Questionable Teachings of Islam:

One Billion People Deceived

There are reported "honor killings" which are deemed justifiable. A Muslim family member
who disagrees with the social order of Islam and wishes to marry a person from another
religion may be killed for his/her decision. Here are excerpts describing a 2002 incident in
London:

"By stabbing his daughter in the neck, Abdalla Yones, 48, was performing what in the
Muslim world is considered an 'honor killing', an attack on a relative who has brought
shame to the family. The murder occurred in the family's home in Acton, West London,

according to the London Times."'

"Sixteen-year-old Hsehu Yones was stabbed to death by her father, Abdullah Jones, on
October 12, 2002, for having a Christian boyfriend and becoming 'Westernized.' According
to Scotland yard, the stabbing is believed to be among 12 honor killings in the UK last
year. On September 29, 2003, Abdullah Jones was given a life sentence for his crime,

showing the intolerance of honor killings in the UK."

Oppression takes many forms within the teachings of fundamental Islam. For example,
Muslims are commanded to remain within their close-knit community and are prohibited
from befriending non-Muslims. Such restriction automatically builds a wall of defense
whereby Muslims view non-Muslims as infidels, thus, never being able to establish a true

and peaceful co-existence.
