Islamic Mindset At Work Against Women

Nazir Ahmed is extremely calm for a man who just committed a horrible crime. His only regret is that he didn't kill his 25-year-old daughter's alleged lover. He did, however, slit the throats of his stepdaughter, Muqadas, and his three younger daughters - Bano, 8, Sumaira, 7, and Humaira, 4 - while his wife, Bibi, watched and cradled the couple's three-month-old son. Ahmed warned Bibi that if she moved, raised the alarm, or tried to save her daughters, he would kill her too.

Ahmed claims his crime was one of "honor". "'I thought the younger girls would do what their eldest sister had done, so they should be eliminated," he said, his hands cuffed, his face unshaven. "We are poor people and we have nothing else to protect but our honor.'" This supposed "honor killing" means Ahmed thinks he is not guilty of anything.

Muqadas was accused of adultery by her husband, but several villagers say she was abused and forced to work in a brick factory. Her only crime was trying to flee. The whereabouts of this supposed lover are unknown, as is his identity. Chances are, there was no lover. In most Muslim theocractic countries, the testimony and word of a woman counts for one-half that of a man's. This means Muqadas' husband could levy a false charge and have it believed unless two or more witnesses contradict his claim.

And some in this country think Christianity is oppressive to women.

The above is taken from my daughter-in-laws blog. My only question is why there have been so many women converting, in recent days, to Islam. Perhaps, they have a death-wish---Which some of them have expressed by being "suicide bombers".
