Good news on Honor killings

Women are being sacrificed at the alter of custom, tribal prejudice and family honor. If you're looking for the Islamic law on the punishment of adultery for unmarried men and women. You will see that it's clearly: NOT DEATH!

So when people take it upon themselves to be more strict than the law they are living under. Then there's something wrong here. And needs to be stopped

I don't say that crimes of passion shouldn't exist. But premeditated murder NEEDS to go! It must be stopped at any and all costs. Stricter laws for these in-family premeditated murders must be established. The whole society needs to be reconditioned to understand that it's NOT OK, it's NOT revenging for the family's honor and it's NOT an honorable act

The precedent that the Ayatollah is pioneering is something that I hope will continue around the rest of the Arab and Islamic world. the more the religious figures adopt this, the more people will follow. And more lives will be saved from a worthless death.

Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, I salute you, and applaud your move!
