UN Amb Linda Thomas-Greenfield wags a warning finger at the Taliban

UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield bragged that the United States used a "very strongly worded press statement" from the UN Security Council telling the barbaric scumcrumpets of the Taliban that they had better respect women's rights and humanitarian law, or else. She added that we will be watching closely while failing to mention what we will do should they violate our demand.

The Taliban assured us that they will provide women and girls all their rights in accordance with Islamic law known as sharia.

Wow, that's great. 

Now women will have half the rights given to a man and will be able to select the material their burqas will be made from. They will also not need to be bothered with such mundane things like voting or leaving the house alone and can even avoid getting involved with having to find a husband or a slave master. The Taliban will make those decisions for them, relieving them of the burden. 

Of course, if they defy the rules, they will be beaten and/or stoned to death.

Thomas-Greenfield said, "[W]e are hearing from people in Afghanistan that they are getting threats from the Taliban, and we have expressed in no uncertain terms here at the United Nations through a very strongly worded press statement from the Security Council that we expect the Taliban to respect human rights, including the rights of women and girls. We have also indicated that they have to be respectful of humanitarian law and that we do not expect to see that Afghanistan will become a safe haven for terrorists. But, again, it is not their words that we will hold them to. It is their actions that we will be watching."

Or else.

Iran: Dad beheads his 13-year-old daughter in honor killing

Non-Politically Correct Fact: Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. If this fact was to be posted on social media, it would probably be taken down, but it still remains a fact.

Non-PC Fact 2: The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. 

The fact is, honor killings are generally an accepted part of the culture in many Middle East countries in spite of the fact that there are laws against these horrible acts. Al-Jazeera stated that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.” By 'conservatives,' they are, of course, referring to religious conservatives, not Republicans.

Islamic law states that "retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right," but Sharia law also states "not subject to retaliation" is "a father or mother [or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring's offspring." [Reliance of the Traveller 01.1-2.] 

So, if you kill your own child or have a grandparent do it, Islam is okay with that--there are no legal penalties under Islamic [Sharia] law. Therefore, until this law is confronted regarding honor killings, women will suffer the consequences.

In this case, a 13-year-old Iranian child, Romina Ashrafi, the daughter of the murderer, suffered the ultimate punishment. She was beheaded by her father while she was asleep in bed in her family home in Hovigh, Talesh, as reported by the Daily Mail. [H/T Jihad Watch]

Romina planned to elope with a 35-year-old man and initially ran away from home after her father expressed outrage over her plans to get married. Bothe Romina's family and the man's contacted authorities which led to security forces to  conduct a hunt for them. 

They were caught and the child was sent home, in spite of her telling authorities that she would be in danger there. But the laws of the Islamic Republic of Iran require she be returned to her parents where they could do with her whatever they wanted.

So while Romina slept, her father entered her room with a sickle, and chopped off her head. Still holding the bloody murder weapon, he then turned himself in to the police and confessed the honor killing, losing all chances of becoming Iran's "Father of the Year."

District governor Kazem Razmi said the girl’s father is being held in custody and an investigation into the case is underway. 

The father doesn't need to fret, however, as he will not face the death penalty. He was the victim's guardian and under Islamic Penal Code, he is exempt from "retaliation in kind," or as the locals call it, "qisas."

Sharia law says that only ‘blood owners’ – immediate family members – are allowed to demand execution for the murder of a relative. This suggests that Romina's mom is also fine with the beheading of their daughter.

Most honor killings go unpunished since families tend not to demand the death sentence for another family member--that would be cruel. According to a Tehran police official, honor killings may account for around 20 percent of Iran's murders.
