.

Yes, that's true. Iran is Islamic religously, not culturally, so you see major differences in behavior. You'll note the mother that recently exonerated her son's murderer at the gallows recently.

It will take time for the these places to move past "eye for an eye" but it will take centuries not decades. You need everyone to move in from the villages to the cities, get a good public education, get connected to the rest of the world and then it will just fade away.

There was a case in the US where a man and his wife were convicted of murdering their daughter. It was chilling to hear, they broadcast the screams on TV. They did not like her Western ways. The police received a tip from the US government, they had a tape of the girl being murdered in cold blood. Unknown to the maniac parents, their house was bugged by the government for possible terrorism ties. There was a legal, and moral issue about how the tape was obtained. The Father was sentenced to life without parole, and damned if he did not die after a short time in prison. Personally I hope he met justice from his fellow prisoners. The Mother was sentenced to a lessor amount of time. I believe we have had others also.
