Honour killings, are they justified? by Arabian Oud {R}

Is it justified to kill a man or a woman because we think they are tainting our family's name? Is it ok for a father or a brother to kill his sister and daughter. Ok for them to beat her, ok for them to beat the man who truely loves a woman. The list is endless and yet the reasons are never justified, call it ignorance or plain 'Jahiliya', people have killed innocent souls within their own families to save their so called ' family name' and save it from getting ruined. There have been numerous cases in the UK, this has become so common now, a couple were sentenced to prison, after they were found guilty of killing their daughter. Her body was found in the forest and she was possibly poisoned. Killing an innocent soul is 'Haram', forbidden, taboo. I never read in any Islamic book saying it's ok to kill someone who's pure innocent. A father killed his daughter, when he saw her talk to a boy, and then he automatically assumes, he is her boyfriend, especially in the UK. This is plain ignorance, how can one just jump to a conclusion without asking.

One of my upcoming projects is an investigative report on honour killings and the measures required to stop this bloodshed of innocent lives. It's like proper butchering humans because you can't stand the fact they are not complying with your principles.

But what I want to know before I begin to research, do you think it's okay to kill someone in the name of honour killing?

FOREVER LOVE- DOES IT EXIST?

I often ask myself,does true love exist? out of curiosity, this question hoovers around my mind, coz I have seen the majority cry over in love rather than be happy in love. When your alone, you wish you had someone and when you have that someone, your either happy or miserable, soon the short lived happiness turns ugly and all that feeling of love and compassion is fake. I am a non believer in love, but I ask you all, do you believe in love? do you even think something such as 'true love' exists? I would admit, I have come across few very few people who have fought for their love and stood firm and remained sincere and loyal through out.. but then, that's so rare to find, like they say 'true love is soo rare to find',like good things and people are rare to find. Once we lose them, it's then we realise their value, we never value something or someone till we have them, coz we think, we don't have to worry about anything and will never lose them. This is a wro

CAMPAIGN AGAINST FORCED MARRIAGES & HONOR KILLINGS IN THE UK - RUN BY ARABIAN OUD {R} -PLEASE JOIN

Over the past few years, especially recently, there have been a lot of honor killings in the UK, most of them are linked to forced marriages, and not surprisingly, these honor killings have been committed by Muslim people. Recently, a Pakistani girl was brutally murdered by her father, brother and cousin brother, meanwhile her mother and small neices were watching the murder. the neices as small as 2 and 4 yrs old were compelled to stand and watch, so if they tried to do something in future, this would be their end. There have been numerous cases, call it illiteracy or plain 'Jahiliya' ignorance, which results in killing their flesh and blood. Me and my friends have decided to set up a campaign against honor killing and forced marriages, and convince the British government that there is a need to impose a strict law which condemns such barbaric activities. and there shall be severe punishment. In previous editions it was mentioned, the government wouldnt impose a law, becoz it

The Hidden Soul by Arabian Oud {R}

The Hidden Soul... Hiding from the world, Coz I feel I cannot trust, I feel it in my spine, I feel it in my heart, The pain, the sadness, ... The disappointment continues, Revealing something new, I got tricked by you, You were clever to exploit, My innocence, My purity, My soul, Play a mind game for so long, Then abandon me in the end, Leaving me to bleed and die... How could you be so cold? To do this to the one you love, You once said, you would never leave, How could you then fade like air, And leave me clueless, I question myself now everyday, Did I deserve this torment and endless pain?
