Stop Honor Killings



Thousands of innocent women are still being murdered in honor killing in the Middle East and Asia where the lunatic fringe elements of certain false religions are attacking and killing helpless and powerless women and the constitutional authorities have failed to stop these horrible and terrible crimes.

Both ‘honor’ killings and suicide on the increase

The good news is our campaign is making the women to wake up and defend their rights.

Saudi reformist and human rights activist Wajeha Al-Huweidar is not afraid to speak out. You can read more on Memri and Right Side News.

Thank you for blogging about this, Orikinla.

These crimes are on the increase globally and are also committed in the West, usually by immigrants from the countries where the crimes are indigenous.

Ellen,
An attack on one woman is an attack on every woman.

One only needs to imagine how horrible and terrible it would be to be a victim of such an atrocity.

We shall win if we do not give in to the perpetrators of these horrors and terrors.

I will read your book.

Cheers and God bless.

I will pray for you to succeed.

For Muslims to be against Sharia is like challenging Islamic Law and Order.

Please, take care as you campaign for the reformation of Islam.

Cheers and God bless.
