And guess what.. they do if caught and convicted.
Pretty much all? Let's center out those which still allow it or look the other way and publicize this barbarity!It is illegal in pretty much all Muslim countries, but killing off such traditions is pretty hard.
It took 100 years from the banning of witch burnings in Europe and America before the practice died out,
and you expect that honor killings, legal until half a century or so ago, will disappear over night? Get real for **** sake.
But we get it, you hate Muslims and Islam.. and blame them for all the ills of the world.
LOL defending wife killers now?
It is not rare, it is just not classified as Sati in the rural areas and police protect the killers. There were over 8000 Sati killings reported in 2010....
Never claimed that. I said that the highest incidents occur in India, which is true.
I know you hate Muslims, but islam has nothing to do with honour killings.
It is not a ****ing claim, it is a fact.
Stop being blind to the facts. Honor killings are not exclusive to Islam
G
Excuse me? They were burning witches in America for 100 years? Who told you that?
And where did I say I hated Muslims or blamed them for all the ills of the world? Please go to more than one help section, if they have them available in your EU community..
Eh what the hell are you trying to pull.. I said it took about 100 years from the banning of witch burnings/killings till the practice finally died out. And yes there were many witch killings in the US in the 1600s and early 1700s.. or dont you believe in history now?
Nothing I wrote amounts to a defense of sati, in any sense. What I did was challenge your claim that 5000 such incidents occur per year, in modern india, despite 1) no such numbers being reflected in modern data and 2) such a high incidence not even occurring under British rule.
But you trying to purposely confuse such things tends to be your MO
No, you specifically claimed the hindu population in india. But the two problems with this, according to YOUR OWN RESOURCES, is that 1) incidents in india are on par with incidents in Pakistan, and 2) Pakistan has a tenth of the population of India
I probably know more people who practice islam than you and likely have close relationships with such people, as well. But let's face it, all you're going to have in this discussion is baseless personal attacks, because you can't even manage providing a relevant citation to anything you claim
from your link: "In 2010, 8391 dowry death cases were reported across India, meaning a bride was burned every 90 minutes"
1) that doesn't even make sense. Not all forms of Dowry killing are done through burning.
2) Again, no one is claiming things like Dowry death are not an issue in India (I own more books on the subject than you're likely to even hear about), what was challanged was your claim that the incidents of such among the Hindu population of India is the highest rate of occurence
Nothing in your link addresses this. For it to address this, it would need to speak to such incidents within that population, in relation to others. You presented a source above that did this for India and Pakistan, but when we break down population numbers, there was a ten fold higher rate of incidences in Pakistan
Hence, your only source on the issue directly disproved your claim. But you being unable to grasp that isn't surprising
PS And you don't even know what SATI is. Sati concerns emulation on a funeral pye.
No one claimed it was exclusive to islam. What was challenged was your claim that the highest rate of incidents occur among the hindu population of India. So far, the only numbers you presented on the issue disprove that
actually I think common consensus is that the rate of occurrence was much higher in Europe where you had large govt institutions leveraging the practice (spanish inquisition), as opposed to the US, which was comprised of rarer, but more highly publicized incidences (like the salem witch trials)
But it's just something I read about in passing, and am not familiar with the data
Eh what the hell are you trying to pull.. I said it took about 100 years from the banning of witch burnings/killings till the practice finally died out.
And yes there were many witch killings in the US in the 1600s and early 1700s.. or dont you believe in history now?
Why should I embrace Islam or any other religion? Have you 'embraced' Islam?In pretty much every post you make about Islam and Muslims.. you hardly embrace them do you...
I would claim that the level of reporting was better in Europe during those times, than in the US, which is why many witch killings were never reported. And I just realized that this has nothing to do what so ever with immigration and the UK..
You used the word, not me.
LOL defending wife killers now? It is not rare, it is just not classified as Sati in the rural areas and police protect the killers. There were over 8000 Sati killings reported in 2010....
The only one trying to deflect is you.
The very fact that you are trying to pin every honour killing and bridal killing in India on the Muslim population is frankly disgusting.
You do.. so how long have you lived among Muslims... 15 or more years.. because that I what I did.
So if a bride is not burned then it is not an honour killing in your mind?
And considering that most of the population of India is Hindu, and this happens all over the country, then yes. I see what you are trying to do and it aint gonna work. Stop defending this barbaric tradition and using honour killings as an only Muslim thing.. it is not, and never has been. It is tribal and based on traditions and not on Islam.
It does nothing of the sort.
There are reported 8k bridal killings in India a year, and it is not exclusive to the Muslim population.
But it is not exclusive Muslim since such killings also occur among Sikhs.. but let me guess, they are also Muslim in your eyes?
And before you say that honour killings dont happen among sikhs..
You used the word, not me.
They do? I dont see a religious distinction for the Indian number.
All it states is 1000 in India
and I pointed out that the population is highly Hindu.
You are the one making a lot of assumptions by assuming that of the 1000 that most are among the Muslim minority.
