Hina Saleem was murdered by her father last year in northern Italy in an Islamic ‘honor killing’ . Hina who dressed in western clothes, worked in a pizzeria in the northern town of Sarezzo and lived with her Italian boyfriend was found with her throat slit, buried in the garden of her family home, her head facing Mecca in August 2006.

Her father Mohammed confessed to her slaying. Prosecutors allege he murdered Hina with the aid of other male relatives after they decided Hina had ‘dishonored’ their family.

Now is where I’d like to unpack this a little bit for you and sound off on this-

Let me get this straight… dishonoring the family to this dude (the father) meant that his daughter was having a relationship with a dude that was not muslim (he was Italian and Catholic), and not upholding traditional muslim “values”-

-so to make that right….he slit her throat like she was a head of cattle?

Where is the honor in THAT? and to hear that other male relatives participated in this crime (maybe holding her down or gagging her etc) confuses me even more. Was it the “gang” mentality that took hold? Did Sayed get a call from Uncle Mohammed that day? I can hear it now…

Sayed: Hello?

Uncle: Hello nephew, this is Uncle Mohammed. What are you doing today?

Sayed: I’m working and then after work I thought I’d stop for some tea with the boys

Uncle: Want to come over and help me kill my daughter? She’s got this boyfriend I don’t like and I need some help to bring back honor to the family.

Sayed: Hey man, count me in! I’m all about honor!

Uncle: Excellent my nephew, I will swing by and pick you up at 5:00-don’t forget the duct tape and a samurai sword ok?

Sayed: Yeah, maybe I’ll call my brother and see if he wants to come too

Uncle: Very good, the more the merrier. We will be tired after we kill her, he can dig the shallow grave.

Islam is coined “The Religion of Peace”—did you know that?
