Just a guy looking for funny stuff on the internet.

I thought it was just the dog shit WiFi at work. That's good to know.

Here we go, we're off on another tangent. Look mate, I'm just going to say, cheers, have a good one because this is laughable.

In all seriousness, this particular verse, that you like so much. Go and read the context/scholarly consensus for it and it will make sense.

I've got to get back to work. I hope you'll take me up on that plea for reading. I'll go and check out some more ex-Muslim perspectives.

Haha, cherry picking verses without context, understanding or even the means to understand. You're not doing yourself any favours here.

I have. The arguments made are primarily out of ignorance, lack of understanding and general practice. It's not the best place for knowledge

Wow, you just made a huge faux pas there. You need to do a bit more reading about Islam, look for what Islamic scholars understand here.

In Islam we look to scholarly consensus. But I would kindly request you, even to satiate a desire for knowledge, to read more about Islam.

If you think Islam does, you need to provide evidence for that in the Islamic teachings. I'll spoil it for you, you won't find it.

The crux of the matter is, was this guy motivated by religion? The answer is no, because Islam doesn't teach that, it condemns it.

I think you're arguing with a strawman here. I didn't say religion is natural, I think you did earlier. I defined the two correctly.

I just gave you the distinction between religion and culture there, they are different constructs, but we can agree to disagree. Take care.

With an objective based reading into Islam and its doctrines, you'll come to realise that honour killings aren't justified in the religion.

You can have two people with the same culture but different religion. That's the distinction from my understanding.

Culture can be defined as, language, social habits, cuisine, music etc. Religion is belief, rituals, world views, rules etc.

Alright, OK. Take care mate.

Be careful about drawing your sources exclusively from the news. Check out works from Dr Jonathan Brown on honour killings. Take care.

Care to substantiate? Why are religion and culture the same thing, according to you?

No, innocent is quite clear. Where have you read that it is a uniquely Muslim problem? Can you source it?

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

There really isn't much room for interpretation here. It's quite clear that you can't kill an innocent person in Islam, it's explicit.

Well said. We need to make people aware that honour killings are not an Islamic concept. These disgusting murderers are driven by culture.

Islam doesn't allow for this. He did this because of his culture. He's pathetic and vile and deserves to rot in prison.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

It doesn't. There is no scriptural evidence or understanding that would lead to honours killings in Islam. Islam infact, forbids it.

This piece of trash was driven by his culture to commit this atrocity. Islam doesn't allow for shedding the blood of innocents.

It's not a religious concept. This piece of trash was driven by his culture. They are separate. I hope he rots in prison.
