Syrian Women's Rights Activist Bassam Al-Qadhi: The Syrian Government is Lenient
Towards 'Honor Crimes'; 'Do We Need 10 Million Syrian Women To Be Killed Before
We Face Up to the Problem?'
http://www.memri.org/bin/latestnews.cgi?ID=SD226809
--- Bassam Al-Qadhi: "The killing of women because they are women is a worldwide
phenomenon. The problem with us is not that we kill [women], while others do
not. The problem is that we reward the killer. This is where the difference
lies."
"In Europe or America, someone might kill his wife because he suspected she was
having an affair with a neighbor, for example. He might kill her, but he will
stand trial as a murderer, and he will go to jail. He will not receive a legal
certificate of good character, saying that he was 'defending his honor.'"
"The problem with us is that we give a certificate of good character for this,
that we say to him: 'Off you go. You can enjoy your life, because you killed
your wife, your daughter, or your sister.'"

Honor Killing] Gets Only Three Months to Three Years in Jail"

-- "In Iraq, women and girls are becoming 'the soft targets of violence and the
invisible victim of the conflict,' said Yakin Erturk, the UN Special Rapporteur
on violence against women, its causes and consequences."
-- "Ms. Erturk described a dire situation for women in the Middle Eastern
country, who are the victims of rape, sex trafficking, forced and early
marriages, murder and abduction for sectarian or criminal reasons and are either
forced or driven into prostitution. She also expressed deep concern about the
increase in violence within families, in particular the rise of so-called honour
killings."
-- "'Honour killings are among the primary causes of unnatural deaths among
women in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq, and a number of reports are also
documenting the practice of female genital mutilation,' Ms. Erturk said in a
press release."

'trophies'
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20726085-2703,00.html
"Three Christian high school girls were beheaded as a Ramadan 'trophy' by
Indonesian militants who conceived the idea after a visit to Philippines
jihadists, a court heard yesterday. The girls' severed heads were dumped in
plastic bags in their village in Indonesia's strife-torn Central Sulawesi
province, along with a handwritten note threatening more such attacks. The note
read: 'Wanted: 100 more Christian heads, teenaged or adult, male or female;
blood shall be answered with blood, soul with soul, head with head.' .... he
decided that beheading Christians could qualify as an act of Muslim charity.
Conscripting several accomplices at a local pesantren, or Islamic school, he
directed one of them, Lilik Purnomo, to seek out "the head of a Christian'...
They prepared six machetes and black plastic bags for carrying off the severed
heads and spent several days surveying the area where the students regularly
passed by. The attack was launched the following morning, but only four of the
six targeted girls appeared. Lilik, directing the attack from a nearby hill,
told his accomplices to act quickly so that the remaining two girls could still
be killed should they appear behind their friends. The attackers cleanly
beheaded three of the students but a fourth, Noviana Malewa, escaped after a
struggle and ran away screaming. Her attackers gave chase but were unable to
catch her. The bodies, dressed in school uniform, were left by the roadside near
the execution site, but the heads were carried in a backpack to Hasanuddin."

"3. Islamist terrorism is an immediate derivative of Islamism. This term
distinguishes itself from Islamic by the fact that the latter refers to a
religion and culture in existence over a millennium, whereas the first is a
political/religious phenomenon linked to the great events of the 20th century.
Furthermore Islamists define themselves as 'Islamiyyoun/Islamists' precisely to
differentiate themselves from 'Muslimun/Muslims.' . . . Islamism is defined as
'an Islamic militant, anti-democratic movement, bearing a holistic vision of
Islam whose final aim is the restoration of the caliphate.'"

Muhammad," Hardcover Edition, Chapter 10, page 173

"The Qur'an likens a woman to a field (tilth), to be used by a man as he wills:
'Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate) so go to your tilth as ye will' (2:223).
It declares that a woman's testimony is worth half that of a man: 'Get two
witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two
women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other
can remind her' (2:282).
It allows men to marry up to four wives, and have sex with slave girls
('captives that your right hands possess') also 'If ye fear that ye shall not be
able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two or three
or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them),
then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more
suitable to prevent you from doing injustice' (4:3)."
"The Qur'an also rules that a son's inheritance should be twice the size of a
daughter's: 'Allan (thus) directs you as regards your children's (inheritance):
to the male, a portion equal to that of two females' (4:11).
Worst of all, it tells husbands to beat their disobedient wives: 'Men are in
charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and
because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women
are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those
from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and
scourge them' (4:34)."
"Muhammad also says that hell will be filled with more women than men: 'O women!
Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were
you (women)... You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands, I have
not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious
sensible man could be led astray by some of you.'"
